Specifically, the zero-carbon industrial parks use the green electricity generated by wind and solar to produce green hydrogen via alkaline water electrolysis, which is converted into ammonia or methanol for safer and easier transportation to places in need of hydrogen fuels. Flexible ammonia synthesis and a variety of methanol from biomass routes are coupled to make the system more adaptable to fluctuations of renewable generation. The overall process is both mature and innovative, supporting the stable and reliable operation of the system using green electricity, thus ensuring the green properties of hydrogen, ammonia and methanol produced. The products can be exported to European countries, Japan and South Korea, providing green fuels or feedstock for the shipping and chemical industries. This will further enhance the added value of green hydrogen and the profitability of the project.
The technologies involved in the process are well-proven with low technical and economic risks, achieving the integration of source, grid, load and storage while forming a low-carbon, sustainable technology road map that is not only in line with the characteristics of China's energy mix, but also brings immense environmental and social benefits to energy industry expansion, regional branding, and international trade promotion.
