China Huadian Advances Construction of 800 MW Wind Power-to-Hydrogen-to-Ammonia Project in Yushu, Jilin

en.Wedoany.com Reported - China Huadian is advancing an integrated wind power-to-hydrogen-to-ammonia demonstration project in Yushu City, Changchun City, Jilin Province. The project is being implemented by Huadian Changchun Green Hydrogen Technology Energy Co., Ltd., with a total supporting wind power capacity of 800 MW. Of this, the 640 MW portion comprises 64 wind turbines of 10 MW each, and the 160 MW portion comprises 16 wind turbines of 10 MW each, totaling 80 turbines across both parts. The 640 MW portion mainly adopts a self-generation and self-consumption model, while the 160 MW portion adopts a self-generation and self-consumption model with surplus power fed into the grid.

The "Hydrogen-Powered Jilin" project list previously published by Jilin Province shows that the Huadian Yushu project plans to build water electrolysis green hydrogen production facilities with an annual output of approximately 9,500 tons of green hydrogen, supported by a green synthetic ammonia facility with an annual output of approximately 33,000 tons. The project uses wind power to produce green hydrogen, which is then further used for synthetic ammonia production, forming an integrated "wind power—hydrogen production—synthetic ammonia" production chain.

In terms of investment, the 640 MW wind power portion has a total investment of approximately RMB 2.878 billion, with construction sites involving Wukeshu Town, Gongpeng Town, Liujia Town, Enyu Township, Minjia Town, and Xianfeng Township; the 160 MW wind power portion has a total investment of approximately RMB 743 million, located in Xiushui Town, Dapo Town, and Liujia Town, and includes a newly built 220 kV booster station. The approved investment for the two wind power projects totals approximately RMB 3.621 billion.

The ecological and environmental department of Jilin Province has completed the environmental impact assessment review process for the 640 MW wind power portion. In addition to 64 10 MW wind turbines, this portion also includes 64 box-type transformers, approximately 62 kilometers of on-site maintenance roads, and related auxiliary facilities. After the project is completed, the wind power will mainly serve hydrogen production and synthetic ammonia production, providing a power source for the local green hydrogen chemical industry in Yushu.

Huadian is currently accelerating its layout in the green fuel industry. China Huadian stated publicly on September 22 that the company is promoting the development of the entire industrial chain of new energy-based hydrogen, ammonia, and alcohol production, and enhancing the capacity for local conversion and utilization of new energy through the coupling of wind and solar resources with green chemicals.
