China-based energy company Envision has commissioned the world’s largest and most advanced green hydrogen and green ammonia production facility. This massive facility, located in the Chifeng Zero Carbon Industrial Park, is also the first AI-powered green hydrogen facility. The facility stands out with its largest off-grid renewable energy system.
The world’s largest green hydrogen and ammonia production facility from China
The facility, which will produce 320,000 tons of green ammonia annually in the initial phase, will begin exporting its production in the last quarter of 2025. The project is a concrete step towards reducing carbon emissions in the industry. According to Envision, this facility is the first to utilize innovative energy storage and load flexibility systems on a commercial scale.
Shiftdelete.netThe excess renewable energy produced is converted into liquid nitrogen and stored in dynamic air separation units. The electrolyzers adapt to fluctuations in solar and wind energy, optimizing the production process with the help of artificial intelligence.
The plant’s AI-powered system works with wind turbines, battery storage units, and meteorological forecasting models. This balances solar and wind energy production with the energy requirements of ammonia synthesis and electrolyzers in real time, ensuring uninterrupted and economical green fuel production without being connected to the grid.
Envision CEO Lei Zhang stated that the project is not only an engineering achievement but also a global milestone in the transition to sustainable energy. Zhang emphasized that green hydrogen is essential for achieving net-zero carbon targets.
The plant’s production capacity is planned to increase to 1.5 million tons per year by 2028. This expansion will transform the plant into a sustainable industrial model that can be implemented globally. Thanks to a long-term purchase agreement with Japan-based Marubeni Corporation, green ammonia will be actively used in the fertilizer, chemical, and maritime transportation sectors.
