H2Terminals announces hydrogen projects to expand its reach across China

The collaboration which features a subsidiary of the China National Energy Group will oversee the development of three major net-zero hydrogen projects.

H2Terminals, a leader in green hydrogen marine technology has partnered with a subsidiary of the China National Energy Group (CHN Energy), with aims of developing net-zero hydrogen projects in China.

The partnership which features Longyuan Environmental Protection Co Ltd. and . Yangzhou Pingbuqingyun Hydrogen Tech Ltd (Hidrogen), aims to take use of the company’s equipment manufacturing capabilities.

Alongside this, H2Terminals aims to establish important demonstration sites within the National Energy Group’s network.

H2Terminals is set to focus on three main areas of development, which include:

  • An offshore zero-carbon integrated energy island project
  • A zero-carbon town development
  • A zero-carbon port initiative

The projects are set to feature a multitude of distribution technologies, including advanced AEM high-pressure seawater electrolysis for hydrogen production and hydrogen liquefaction systems.

According to H2Terminals the innovative floating energy island concept is capable of generating up to 876,000 MWh of hydrogen annually per unit.

Gerry Wilkinson, CEO of H2Terminals, emphasised the significance of these agreements and how collaboration with China can boost the hydrogen ecosystem in the UK.

Wilkinson said: “This is a significant Anglo-Chinese collaboration to fully exploit the H2Terminals supply chain ecosystem that will be implemented in the UK.

“Collaborating with our partners on three major projects in China as well as major infrastructure projects in the UK will ensure our marine-based approach will be given the best possible runway to success and further help the decarbonization of those countries that choose to implement our solutions” added Wilkinson.

Aligning with the UK Governments plans for a “thriving” hydrogen economy, H2Terminals are determined to meet the demands by providing a “reliable, cost-effective, and scalable solution for green hydrogen storage, transportation, and application.

As highlighted in the Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution, developing a successful low carbon hydrogen sector in the UK is key to the government’s plan to build back better with a “cleaner, greener energy system”.
