Envision launches world’s largest green hydrogen, ammonia plant in Inner Mongolia


Chinese wind-power developer Envision Energy has commissioned the world’s largest green hydrogen and ammonia plant, as Beijing seeks to decarbonise its hard-to-abate industries and dominate the growing clean-fuel market.

The Shanghai-headquartered company launched the first phase of the project in Chifeng, Inner Mongolia, on Wednesday, which is capable of producing 320,000 tonnes per year of green ammonia, Envision said.

“This is more than a technological milestone,” said Zhang Lei, Envision’s founder and CEO. “Scalable, green alternatives are now real and operational. We can’t get to net zero without green hydrogen, and we can’t afford to wait. This is the blueprint for a clean energy future.”

The company said exports would start in the fourth quarter, adding that the project would continue to be scaled up to produce 1.5 million tonnes of green ammonia per year by 2028.

Beijing considers hydrogen, as well as its major carriers ammonia and methanol, as one of the major pillars of its clean energy ambitions after dominating the global supply chains for electric vehicles, solar energy and batteries.
