and solar power and generate up to 3.5mn tons of green hydrogen or 20mn tons of green ammonia per year .
The Daxing hydrogen station equipped with Air Liquide technology is the world ' s largest hydrogen station with a capacity of nearly 5 tonnes per day . Located in Beijing , it is part of a 200,00sqm International Hydrogen Energy Demonstration Zone which includes an exhibition hall that was inaugurated in July .
Europe ’ s largest PEM hydrogen electrolyser has begun operations at Shell ’ s Energy and Chemicals Park Rheinland , producing green hydrogen .
As part of the Refhyne European consortium and with European Commission funding through the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking ( FCH JU ), the fully operational plant is the first to use this technology at such a large scale in a refinery .
Plans are underway to expand the capacity of the electrolyser from 10MW to 100MW at the Rheinland site , near Cologne , where Shell also intends to produce sustainable aviation fuel ( SAF ) using renewable power and biomass in the future . A plant for bio-LNG is also in development .
“ This project demonstrates a new kind of energy future and a model of lower-carbon energy production that can be replicated worldwide ,” said Shell ’ s Downstream Director , Huibert Vigeveno .
“ Shell wants to become a leading supplier of green hydrogen for industrial and transport customers in Germany ,” he added . “ We will be involved in the whole process – from power generation , using offshore wind , to hydrogen production and distribution across sectors . We want to be the partner of choice for our customers as we help them decarbonise .”
