Jilin Electric Power put its 180,000 tons per year, $822 million renewable ammonia production plant into operation on July 26, adding to a growing list of Chinese projects beginning renewable ammonia production in 2025. 700 MW of wind power and 100 MW of solar PV will be buffered by a 40 MW energy storage system, reportedly including solid-state hydrogen storage. The plant features a mixture of PEM and alkaline electrolysis, supplied by Chinese technology providers LONGi Hydrogen, SANY Hydrogen, Sunshine Hydrogen, and Perri Hydrogen Energy.
In his speech, [National Energy Board Chief Economist] Lu Junling…congratulated the Daan project on its commissioning. He said that 2025 is the end of the 14th Five-Year Plan, and the smooth and successful commissioning of the Daan project is of symbolic significance, providing a model of Jilin and central enterprises for China to accelerate the development of hydrogen energy and green fuel industries, give full play to the advantages of regional energy resources, and coordinate the integrated development and application of hydrogen energy.

It is necessary to carry out good product green certification work and seek to build industrial brands realistically. It is necessary to do a good job of “looking back” on engineering projects, carry out standardized system design, support the mass replication of green hydrogen-based energy projects, and build core competitiveness. It is necessary to appropriately improve the talent reserve, give full play to the role of project incubators, and lay a solid foundation for the high-quality development of the industry. It is necessary to accelerate the construction of a green hydrogen-based energy platform, do a good job in planning the layout, and build the demonstration advantage into a leading advantage as soon as possible.
