One of the world’s largest green hydrogen plants has started production to power 600 fuel-cell vehicles during the Beijing Winter Olympics as part of China’s efforts to decarbonize its transportation sector.
The power-to-hydrogen electrolyzer facility has 20 megawatts of capacity, according to a statement by Shell Plc, which created a joint venture for the project with a local partner at the Olympics co-host city Zhangjiakou. That makes it one of the largest after a 30-megawatt plant by Chinese coal-based chemical manufacturer Ningxia Baofeng Energy Group Co. and a 20-megawatt project by French gas company Air Liquide SA.
