Sinopec's Aotou Hydrogenation Station will not only help Hong Kong achieve the goal of "carbon neutrality", but also be an indispensable part of Hong Kong's future transportation, logistics and economic development.
On November 20, Sinopec Hong Kong Aotou Hydrogen Station, the first hydrogen station for the public in Hong Kong, was officially launched. This is also the first hydrogenation station started by Sinopec abroad.
It is understood that the Aotou hydrogenation station is planned according to the five-in-one comprehensive energy station of "oil, gas, hydrogen, electricity and service", and will provide all-weather hydrogenation services to public buses, food ring vehicles and private cars in the future. The station has a daily hydrogenation capacity of 1,000 kg and is initially priced at HK $108 per kg. Compared with gasoline vehicles, hydrogen vehicles save about HK $80 per hundred kilometers, and HK $9 per liter at current oil prices.
Hong Kong Au Tau Hydrogen Station, located at No.17 Kam Tin Road, Yuen Long, New Territories, will ensure hydrogen supply by means of cross-border transportation of hydrogen energy in Dawan District, PSA (pressure swing adsorption) hydrogen production and photovoltaic green hydrogen production. In the first stage after
completion, the hydrogen will be supplied by Guangzhou Petrochemical Company; in the second stage, the hydrogen will be produced in the station, and the hydrogen will be extracted through the purification of pressure swing adsorption pipeline gas at the hydrogenation station site. It is estimated that 1000 kg of hydrogen can be extracted every day, and all the hydrogen will be supplied locally; The third stage will promote the development of local green hydrogen, such as the installation of photovoltaic power generation facilities in Hong Kong reservoirs to produce "green hydrogen". At present, Sinopec Hong Kong has started the feasibility study and analysis of hydrogen production in Shuanwan Reservoir. The planned photovoltaic panel area of the project is 5.24 hectares, the power generation scale is 90 MW, and the annual output of hydrogen is 2200 tons. After completion, it will provide reliable supply guarantee for the application of hydrogen energy in Hong Kong.
