Siemens Energy and Beijing Green Hydrogen Technology Development, a subsidiary of China Power International Development (China Power) have signed an agreement on providing a hydrogen production system for a hydrogen fuelling system. The green hydrogen production solution provided by Siemens Energy will be located in Yanqing District. The megawatt green hydrogen production solution is the first of its kind to be built by Siemens Energy in China. The project is scheduled to be delivered in May 2021.

Siemens signed an MOU in September 2019 with State Power Investment Corporation (SPIC), the ultimate controlling shareholder of China power. This MOU was on cooperation in green hydrogen development and comprehensive utilisation. The hydrogen production project is the result of this agreement. The two sides plan to further expand their cooperation on green hydrogen projects.

Siemens Energy’s Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyser system Silyzer 200 is at the heart of the hydrogen integrated energy station capable of producing hydrogen on an industrial scale. The hydrogen production system responds quickly – the start-up time under pressure is less than one minute.
