Hardcore Equipment Empowers a World-Class Hydrogen Project! NEW JCM Supports the Commissioning of the Green Hydrogen-Ammonia-Methanol Integrated Project in Songyuan City
2025-12-18
On December 16, 2025, the first phase of the world’s largest green hydrogen-ammonia-methanol integrated project, the China Energy Engineering Corporation Limited’s Songyuan Hydrogen Industry Park (Green Hydrogen-Ammonia-Methanol Integrated Project) (referred to as the “Songyuan Project”), officially commenced operations. The project achieves local consumption of green electricity and high-value conversion, integrates the full hydrogen value chain from production, storage, and transportation to utilization, and advances China’s hydrogen industry from pilot exploration to large-scale commercial application.

As China’s first large-scale green hydrogen-ammonia-methanol, co-production project, it has achieved 100% domestic production of key core equipment and generated over a hundred patents, proprietary technologies, and standards, laying a solid foundation for the standardized and large-scale development of China’s hydrogen industry.

The Songyuan Project places extremely high demands on the performance, reliability, and adaptability of its core equipment. Leveraging its strong technological expertise and continuous innovation, NEW JCM independently developed and manufactured the green hydrogen-ammonia synthesis gas compressor units, successfully taking on the critical role of ensuring core equipment performance. From R&D and manufacturing to testing, the units achieved first-time commissioning success, safeguarding the smooth commissioning and operation of the project.

The synthesis gas compressor units serve as a critical link between green hydrogen production and ammonia-methanol synthesis, tasked with boosting the feed gas to the pressure required for the synthesis reactions. Facing multiple stringent challenges—such as the special characteristics of hydrogen-containing compression media and the uncertainties of complex and variable operating conditions—NEW JCM’s R&D and engineering teams rose to the occasion. They overcame several core technical challenges, including efficient aerodynamic design for hydrogen-containing synthesis gas, long-term operational reliability under extreme conditions, and rotor dynamic stability for large-scale units. Through their outstanding technical capabilities, the teams fully demonstrated NEW JCM’s internationally advanced level in centrifugal compressor technology.

The commissioning of the first phase of the Songyuan Project includes the construction of 800,000 kW of new energy power generation facilities, with an annual output of 45,000 tons of green hydrogen, 200,000 tons of green ammonia and green methanol. It can save approximately 600,000 tons of standard coal per year and reduce 740,000 tons of CO₂ emissions, delivering significant environmental benefits. Notably, the project secured the ISCC EU green certification immediately upon commissioning and signed the world’s first global sales contract for green ammonia as ocean-going fuel, pioneering a new certification model for integrated green hydrogen-ammonia-methanol projects. At the same time, it set four world records: the largest scale, largest hydrogen storage capacity, widest load-flexible process, and largest alkaline electrolysis hydrogen production equipment, filling a technological gap in China for flexible green electricity–directly coupled hydrogen-ammonia-methanol production.
From launching its international blueprint with the Kazakhstan project to helping the Songyuan Hydrogen Project set new global records, NEW JCM has consistently driven forward with technological innovation and steadily advanced in the high-end energy equipment sector. Looking ahead, NEW JCM will continue to focus on the energy equipment field, leveraging more of its “NEW JCM Intelligence” and “NEW JCM Solutions” to empower the green transformation and high-quality development of the global energy industry.
