On October 12, the hydrogen energy industry project with a total investment of 11.2 billion yuan by Shanxi Pengfei Group Co., Ltd. commenced construction at the Xizi Industrial Park in Ningcheng County, Chifeng City. This project is an integrated wind power, hydrogen production, and alcohol production project. It involves the construction of a 262.5MW wind power generation facility, utilizing 80% of non-grid-connected wind power for hydrogen production through water electrolysis to yield 8,000 tons of green hydrogen annually. Additionally, it includes the construction of a facility to produce 150,000 tons of green methanol annually through biomass gasification.

It is reported that the project is primarily focusing on the construction of green hydrogen and green methanol production projects through wind and solar power complementary generation, as well as hydrogen refueling integrated energy islands, and zero-carbon smart logistics transportation projects. Upon completion and reaching full capacity, the project is expected to generate an annual output value of 4.8 billion yuan, profits and taxes of 840 million yuan, and create more than 3,500 jobs.
