China’s Haitai Solar says its green hydrogen pipeline transmission project connecting Kangbao and Caofeidian, in Hebei Province, will start operations at the end of 2026, Kallanish Power Materials reports.
The pipeline starts at Kangbao Station near the Kangbao Hydrogen Plant in Zhangjiakou City, and ends at Caofeidian Station in Tangshan City, covering 20 districts and counties in the cities of Zhangjiakou, Chengde, and Tangshan. The 1,038-kilometre line has a design pressure of 7.2 megapascals, pipe diameter of 813 millimetres, and annual hydrogen transmission capacity of 1.55 million tonnes.
Haitai Solar is currently conducting hydrogen compatibility tests on pipes and valves for the project. It expects this project to become the world’s largest green hydrogen pipeline transmission project in terms of capacity, further promoting the integrated development of the hydrogen industry in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.
“The pipeline is a bridge connecting hydrogen production and application terminals, achieving effective connection between resources and markets,” Haitai Solar’s general manager explains.
“One end is connected to the hydrogen production site, Zhangjiakou, which has abundant wind and solar energy resources and can directly produce green hydrogen using renewable energy,” he continues. “The other end is connected to the hydrogen consumption site, Tangshan. As an industrial centre, the area has a wealth of hydrogen application scenarios, such as hydrogen heavy trucks and hydrogen metallurgy.”
