Envision has officially placed the largest and most advanced green hydrogen and ammonia plant in the world. The facility is the first of its kind to be fully powered by AI and the largest off-grid renewable energy system. It can optimise and stabilise itself in real time at scale.
The facility is a huge step forward for clean energy and getting rid of carbon in industry. It already delivers 320,000 tonnes of green ammonia a year and will start selling it in the fourth quarter.
This green hydrogen and ammonia plant is the first of its type to make green ammonia on a large scale. It is located in the Chifeng Net Zero Industrial Park, which is the world’s largest industrial park with no carbon emissions. New technologies to store energy and adjust the load are being employed on a wide scale for the first time. Extra green power is transformed into liquid nitrogen and stored in a machine that separates air. Electrolysers are sophisticated enough to modify how much energy they take in and how much ammonia they generate as renewable energy levels fluctuate. Envision has figured out how to use green ammonia as a stable route to deliver and store hydrogen in heavy industries.
The plant obtains its power from a one-of-a-kind off-grid renewable system that incorporates AI, advanced wind turbines, battery storage that can create a grid, and weather modelling that can anticipate the weather. This system automatically changes how much solar and wind energy it consumes to suit the demands of the electrolyser and ammonia synthesis. This way, green fuel is always produced at a reasonable cost without using the grid.
“This is more than a technological milestone,” said Lei Zhang, Envision’s Founder and CEO. “Scalable, green alternatives are now real and operational. We can’t get to net zero without green hydrogen, and we can’t afford to wait. This is the blueprint for a clean energy future.”
By 2028, the industrial park is projected to produce 1.5 million tonnes of green ammonia per year. This will be a model for all clean industrial hubs across the world.
The green hydrogen and ammonia plant has already pulled interest from businesses all over the globe. For example, Marubeni Corporation, one of Japan’s largest trading corporations, has signed a long-term offtake agreement with the project. The cooperation will help businesses including transportation, chemicals, and fertilisers employ green ammonia more quickly.
The Bureau Veritas Renewable Ammonia Certification shows that the facility meets the highest safety, environmental, and emissions standards in the world.
As the world seeks for new methods to access the 5 billion tonnes of fossil fuels it requires, Envision’s AI-powered green hydrogen and ammonia solution stands out as a good choice that can be used by many people. By 2028, the company expects to be able to charge the same amount for green fuels as it does for grey ammonia and methanol. This will help green fuels compete better.
Designed on a modular, replicable model, Envision’s green hydrogen and ammonia plant can be quickly deployed globally. It’s not only a technical achievement but also a strategic illustration of how smart systems, AI, and renewable energy can work together to revolutionise the global energy infrastructure.
Envision is still in control of the move to a future powered by clean molecules and smart systems. They are getting rid of fossil fuels and replacing them with AI-based, scalable, and long-lasting solutions.
