On July 2, 2026, a bidding for the future of China's hydrogen energy industry came to an end in the Ganqimaodu Port Processing Park in Urad Middle Banner, Bayannur City, Inner Mongolia. China Power Construction Beijing Institute, together with partners such as Yunnan Construction Investment and China Railway 17th Bureau, won the production project of alloy solid hydrogen storage materials with a strong bid of 3.255 billion yuan. This super factory with an annual output of 15000 tons of hydrogen storage materials is about to move from drawings to reality.

Annual production of 10000 ton hydrogen storage base

The total construction area of the first phase of the project is 114000 square meters, and 96 standardized production lines are planned to be built. In the future, the goal of producing 15000 tons of alloy solid hydrogen storage materials annually will be achieved. The park is divided into three functional areas: living area, production area, and auxiliary area, covering comprehensive buildings, dormitory buildings, 8 production plants, finished product warehouses, raw material warehouses, and supporting facilities such as 110 kV substations. The alloy solid hydrogen storage material produced in this project is made from more than ten metals and non metals such as lanthanum, magnesium, nickel, cobalt, titanium, etc., and is melted, sintered, crushed, and canned under vacuum high temperature. The production process has no waste residue, wastewater, or exhaust gas emissions, and has the advantages of green environmental protection.

The Electric Power Construction Consortium won the championship with strong momentum

After intense bidding, the consortium consisting of China Power Construction Beijing Institute, Yunnan Construction Investment Company 1, China Railway 17th Bureau and China Railway 17th Bureau Electrification Company ranked first with a bid of 3.25497 billion yuan; China Power Construction Central South Institute ranks second with 3.25515 billion yuan; Beijing Zhongwai Construction Architectural Design Company ranked third with 3.25463 trillion yuan. Two design institutes under China Electric Power Construction Corporation have taken the top two spots, demonstrating their dominance in the infrastructure field of the new energy materials industry. The key to the consortium's victory lies in the technical accumulation of China Power Construction Beijing Institute in the fields of hydropower and new energy survey and design, combined with the rich experience of China Railway 17th Bureau in large-scale station construction, forming a full chain general contracting capability from civil engineering to electromechanical, from factory buildings to equipment installation.

Closed loop industrial chain reshapes energy landscape

The settlement of this project in Urad Middle Banner is not accidental. The local area has abundant scenic resources and is an ideal place for China's green hydrogen production. The implementation of the hydrogen storage material project will connect new energy generation, hydrogen production, and hydrogen storage materials into a complete industrial chain loop, promoting Inner Mongolia's transformation from a traditional energy base to an advanced material manufacturing highland. The scale of producing 15000 tons per year will effectively reduce the market cost of solid-state hydrogen storage materials and pave the way for the large-scale commercial application of hydrogen energy. With the announcement of the winning bid results, the project is about to break ground. Against the backdrop of the dual carbon target, the construction process of this green factory has attracted much attention from the industry.Editor/Gao Xue
