Envision has commissioned the world's largest off-grid, AI-enabled green hydrogen and ammonia production facility in Chifeng, China.
In a monumental stride towards a sustainable energy future, Envision, a global pioneer in green technology and energy transformation, officially announced the successful commissioning of the world's largest and most advanced green hydrogen and ammonia production facility. Located within the innovative Chifeng Net Zero Industrial Park, this groundbreaking plant represents a significant leap forward in industrial decarbonization, powered entirely by cutting-edge artificial intelligence.
The facility, which commenced operations and is already delivering 320,000 tons of green ammonia annually, with exports slated to begin in the fourth quarter of 2025, is a testament to Envision's commitment to clean energy innovation. Its unique off-grid design, coupled with advanced AI capabilities, ensures real-time optimization and unparalleled stability at scale, setting a new global standard for green fuel production.
What sets Envision's Chifeng plant apart is its pioneering application of innovative energy storage and load flexibility at a commercial scale. The system ingeniously converts surplus green power into liquid nitrogen, stored within a dynamic air-separation unit. This allows electrolyzers to intelligently respond to fluctuations in renewable power, dynamically optimizing energy absorption and ammonia production. By utilizing green ammonia as a stable and transportable medium, Envision has effectively unlocked a practical pathway to scaling hydrogen use across a wide array of heavy industries, overcoming previous logistical challenges.
The plant's energy independence is a hallmark of its design, relying on a proprietary AI-integrated off-grid renewable system. This robust system incorporates advanced wind turbines, grid-forming battery storage, and sophisticated predictive meteorological modeling. This comprehensive approach enables the dynamic balancing of wind and solar input with the demands of electrolyzers and ammonia synthesis, guaranteeing continuous and cost-effective green fuel production without any reliance on conventional grid infrastructure.
The ambitions for the Chifeng Net Zero Industrial Park are substantial. By 2028, the park is projected to escalate its green ammonia production to an impressive 1.5 million tons per year. This scalable model is envisioned to serve as a replicable blueprint for similar clean industrial hubs worldwide, accelerating the global transition away from fossil fuels.
The project has already garnered significant international interest, highlighted by a long-term offtake agreement with Marubeni Corporation, one of Japan's largest trading houses. This strategic partnership is poised to accelerate the adoption of green ammonia across vital sectors, including fertilizers, chemicals, and shipping, further solidifying its role in global decarbonization efforts.
