Sinopec's plant makes H2 using proton-exchange membrane electrolysis and has a storage capacity of 210,000 m3.

Sinopec has begun production at its green hydrogen pilot plant in northwest China. The facility can make 20,000 metric tons per year of H2, a capacity the firm says makes it the largest solar H2 project in the world. Sinopec says it will use the plant’s output at its nearby Tahe Refining & Chemical complex to replace H2 made using fossil fuels.
