It's certainly not profitable. If you can make it profitable, you will be the greatest scientist of the 21st century! The electrical energy consumed in the water ionization process now belongs to secondary energy. In our opinion, this is a bit of a waste of energy. Under normal circumstances, the heat released when one mole (two grams) of hydrogen is burned is about 286 KJ, and the heat released when burning per kilogram of gasoline is about 46,000 KJ. The density of gasoline is 0.72 to 0.74 g/ml, and the average value is calculated to be 0.73. Then, burning a liter of gasoline releases heat of 0.73*46,000 = 33,580 KJ. The amount of hydrogen required is calculated to be 33,580/286 = 117.4 mol. The mol to volume conversion is 117.4*22.4=2629.76 liters, which is approximately 2.6 cubic meters. Therefore, the complete combustion of a liter of gasoline produces the heat bornnecessary to completely burn 2.6 cubic meters of hydrogen to achieve the same effect. No matter which way you look at it, it is very cost-effective and inconvenient to use!
It is located in Ningdong, Yinchuan and produces hydrogen through solar water electrolysis.
The solar water electrolysis hydrogen production project located in Ningdong, Yinchuan has been officially put into operation. It is currently the largest water electrolysis hydrogen production plant in the world, with an annual production capacity of 240 million standard cubic meters of green oxygen and 120 million standard cubic meters of green oxygen and will increase from year to year.
The electricity used in the Ningdong solar water electrolysis hydrogen production project comes from photovoltaic power generation, using low electricity prices, new technologies and economies of scale to reducethe cost of green oxygen dozens of times.
