Sinopec's Kuqa green hydrogen project in Xinjiang has achieved 100% full-load operation across 52 alkaline electrolysers, reducing DC power consumption to 4.2 kWh per Nm³ and delivering hydrogen directly to the Tahe Refinery via a 10 km pipeline at approximately $2.5 per kilogram. The milestone demonstrates that solar-powered hydrogen production can integrate into existing industrial refinery demand at scale.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
Sinopec just proved you can run 52 electrolysers at full capacity supplying a real refinery customer at scale - that means the hardware and logistics chain works. If you make electrolysers, purification systems, pipeline components or hydrogen-consuming process equipment, you now know this is the production model that buyers will scale.
