For the first phase, GCL New Energy will produce 2.3 million tons of ammonia annually, which can supply 700,000 tons of "blue" hydrogen for the domestic market.

In terms of the "green" hydrogen unit, the company plans to build 100 comprehensive energy stations by 2025 with an annual production capacity of 400,000 tons.

The "blue" hydrogen is produced by transforming methane into hydrogen plus carbon dioxide, while the "green" hydrogen – also referred to as "clean hydrogen" – is produced by using clean energy from surplus renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind power.
