A construction project planning permit has cleared review for Xinjiang Haoyuan Chemical Co., Ltd.'s photovoltaic-powered hydrogen production and clean resource utilization project in Jimsar County, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, according to information published on the Xinjiang Government Services Network on November 9, 2026.

The permit filing lists total investment at RMB 3.4 billion (approximately US$510 million).

The project will be developed in three phases, with a planned annual production capacity of 800,000 tonnes of ammonia and 100,000 tonnes of green methanol.

Phase I will include a 400,000-tonne-per-year ammonia production facility. Of this capacity, 300,000 tonnes will serve as feedstock for urea solution production, while 50,000 tonnes will be sold as commercial ammonia and another 50,000 tonnes produced as green ammonia.

The phase will also include annual production capacities of 500,000 tonnes of urea solution, 500,000 tonnes of high-nitrogen water-soluble compound fertilizer, 200,000 tonnes of diesel exhaust fluid, 120,000 tonnes of melamine and 100,000 tonnes of food-grade carbon dioxide. A supporting water-electrolysis facility will produce 20,000 tonnes of hydrogen annually.

Phase II will replicate the main production configuration of Phase I, adding another 400,000 tonnes per year of ammonia capacity, alongside the same planned capacities for urea solution, high-nitrogen water-soluble compound fertilizer, diesel exhaust fluid, melamine and food-grade carbon dioxide.

Phase III will focus on green methanol production, with a planned annual capacity of 100,000 tonnes, supported by an additional water-electrolysis hydrogen production facility rated at 20,000 tonnes per year.

The overall development will also include production facilities, storage and transportation infrastructure, utility systems, auxiliary production facilities and administrative areas.

The project is designed to integrate photovoltaic-powered hydrogen production with resource utilization and low-carbon chemical manufacturing, supporting the development of green hydrogen and downstream chemical products in Xinjiang.
