World-first deployment: Envision delivers the first AI-integrated, off-grid green hydrogen and ammonia facility at commercial scale.
Industrial decarbonization at scale: The plant produces 320,000 tons of green ammonia annually, with a roadmap to 1.5 million tons by 2028.
Global validation and demand: Certified by Bureau Veritas and backed by a major offtake agreement with Marubeni Corporation.
Envision, a global leader in green technology, has officially commissioned the world’s largest and most advanced green hydrogen and ammonia facility — the first to operate off-grid and fully powered by AI-integrated renewable energy systems. Located in the Chifeng Net Zero Industrial Park in China, the plant is now producing 320,000 tons of green ammonia per year, with exports expected to begin in Q4.
“This is more than a technological milestone,” said Lei Zhang, Envision’s Founder and CEO. “Scalable, green alternatives are now real and operational. We can’t get to net zero without green hydrogen, and we can’t afford to wait. This is the blueprint for a clean energy future.”
The project marks several world-firsts:
It operates fully off-grid, powered by a proprietary system combining wind turbines, grid-forming battery storage, and predictive meteorological modeling.
It uses advanced AI to manage real-time optimization between renewable input, electrolyzer demand, and ammonia synthesis.
It applies a breakthrough energy storage method, storing surplus green power as liquid nitrogen via dynamic air-separation units — a novel load flexibility solution.
Green ammonia, derived from hydrogen, is used as a stable medium for transport and storage — unlocking scalable adoption in hard-to-abate industries. The AI-enabled system allows the plant to dynamically balance intermittent renewable power while ensuring continuous, cost-effective production without grid dependency.

By 2028, Envision aims to scale production to 1.5 million tons per year, positioning the industrial park as a model for replicable, zero-carbon industrial hubs globally.
The project has secured a long-term offtake agreement with Marubeni Corporation, one of Japan’s largest trading houses. The deal will accelerate green ammonia adoption in sectors including fertilizers, chemicals, and maritime transport.
Further solidifying its leadership, the plant received the Bureau Veritas Renewable Ammonia Certification, validating its adherence to global sustainability, safety, and emissions benchmarks.
As nations seek alternatives to the 5-billion-ton fossil fuel supply chain, Envision’s solution offers a path to parity with grey ammonia and methanol by 2028.
With its modular, scalable blueprint, Envision’s facility demonstrates how AI, renewables, and smart infrastructure can converge to lead the clean molecule revolution and transform global energy systems.
