But this plant is "green" and not a result of fossil fuel !!

"If the electricity used in this process comes from a renewable source such as wind or solar then some call it green or renewable hydrogen. The electrolyzer in Zhangjiakou will use onshore wind power, Shell said."

You must have read the piece, with the highlights I mentioned, but not fully, ..so I'll copy & paste just for you.. i'm working with one eyes worth o vision here fella!

"Located in Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province, China, the electrolyzer will produce green hydrogen for fuel cell vehicles during the Winter Olympics.

Wael Sawan, Shell’s integrated gas, renewable and energy solutions director, says electrolyzer is “the largest in our portfolio to date.”

While there is excitement in some quarters about green hydrogen’s potential, the vast majority of hydrogen generation is currently based on fossil fuels"

I applaud the site for putting that at the top, for all to see, ...well

Well , it would be a bit silly , to run those H2 plants nowadays , that are going online now and more to come , from FossilFuels ...

That plant that china builds or has now, is (relatively) close to the sea and close to The Olympics location in Beijing
other big project here , as well by Shell and Thyssenkrupp ( by no means my favorite companies )

Yeah, sometimes quotes can be bit misleading without accursed emojis.
I quite agree
