Weifang Port in China, a part of the Shandong Port Group, made history by becoming the country's first zero-carbon port on October 15, 2024. This achievement was recognized following certification from the China Classification Society, highlighting the port's dedication to green and low-carbon development. As part of its Green and Low-carbon Port Plan for the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021–2025), Weifang Port significantly increased its utilization of clean energy, with green initiatives becoming a defining characteristic of the port. One notable initiative was the installation of four 6.7 megawatt wind turbines at the port, which were connected to the power grid on September 30. These turbines generate over 70 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, with excess power being shared with the community. This initiative not only saved Weifang Port 9.6 million yuan ($1.35 million) in electricity costs but also led to a substantial reduction of 57,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions in a single year. Moreover, Weifang Port embraced a holistic approach to energy generation by implementing a mix of wind, solar, and hydrogen technologies. The port introduced a 3.3 megawatt peak photovoltaic power station that contributes to an annual power generation of 3.6 million kWh. Additionally, the port established hydrogen refueling stations to support hydrogen-powered heavy-duty trucks, with the capacity to meet the daily refueling needs of four such vehicles. These initiatives underscore Weifang Port's commitment to sustainable practices and its proactive stance toward reducing carbon emissions. By integrating renewable energy sources and promoting clean transportation solutions like hydrogen-powered vehicles, the port sets a positive example for sustainable development in the maritime industry.
