CHN Energy has connected its 400 MW Rudong integrated photovoltaic (PV)-hydrogen-storage Project to the grid in China. Located on the Yudong Reclamation Area in Rudong County, this facility is the country's first integrated offshore site combining PV power generation, hydrogen production, and energy storage. Spanning 287 hectares, it features a booster station, energy storage facility, and hydrogen production and refueling station. The project is expected to generate 468 million kWh of electricity annually while significantly reducing carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide emissions. With a focus on sustainability and innovation, the Rudong facility represents a key milestone in China's transition towards clean energy. Its capacity for hydrogen production also underlines the growing importance of green hydrogen technology in the country's energy landscape.
