  • The offshore platform is equipped with cutting-edge technology, including electrolysis systems and energy storage devices, showcasing a move towards sustainable energy solutions.
  • The initiative aims to establish standards for China's offshore hydrogen production sector and contribute to addressing storage and transportation challenges for clean marine fuels and industrial raw materials.
China has unveiled its pioneering offshore platform in Yantai for the production of green hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol, signaling a major leap towards sustainable energy solutions. This joint project by China Energy Investment Corporation, CIMC Raffles, and Guoneng Hydrogen Innovation Technology represents the country's first comprehensive demonstration of offshore hydrogen production. The platform, dubbed the 'world's first' for producing hydrogen, methanol, and ammonia, features cutting-edge technology such as electrolysis systems and energy storage devices to achieve self-sufficiency. Constructed to cater to the clean fuel needs of ocean-going ships, the project began trial operations after receiving approval from the China Classification Society. The initiative not only aims to provide clean marine fuels but also addresses storage and transportation challenges by converting hydrogen into methanol and ammonia. By producing these fuels and industrial raw materials, the project contributes to both the maritime industry and environmental sustainability. This milestone achievement sets technical standards for China's offshore hydrogen production sector and establishes a framework for regulatory compliance in the field.
