CHN Energy’s subsidiary, Guohua Energy Investment, has connected its Rudong Integrated Photovoltaic-hydrogen-storage project to the power grid.
Located on the coastal tidal flats of the Yudong Reclamation Area in Rudong County, this project marks a significant step in energy innovation by combining photovoltaic power generation, hydrogen production and refueling, alongside energy storage.
The Rudong project is sizeable, covering 287 hectares with a capacity of 400 MW. Key infrastructure includes a newly constructed 220 kV onshore booster station and a 60 MW/120 MWh energy storage system. Additionally, it boasts a hydrogen production and refueling facility capable of producing 1,500 cubic meters per hour and processing 500 kg daily. This integration is set to cut carbon emissions by about 309,400 tonnes annually.
This project is part of China’s strategic initiative, the third batch of Desert, Gobi, and Rocky Areas Mega Wind and Solar Base Projects. The expected annual electricity output is approximately 468 million kWh. By harnessing the coastal tidal flats and employing advanced photovoltaic technologies and smart control systems, the project enhances energy conversion and storage efficiency.
China’s commitment to renewable energy growth extends beyond its borders with substantial investments like the $2.18 billion allocated to Serbia’s renewable energy projects. Such endeavors aim to bolster infrastructure and capacity in international markets, reinforcing China’s leadership in the renewable energy sphere.
