Recently, the storage-to-transformation project for a zero-carbon energy hub in Fujian, part of China National Petroleum Corporation’s initiatives, began construction in Fuqing, Fujian, and the main construction phase of Fujian’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) receiving station has started. The Fujian Strait Zero-Carbon Energy Port takes the Fujian LNG receiving station project as its foundation, making use of regional wind and solar energy resources as well as its own cooling capacity. By leveraging China National Petroleum Corporation’s advanced technologies and overall advantages, it focuses on exploring the development of zero-carbon ports and zero-carbon consumption models for natural gas resources. It integrates this approach with the local industrial development plan, working together with local governments to develop the Hanhai Digital Zero-Carbon Energy Industrial Park. Together, they aim to create a base for the comprehensive utilization of green energy and electricity, a digital operation center, and a research and development center for low-temperature technology innovation. The first phase of the Fujian Strait Zero-Carbon Energy Port Storage and Conversion project includes 3 LNG storage tanks with a capacity of 200,000 cubic meters, as well as a process area, utility areas, seawater handling areas, and cold energy areas. The natural gas storage capacity is 375 million cubic meters, and the maximum gasification and transmission capacity is 33 million cubic meters per day. The project focuses on 7 topics such as cold energy generation and demonstration projects for the \"six modernizations,\" and conducts research on 8 cryogenic technologies including PUF insulation for storage tank exteriors and optical fiber monitoring using perlite for settlement detection. At the same time, the project brings together multiple parties to work together on overcoming the challenges associated with the use of domestically produced equipment, resulting in a domestic production rate that is 95% higher than the industry average in China.
