Launch of the Sheneng Hainan CZ2 Offshore Wind Power Demonstration Project (Phase II) and Green Hydrogen-Based Energy Demonstration Project 2025-12-23 14:47:13 On December 19, the launch ceremony for the Sheneng Hainan CZ2 Offshore Wind Power Demonstration Project (Phase II) and Green Hydrogen-Based Energy Demonstration Project was successfully held in Danzhou City, Hainan Province. 　　The Shenneng Hainan CZ2 offshore wind power demonstration project is one of the first offshore wind projects in Hainan Province to receive approval from the Ministry of Natural Resources during the 14th Five-Year Plan period. Phase 1 of this project was connected to the grid at full capacity in March 2025, making it the first offshore wind project in Hainan Province to achieve full-capacity grid connection during that period. The second phase of this project, which has now been launched, plans to install 48 advanced wind turbines, each with a capacity of 12 megawatts, along with offshore step-up substations; full grid connection is scheduled for the end of 2026. Once the CZ2 project is operating at full capacity, it will be able to generate approximately 3.7 billion kWh of clean electricity per year, saving over one million tons of standard coal and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by nearly three million tons. This will provide strong support for the transformation of Hainan’s energy structure as well as the development of its green and low-carbon industries. 　　The green hydrogen-based energy demonstration project launched simultaneously is Hainan Province’s first large-scale integrated project that utilizes offshore wind power to produce hydrogen through water electrolysis, combined with CCUS technology to manufacture green methanol. Its goal is to establish a complete technical pathway involving \"offshore wind power – green electricity for hydrogen production – green methanol.\" By efficiently converting abundant green electricity resources into green fuels, this project helps alleviate the pressure associated with the use of new energy sources, while also providing a viable solution for reducing carbon emissions in key industries. It plays a vital role in optimizing the energy structure and promoting industrial upgrading. 　　It is reported that this green hydrogen-based energy demonstration project represents the results of Shenneng’s long-term efforts and explorations in the field of green and low-carbon development. By building on the experience gained from Shanghai’s 100,000-ton green methanol project in terms of green certification systems, as well as the technological advancements achieved in Shenneng’s CCUS-based methanol production pilot project at Waisan Power Plant, Shenneng is actively working to develop an integrated development path for electricity, hydrogen, and methanol, thereby promoting the deep integration of \"green electricity\" and \"green fuels\". 　　Furthermore, these two projects also hold significant innovative value in terms of industrial models and strategic importance: through innovations in industrial models, and by leveraging the policy advantages of Hainan Free Trade Port, they create a closed-loop ecosystem of \"green electricity production – on-site conversion – international trade\". This approach not only ensures a supply of green electricity in Hainan but also enables green methanol to enter the international shipping market ； Strategic value innovation drives the deep integration of the marine economy and low-carbon industries, creates models for regional coordinated development, and provides replicable and scalable solutions for implementing the \"dual carbon\" strategy.
