China''s First Offshore Floating PV Power Plant Commissioned
On July 2, China Petrochemical Corporation (Sinopec) announced the commissioning of China''s first industrial-scale offshore floating photovoltaic (PV) project. Built in a seawater
In the field of green hydrogen refining, Sinopec has been vigorously advancing centralized wind power and photovoltaic development, laying out mega-scale projects integrating renewable energy power generation, hydrogen production, storage, and utilization.
Built in a seawater environment, the project represents a significant breakthrough in floating solar technology for coastal and shallow-sea regions. Combined with a previously launched pile-based floating PV system, it forms Sinopec's largest water-surface solar power station to date.
KUQA, China, Aug. 31, 2023 – China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (HKG: 0386, "Sinopec") completed the construction of the Sinopec Xinjiang Kuqa Green Hydrogen Pilot Project (the "Project"), China's largest photovoltaic green hydrogen production project lately.

The current floating PV project plays a central role in enabling solar-powered hydrogen generation, forming an essential part of Sinopec''s renewable energy industrial chain. Looking ahead, the
In the field of green hydrogen refining, Sinopec has been vigorously advancing centralized wind power and photovoltaic development, laying out mega-scale projects integrating renewable energy power
Sinopec said the project design reduces the distance between panels and the water surface to around one-tenth of that in conventional pile-based configurations. The proximity allows for
Spearheaded by Sinopec''s New Star Company, the mega project is the largest solar-to-hydrogen project in the world and the first of its kind in China that is equipped with a photovoltaic power generation
Sinopec has expanded a floating solar array at its Qingdao Refinery, aiming to cut the cost of green hydrogen with on-site renewable energy.
The "solar + tea garden" model, which combines photovoltaic solar panels with tea cultivation, is part of the company''s strategy to boost sustainable energy solutions while enhancing
Meanwhile, the 30,000-tonne/year integrated wind/solar-green hydrogen project in Ordos further progressed. Sinopec remained the world''s largest operator of hydrogen refueling stations, with 142
Sinopec has started operating China''s first commercial floating offshore solar plant. It developed the 7.5 MW facility with support from Shandong province and the municipality of Qingdao.
The race to decarbonize global energy systems has thrust green hydrogen into the spotlight as a critical fuel for industries, transportation, and power generation. China, the world''s
