Zhejiang releases guidelines for the development of marine clean energy industry, aiming to exceed 300 billion yuan in industry scale by 2030

China News Service, Wenzhou, September 23 (Bao Mengni) On September 23, Zhejiang's marine clean energy industry and technology docking exchange event was held in Wenzhou, and the "Zhejiang Province's Marine Clean Energy Industry Development Guidelines" (hereinafter referred to as the "Guidelines") were released on the spot.

The "Guidelines" propose that Zhejiang aims to have the scale of the province's marine clean energy and equipment industry exceed 300 billion yuan by 2030, the installed capacity of offshore wind power to exceed 10 million kilowatts, and the establishment of a 10-million-kilowatt offshore wind power base and a wind power home port. Ideal projects have been put into operation, tidal currents can be commercialized at hundreds of megawatts, offshore photovoltaics have been developed contiguously with "scenery and photovoltaic on the same site", the green hydrogen ammonia alcohol industry has begun to take shape, and more than 50 leading enterprises and specialized new enterprises in the field of marine clean energy have been cultivated.

It is reported that the marine clean energy industry is a strategic emerging industry driven by the development of marine energy resources such as offshore wind power, offshore photovoltaic, ocean energy, and coastal nuclear power, covering equipment manufacturing, engineering services, operation and maintenance management, and consumption applications.

Taking the strengthening of the entire offshore wind power industry chain as an example, Zhejiang will focus on promoting the research and development of large-scale, lightweight and typhoon-resistant offshore wind turbines to improve the safe operation and long-term reliability of large-megawatt units in complex sea conditions such as typhoons and strong waves. It will also strengthen the research and development of floating wind power technology to improve the stability of floating foundations, deep-water mooring reliability and dynamic submarine cables. Durability; improve ultra-long-distance, ultra-high-voltage flexible DC transmission technology to improve the long-distance transmission efficiency and stable operation capabilities of deep-sea wind power; strengthen the research and development of long-term anti-corrosion and anti-fouling in the marine environment, equipment status monitoring, fault diagnosis, digital twins, drone and robot inspections, and replacement of large parts to improve the level of intelligent operation and maintenance of deep-sea wind power.
