“Shenhai Hydrogen Energy No.1” Launches, World’s First Floating Offshore Wind-to-Hydrogen Demonstration Platform Under Construction

According to information released by Shanghai State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission on November 3, 2026, the launching ceremony for “Shenhai Hydrogen Energy No.1”, the platform of the world’s first comprehensive demonstration project for floating offshore wind power hydrogen production, was held at Yamen Waterway in Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province.

Promoted by Shenergy Group, the project relies on the Shenergy Hainan CZ2 Project to build an integrated application verification chain covering offshore wind power hydrogen production, hydrogen storage and methanol production. As China’s first comprehensive offshore hydrogen production platform to complete full-process inspection in accordance with the *Guidelines for Offshore Hydrogen Production Facilities*, “Shenhai Hydrogen Energy No.1” supports the establishment of a zero-carbon energy system featuring the whole chain of “wind-power-hydrogen-storage-chemicals”, and carries out tests related to the large-scale production and storage of green hydrogen and green methanol.

Subject to continuous wind and wave disturbances, floating platforms impose high requirements on the adaptability of complete sets of equipment and multi-system collaborative control. The platform conducts engineering verification for offshore green power conversion under floating operating conditions to test the operational stability and coordination capacity of the full set of equipment under complex sea conditions. Bringing together entities including Shenergy Hainan New Energy, Zhejiang Blue Energy and Hydorgen, the project collaborates with industrial partners to explore the industrialization path for floating offshore wind power hydrogen and methanol production.

Shenergy Group will arrange subsequent commissioning, offshore deployment and demonstration operation of the platform, and verify the reliability of the integrated technical route in real marine environments.
