On June 3, CCTV News broadcast focused on Shenzhen's scientific and technological innovation and led industrial innovation, especially reporting the successful landing of the world's first seawater hydrogen production plant with the largest single capacity in Shenzhen Energy Group.

The Marine hydrogen Energy Research and Development Center of the Research Institute of Tsinghua University in Shenzhen, in cooperation with Shenzhen Energy Group, has successfully applied the technology of hydrogen production from seawater, which fills the gap in the world, to the actual industry. This technological breakthrough not only marks China's important progress in the field of marine renewable energy, but also provides strong support for the large-scale application of hydrogen energy in the world.

The 500 kilowatt hydrogen production equipment by electrolysis of seawater has been formally demonstrated in Mawan Power Plant of Shenzhen Energy Group. the project began installation and commissioning in November 2023, and the hydrogen production capacity can reach 100 standard square meters per hour after operation. As the largest single unit in the world and the first 100-standard demonstration project of hydrogen production by electrolysis of seawater, it is of great significance for the in-situ consumption of renewable energy such as offshore wind power.

The successful application of hydrogen production technology from seawater can not only make effective use of the rich marine resources in China, reduce the dependence on fresh water, but also improve the efficiency of hydrogen production, reduce the cost, and form a new hydrogen production technology with independent intellectual property rights. This technology is not only suitable for hydrogen production from marine renewable energy, but also can be extended to the fields of hydrogen production with high salt content, such as saline-alkali / salt lake water, mine water, oil and gas field produced water, etc., which provides the possibility for the wide application of hydrogen energy industry.
