Guangdong is willing to work together with all parties to fully leverage the advantages and potential of the sea, promote high-quality development of the blue economy, deep integration of marine culture, and continuous improvement of marine ecology. Looking at the data - the installed capacity of offshore wind power has jumped to the top in the country. The ocean is a strategic location for high-quality development, and a developed marine economy is an important support for building a maritime power. The Third Plenary Session of the 13th Guangdong Provincial Party Committee has made specific arrangements for the "1310" initiative, making the comprehensive promotion of building a strong maritime province one of the "Ten New Breakthroughs" that the province aims to achieve. In 2024, Guangdong's total marine production value will exceed 2 trillion yuan, and the added value of traditional advantageous marine industries will exceed 680 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 7.5%. The added value of emerging marine industries reached 41.1 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 8.3%. The marine energy industry, represented by offshore wind power, is thriving. The cumulative installed capacity of offshore wind power is 12.51 million kilowatts, a tenfold increase from the end of the 13th Five Year Plan period, ranking first in the country. An offshore wind power industry chain integrating wind power research and development, manufacturing, installation, operation and maintenance, and testing has been established, and the industry development has reached the leading level in the country. CGN has built an offshore wind power installed capacity of 5 million kilowatts. Gao Ligang, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and General Manager of CGN Group, stated that CGN has completed the first offshore wind power project exceeding one million kilowatts in eastern Guangdong and the first one million kilowatt offshore wind power project in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area. It has also created the "Fuxi No.1" wind fishing integration platform and jointly built the Honghai Bay Laboratory with Shanwei City. A number of scientific research achievements have been continuously transformed into practical productivity, laying a solid technical foundation for the development of marine energy. Looking for innovation - building a number of national level energy research and development innovation platforms. Guangdong adheres to the strategy of innovation driven development, strengthens energy technology collaborative innovation, and builds a number of national level energy research and development innovation platforms. Collaborative development and deep integration of industry, academia, and research, promoting the formation of new quality productive forces. In the field of offshore wind power, a number of pioneering technological achievements such as the CGN Yangjiang 500 kV offshore wind power reactive power compensation station, the Southern Power Grid Sanshan Island offshore wind power flexible direct transmission project, and the Mingyang Smart Energy Group's "Mingyang Tiancheng" dual rotor floating offshore wind power platform have landed in Guangdong, leading Guangdong's offshore wind power industry to continuously climb the industry peak. In the field of deep-sea oil and gas development, China's first comprehensive green design Wushi Oilfield Group has achieved multiple green practices such as six station integrated green treatment technology and zero discharge of production water. The first offshore CCUS project in China has been put into operation in the Enping Oilfield Group, creating a new model of ocean energy recycling that uses carbon to drive oil and oil to fix carbon. In the field of offshore equipment, the world's first 11000 meter ultra deep water drilling vessel, the "Dream", has been commissioned in Guangzhou. The 3000 square meter shipborne laboratory is nurturing infinite possibilities for deep-sea resource development, marking China's independent establishment of a technology system for ultra deep water drilling equipment. The development of the world's first megawatt level floating wave energy generation device, the Nankun, is at the forefront of ocean wave energy generation technology. In the field of hydrogen energy, the Guishan Offshore Wind Power Industrial Hydrogen Production Demonstration Project in Zhuhai relies on offshore wind power platforms to explore collaborative technologies between offshore wind power, seawater desalination, and electrolytic hydrogen production. The world's largest single unit scale electrolytic seawater hydrogen production demonstration project is being implemented in Shenzhen, promoting significant breakthroughs in electrolytic seawater hydrogen production technology in Guangdong. Looking to the future - the "energy+" model continues to expand new boundaries. Guangdong insists on both development and protection, actively exploring new paths for the integrated development of marine energy. It is reported that the world's largest single anti typhoon wind fishing integrated net cage platform, "Fuxi No.1" in Shanwei City, has been completed and the first batch of fish fry has been released. The world's first semi submersible wave energy aquaculture platform, "Penghu No.1", has been continuously demonstrating and operating for six years. These benchmark projects, together with "Zhanjiang Bay No.1", "Hengyi No.1", "Haiwei No.2" and "Mingyu No.1", form a brilliant matrix of "Guangdong Sea Granary". Guangdong has established an industrial chain that integrates wind, fishing, tourism, and new formats and models. These innovative models not only extend the integrated development axis of "energy aquaculture cold chain cultural tourism", but also give birth to a green energy industry chain of "wind power hydrogen production methanol shipping", demonstrating the powerful driving force of "chain thinking" to reconstruct the marine industry ecology. Zhang Zhiwu, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of China General Nuclear Power New Energy Holdings Co., Ltd., stated that China General Nuclear Power New Energy is actively participating in the innovative exploration of "energy+" in the offshore industry. Guided by the concept of coordinated development, it has personally practiced and carried out exploration of three offshore energy integration models, including wind fishing integration, nuclear wind solar integration, and comprehensive energy island, tailored to local conditions, providing new solutions for the development of China's and even the world's marine economy. At the meeting, China General Nuclear Power New Energy Holdings Co., Ltd. and Shenzhen Port Group Co., Ltd. signed a strategic cooperation project on "Green Ship Combustion Production, Supply and Marketing Integration", Guangdong Electric Power Co., Ltd. of State Power Investment Corporation and Academician Xie Heping's team signed a key technology research project on "The first set of in-situ hydrogen production from seawater driven by offshore wind power at megawatt level", China Resources Power Holdings Co., Ltd. signed a contract with CIMC Jiguang Ocean Technology Co., Ltd. on "Typhoon resistant megawatt level offshore floating photovoltaic demonstration project", and the conference also launched the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area Green Ship Combustion Industry Innovation Alliance.
