Recently, the "2026 China Offshore New Energy Innovation and Development Forum" was successfully held in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. The Offshore Engineering Technology Center of China Classification Society(CCS) was invited to participate, during which Liang Tongxin from the New Facilities Department delivered a keynote speech titled "Offshore Hydrogen Production Empowers Future Offshore Zero-Carbon Development."

In his speech, Liang Tongxin, based on the current landscape of China's offshore renewable energy industry , highlighting the pivotal role of offshore hydrogen production in addressing deep-sea wind power usage challenges and establishing a closed-loop industrial chain for "green electricity-hydrogen-zero-carbon applications." Drawing on technical specifications from CCS's Guidelines for Offshore Hydrogen Production Facilities (2025), he systematically elaborated on guideline requirements for critical aspects including facility layout, structural integrity, process systems, and fire/explosion prevention. Through representative cases such as integrated ocean wind-hydrogen-storage projects, he shared practical CCS expertise in ensuring end-to-end safety throughout offshore hydrogen production processes.

This forum closely aligns with the national strategy for building a maritime power and the "dual carbon" goals, bringing together representatives from the entire industrial chain including domestic and international power groups, energy investors, equipment manufacturers, and design research institutes. Participants explored intensive development of offshore renewable energy and the establishment of a modern offshore industrial system, achieving multiple collaborative agreements on-site.

As a premier event in the offshore renewable energy sector, this forum brings together industry expertise and focuses on cutting-edge developments, creating a high-quality platform for efficient dialogue, in-depth exchanges, mutual learning, and collaborative innovation. During the conference, CCS engaged in thorough discussions with participating enterprises on topics including offshore hydrogen production equipment R&D, standard system optimization, and industrial chain coordination. Experts unanimously praised the guiding role of the "Offshore Hydrogen Production Facilities Guide" first released by CCS last year, expressing strong willingness to strengthen technical cooperation and share practical experience. The goal is to jointly advance the application of offshore hydrogen production technology in scenarios such as marine decarbonization and ship fuel alternatives.

In the future, the Offshore Engineering Technology Center will continue to focus on cutting-edge fields such as offshore hydrogen production industrial chains and floating energy systems, continuously improve the standardization framework, and provide technical support and services with robust professional capabilities. This will facilitate the high-quality development of China's deep-sea clean energy industry and contribute wisdom and demonstrate commitment to achieving the "dual carbon" goals.
