The program included industrial training sessions on the morning of October 31 and November 1, and field research visits on the afternoon of October 31 and November 1. Four senior experts from institutions and companies such as SIHET, Honghua Gas, CIMC Power, and Zhongke Fuhai delivered lectures.
Zhang Zhen, Executive Dean of the China EV100 Low Carbon Integrated Development Institute and President of SIHET, delivered a lecture titled Opportunities and Prospects for China’s Green Fuel Industry. The course highlighted the significance of green fuels for the shipping and aviation industries, emphasizing their role as critical pathways for renewable energy utilization. It also analyzed technical routes, application prospects, and challenges in the green fuel sector.
Dr. Zhou Shanke, Director of the Green Fuel Research Center at Honghua Energy Research Institute, presented Case Study: China’s First ISCC-Certified Green Methanol Project. He shared the development journey and research roadmap of Honghua Energy Research Institute, provided an overview of global and domestic green methanol trends, detailed Huasheng Gas’s technological advancements in green methanol production, and discussed future demand projections。
Lü Guo’ai, Executive Deputy General Manager of CIMC Power and Director of CIMC Green Hydrogen Research Institute, lectured on High-Efficiency Hydrogen Production Solutions Adapting to Wind-Solar Fluctuations. The session covered low-load operation challenges of alkaline electrolyzers, root causes, and CIMC’s solutions for "low-load hydrogen production" and "off-grid hydrogen production."
Shi Huawei, General Manager of Green Energy Development Center at Zhongke Fuhai Group, delivered Liquid Hydrogen Storage, Transportation, and Refueling Technologies for Scaling Hydrogen Industry Development. He systematically introduced domestic and international liquid hydrogen industry advancements, including hydrogen liquefaction, cryogenic storage tanks, liquid hydrogen transfer, and integrated gas-liquid refueling stations. Case studies included Zhongke Fuhai’s involvement in China National Offshore Oil Corporation’s (CNOOC) international long-distance transoceanic liquid hydrogen transport demonstration project.
Field Research Visits
On the afternoons of October 31 and November 1, participants visited:
Zhongke Fuhai (Zhongshan) Cryogenic Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
On October 31, the first stop was Zhongke Fuhai, where Chairman Zhu Cheng welcomed participants. Zhongke Fuhai, a state-owned enterprise under the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Physics, specializes in large-scale cryogenic engineering equipment, integrating design, manufacturing, and system integration. It is a leader in domestically developed cryogenic refrigeration equipment and industrial gas supply.
Guangdong Jiancheng Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd.
On October 31, the second stop was Guangdong Jiancheng, a mechanical manufacturer certified to design and produce Class I, II, III pressure vessels and ASME U/U2-certified mobile tanks. Its products include LNG storage and transportation equipment, cryogenic liquid storage systems, and liquefied gas transport solutions.
Hanshan (Kaiping) Solid Waste Treatment Co., Ltd.
On November 1, participants visited Hanshan (Kaiping), where General Manager Yang Mao Sheng guided them through its environmental science exhibition hall, control rooms, and crane operation centers. The company utilizes municipal solid waste incineration for power generation, with steam byproducts driving sludge drying and high-temperature animal waste treatment. Biogas generated from food waste and dried sludge is used for energy recovery, significantly improving cost and efficiency.
After two days of training and field visits, Session 4 of the Green Energy and Corporate Low-Carbon Transformation Capacity Building Program concluded successfully. All participants received certificates of completion.
Feedback highlighted the program’s effectiveness in deepening understanding of green fuels, expanding professional expertise, and fostering collaboration. Participants praised the integration of expert lectures and practical site visits, which addressed long-standing industry challenges and provided actionable insights. The program also facilitated partnerships among professionals from diverse sectors, offering opportunities to explore strategies for green low-carbon development.
The event received strong support from the Kaiping Municipal Government. Held in Chikan Overseas Chinese Ancient Town, Kaiping, it featured discussions between participants and local leaders, including Chen Xiaoman, Deputy Secretary of the Kaiping Municipal Party Committee and Mayor, and Yu Wenfeng, Member of the Standing Committee and Vice Mayor. The city aims to leverage the program to attract investment, promote hydrogen energy projects, and advance high-quality industrial growth in Kaiping.
