A growing number of countries are releasing national strategies to support the hydrogen energy industry, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). But the IEA also noted that the lack of clarity about certification and regulation is one of the barriers to making firm investment decisions. However, the agency listed China as a highlight that has “taken the lead in deployment.” China’s first national-level construction guideline for the standards of the […]

China overtakes France to become world’s second-largest nuclear energy producer. China recently approved the construction of six more nuclear reactors, cementing its status as the world’s fastest-growing nuclear power producer. Despite only starting to develop the technology in the mid-1980s, decades later than some other major economies, China is expected to have the world’s largest nuclear fleet by 2030. Electricity generation from nuclear power plants has already increased nearly fourfold in the […]

The development of the China’s offshore renewable energy made a leap forward in mid-June 2023 as the country’s first independently developed megawatt-scale floating wave energy generation device “Nankun” began trial operations in Zhuhai, Guangdong province. The event signals the application of China’s cutting-edge megawatt-scale wave energy generation technology in practical engineering, injecting fresh impetus into the country’s offshore new energy development, experts said. According to China Southern Power Grid, the device’s […]
