Surprised at using hydrogen in steel fabrication with the risk of hydrogen embrittlement. Maybe only in the early purification steps and they remove it later.

Massive flooding due to broken levee in California just south of Silicon Valley.

Onshore wind turbine awards for this week. Interesting the wind power developers for these projects. PetroChina is getting wind power for its Daqing oil fields.
Other developers are Huadian in various places
CGNPG, CR Group and CEIC developing Hunan and Northern China.
Looks like Goldwind got most of these bids followed by MingYang, CRRC and Dongfang.
What you see here is that all the major conglomerates for other energy resources are now getting in on wind/solar power projects as these projects are expanding far faster than fossil fuel and nuclear projects.
CNNC, one of China's largest nuclear power operators, has unveiled its largest-ever annual investment plan on nuclear power&new energy worth 80 bln yuan (about $11.6 bln), up nearly 60% YoY. CNNC has set its annual electricity generation goal in 2023 at 205 billion kWh...
The hydrogen conference is this week and I'm pretty sure they are going to drastically raise the projected Green H2 totals
CEEC signed two major projects with Jilian province
First one will have 10.5B RMB investment in phase one (29.6B RMB in total) to have 800MW of wind power & 100MW of solar and electrolysis equipment that can produce 45k hydrogen a year, 200k t of synthetic ammonia and 20k t of green methanol
Another major project with total 14B RMB ov investment for 2 pumped hydro projects -> 1.2GW of stored capacity here.
CEEC is quite involved a lot of oversea's project. Here, it has 2 major projects in Uzebekistan. 1 for 800MW wind and 1 for 400MW solar

Longi's new Shaanxi plant will start production in Q3 2024 and reach full production of 100GW solar wafers in 2025
Sinopec is establishing a new company for new energy sources called 中化新能源
At the same time, it's visiting Longi to cooperate further on solar and green H2. Looks like the two are going to be strong partners here. Keep in mind that you need companies that produce PVs/wind turbines and electrolyzer. You also need companies that take on the task of putting this in the field. Sinopec with their political connection and extensive hydrogen and energy needs are a strong partner to have here. Of course, there are other similar players like SPIC and CEEC and PetroChina also being involved in various projects.

They are building the first wind/solar/thermal/energy storage cluster in Gansu along with 800 kV HVF transmission of electricity to Shandong. It should delivered 36 billion Wh of electricity a year. The energy storage will be provided by a pump hydro station. This is expected to be complete by 2025.

Back in 2022, MingYang unveiled the largest electrlyzer at 2500 nm3/hr
it reached power usage of 3.87/Nm3, which would basically be the most advanced electrolyzer, even better than Longi and over 90% efficiency
Looks like its wind power order book is fully booked. Still looking to develop PVs, ESS and hydrogen technology.
