Shanghai Electric Unveils Advanced Green Technologies at 2025 World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates, Jan. 19, 2025 — Shanghai Electric (SEHK:2727, SSE:601727) made a significant impact at the World Future Energy Summit held in Abu Dhabi from January 14 to 16, 2025. The company showcased its cutting-edge sustainable development technologies and green solutions, emphasizing its role in driving the global transition to clean energy. The summit, themed Create Our Future Together, allowed Shanghai Electric to highlight its innovative efforts in green energy and resource utilization.
Shanghai Electric presented several groundbreaking solutions, including advancements in green hydrogen, sustainable formaldehyde production, photovoltaic technologies, multi-energy storage systems, and seawater desalination. These innovations offer practical, actionable solutions for achieving a greener and more sustainable planet.
Green Hydrogen Innovation Shanghai Electric unveiled its Bristack-Z1000 alkaline electrolyzer, a breakthrough in green hydrogen production. This system offers low power consumption, high electrical density, and rapid response, operating with a DC current consumption 12% lower than industry standards at 2500 A/m2. Certified by TÜV Rheinland, the electrolyzer’s flexible support and efficient gas-to-liquid transfer highlight its potential in green hydrogen applications.
Sustainable Formaldehyde Production The company introduced an energy-efficient formaldehyde production technology that integrates pure oxygen pressure gasification, fluidized bed gasification, and high-temperature tar conversion. By utilizing intermittent wind and solar energy, this system significantly reduces carbon emissions, offering a more sustainable and reliable production process.
Next-Generation Photovoltaics Shanghai Electric showcased its Creator 210R series heterojunction photovoltaic modules, featuring high efficiency, low temperature coefficients, and birefringence. The panels utilize a next-generation monocrystalline structure, overcoming traditional efficiency barriers and capturing light in low-light environments. Paired with smart tracking photovoltaic mounts, the modules maximize energy capture, improving performance. The company also presented other key technologies, including solar energy projects in Mexico and Dubai, and the 100MW/100MWh energy storage station in the UK.
Advanced Energy Storage Solutions The company also highlighted its high-inertia synchronous capacitor with flywheel technology, the first Chinese phase-shifting energy storage product to be exported for commercial and residential use. This energy storage system enhances grid flexibility, balancing supply and demand for reliable power system stability. Shanghai Electric’s expertise extends to energy storage batteries, smart control systems, and lifecycle solutions, providing maximum customer value through long-term energy storage and home appliance integration.
Desalination Technology for Water Scarcity Shanghai Electric addressed the growing water scarcity issues in the Middle East and North Africa with its third-generation desalination technology. This system integrates thermal bonding and membrane methods to increase heat transfer efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and minimize land usage. The desalination technology can produce large volumes of fresh water daily, consuming less than 2 kWh per ton of water, and has an annual utilization rate exceeding 95%.
These innovations from Shanghai Electric offer sustainable solutions to some of the world’s most pressing challenges, from clean energy production to water scarcity, positioning the company as a leader in driving the global energy transformation.
