Entering the Phase II production and manufacturing center of Zhongtian Huahydrogen Co., Ltd. in Rudong Economic Development Zone, two alkaline electrolyzer production lines are operating at high speed. As the core production base of Zhongtian Technology Group's layout in the hydrogen energy industry, the alkaline electrolyzers produced here are core equipment in the green hydrogen preparation process, adaptable to hydrogen production demands in different scenarios, with an annual production capacity of up to 1 gigawatt.

Huang Bin, General Manager of Zhongtian Huahydrogen, introduced, "The new factory was officially put into operation in August this year. Currently, both production lines have reached industry-leading performance parameters." Leveraging the original technology source advantages of the Beijing Low Carbon Clean Energy Research Institute, the company's 1000 standard cubic meter low-power alkaline electrolyzers and 35MPa high-flow hydrogen refueling machines have obtained the first-set certification in the energy industry and have been validated in multiple projects both domestically and internationally.

Industrial development is not an isolated 'solo advance.' Targeting the downstream hydrogen energy industry chain, Rudong has introduced the CIMC green methanol project, planning an investment of 2.5 billion yuan. Once completed, it will have an annual production capacity of 300,000 tons of green methanol, achieving a value closed loop from 'green hydrogen' to 'green fuel.' Currently, the project has completed sample testing and is being accelerated.

While securing a position in the hydrogen energy sector, Rudong is also turning its attention to the AI field. Leveraging abundant green electricity resources and LNG cold energy advantages, it plans to build the Yangtze River Delta Green Smart Computing Industrial Park and accelerate the layout of a 'green electricity, cold energy, and computing power' coordinated system. The China Telecom Yangtze River Delta Computing Hub Project, with a total investment of 30 billion yuan, has completed the overall site design; the 6 billion yuan iCenturyLink Green Smart Computing (Token Factory) project’s foreign-funded company has completed registration and plans to start construction in the first half of next year. To ensure that the green smart computing cluster has stable and economical clean cold energy, Rudong is simultaneously advancing the PetroChina light hydrocarbon separation project. This project, invested and constructed by the PetroChina Natural Gas Sales Branch, plans to build three 3.3 million tons/year light hydrocarbon separation units, two 3,000 cubic meter liquefied gas sphere tanks, one 20,000 cubic meter dual-metal ethane full-containment tank with supporting public facilities, and a specialized cooling exchange center to uniformly collect and centrally deliver the cold energy released during LNG gasification, effectively reducing the data center PUE value.

Focusing on the three leading industries of renewable energy, new materials, and new equipment, the city concentrates on missing links in the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain and key supporting demands, carrying out six major actions: attracting high-quality and strong enterprises, establishing on-site deep cultivation, gathering chain leaders to strengthen the chain, creating a presence everywhere, tackling foreign investment, and improving the quality of existing businesses. This forms a multi-point blossoming and特色发展（特色发展 could be translated as 'characteristic development' or 'specialized development') industrial investment promotion pattern, injecting strong momentum into the high-quality development of hydrogen energy and green industries at the county level.
