At the World Future Energy Summit 2025 held in Abu Dhabi from January 14 to 16, Shanghai Electric made significant strides in promoting sustainable energy solutions. The showcase featured advanced technologies aimed at addressing global energy challenges and environmental concerns. Among the notable innovations presented was the Bristack-Z1000 alkaline electrolyzer, known for its efficient energy use and rapid response capabilities. This system operates with a lower energy consumption rate—12% less than industry standards—while maintaining high output and reliability. The technology has been certified by TÜV Rheinland, assuring its quality and effectiveness in the field of green hydrogen production.
In addition to hydrogen technologies, Shanghai Electric demonstrated its sustainable formaldehyde production methods, which utilize pressurized oxygen gasification and high-temperature tar conversion. This approach not only enhances energy efficiency and reliability but also integrates renewable energy sources like wind and solar to significantly reduce carbon emissions, steering the production process toward a more sustainable future.
The company's Creator 210R heterojunction photovoltaic module also gained attention, boasting exceptional efficiency and bifaciality. This next-generation solar panel utilizes an innovative silicon wafer structure designed to capture light even under suboptimal conditions, ensuring maximum energy consumption alongside smart photovoltaic tracking systems.
Shanghai Electric further showcased its contributions to global renewable energy projects, including the Peñasco photovoltaic plant in Mexico and the Dubai solar project equipped with wireless heliostat technology. The company's 100 MW/100 MWh REP12 energy storage station in the UK was highlighted as a significant step toward enhancing energy flexibility in the grid.
A focus of their presentation was the high-inertia synchronous condenser equipped with a flywheel. This technology is the first of its kind in China, designed to improve network flexibility by balancing energy supply and demand, ultimately ensuring the stability of power systems. With a kinetic energy capacity of 140 MW/s and an inertia time constant of 11.2 seconds, it provides quick responses and short-term capabilities essential for modern energy grids.
Shanghai Electric is also addressing water scarcity issues in the Middle East and North Africa through its third-generation desalination technology, which incorporates thermal film coupling methods. This innovation enhances heat transfer efficiency, minimizes energy consumption to less than 2 kWh per ton of produced fresh water, and achieves an annual utilization rate exceeding 95%. This technology is vital for supporting sustainable development in coastal regions, supplying industrial complexes, and expanding the scope of water resources through eco-friendly solutions.
By presenting these state-of-the-art technologies at the World Future Energy Summit, Shanghai Electric reiterated its commitment to fostering green energy and sustainable development practices globally. Their motto, 'Create Our Future Together,' aligns with their goal of facilitating a global energy transformation, demonstrating that practical, certificable solutions are critical for a greener planet.
