China launches world’s first 100kW bamboo-built floating solar farm off Shandong coast
The experimental platform is part of a broader push to replace steel and plastic components with more environmentally friendly materials
It will supply power to an integrated hydrogen, ammonia and methanol production project, manufacturer Yantai CIMC Raffles Ocean Technology Group announced in late June.
“Compared to conventional steel or [high-density polythene] structures, the bamboo-based design significantly reduces marine environmental impact,” CIMC Raffles said.
The new platform builds upon an earlier 10kW prototype called Jilin-1 from 2023.
Jilin-2 was developed by the CIMC Offshore Engineering Research Institute, CIMC Raffles’ research arm, as well as China Forestry Group Corporation and Beijing Forestry University.
