ASIA MARINE ENERGY INDUSTRY EXPO (AMEE)

FAIR INTRODUCTION

Marine development strategies have become a key priority for countries worldwide and a focus of global governance. As a major driver of the global energy transition and a vital support for national resource security, marine energy development directly impacts strategic control of ocean resources and energy supply resilience. It plays a crucial role in addressing global resource challenges, achieving carbon neutrality goals and expanding human development opportunities. By 2030, the global marine economy covering offshore oil & gas, offshore wind power, marine photovoltaics, ocean hydrogen energy and seawater desalination is expected to exceed USD 3 trillion.

With over 2 million square kilometres of jurisdictional waters in the South China Sea, Hainan serves as a key region for China’s ultra-deepwater oil and gas resources, an offshore new energy demonstration zone and a multi-energy integrated island pilot base. Supported by Hainan Free Trade Port policies, including zero tariffs, cross-border investment facilitation and streamlined import and export procedures, Hainan is devel-oping a comprehensive marine energy ecosystem featuring deep-sea oil and gas, offshore wind power, marine green hydrogen, offshore photovoltaics, seawater desali-nation and tidal/wave energy solutions.
