據烴加工新聞5月19日消息稱，隨著市場的蓬勃發展，兩家公司已達成戰略合作伙伴關系協議，在日本開發通用電氣的Haliade-X海上風力渦輪機的本地制造。

　　兩家公司表示，該協議將幫助通用電氣的海上風力技術在日本即將舉行的拍賣中更具競爭力。兩家公司表示，作為協議的一部分，他們將利用他們的集體技術、制造設施和技能、建設、運營和維護專業知識。

　　作為到2050年實現碳中和的綠色增長戰略的一部分，日本政府計劃到2030年以每年1吉瓦的招標來授予10吉瓦的海上風力發電能力。

　　該計劃要求到2040年安裝30至45吉瓦的海上風機，包括浮動式海上風力渦輪機，部分途徑是通過發展具有競爭力的國內供應鏈來實現的。

　　亞洲的海上風電市場預計將在未來5至10年經歷大規模擴張，特別是在日本和韓國等較為發達的經濟體，因為政府面臨越來越多的壓力，要求它們關注氣候變化、可再生能源，并實現凈零排放目標。

　　GE and Toshiba team up to tap Japanese offshore wind

　　The companies have made a strategic partnership agreement to develop local manufacturing of GE’s Haliade-X offshore wind turbine in Japan as the market is set to boom.

　　The pair said the agreement will help GE’s offshore wind technology become more competitive in the upcoming auctions in Japan. The 2 companies said that they will leverage their collective technology, manufacturing facilities and skills, construction, operation, and maintenance expertise as part of the pact.

　　As part of its green growth strategy for becoming carbon neutral by 2050 the Japanese government plans to award 10 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030 with tenders of 1 GW per year.

　　The plan calls for installing 30 to 45 GW of offshore wind turbines, including floating offshore wind turbines, by 2040, in part through the development of a competitive domestic supply chain.

　　The offshore wind market in Asia is expected to experience massive expansion over the next 5 to 10 years, particularly in the more advanced economies of Japan and South Korea, as governments face increasing pressure to focus on climate change, renewable energy sources, and hit their net-zero emissions targets.
