Aiming to put into practice the concept that “lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets” through technological innovation, Huanghua Port focuses on big data-driven environmental governance, which allows for intelligent and precise management of environmental elements such as dust and water source in the port area.

The company independently developed a series of key technologies such as essential long-lasting dust suppression system and belt washing device to control coal dust from the source, constructed an ecological water system covering two lakes and three wetlands to realize zero discharge of coal-bearing wastewater to the sea, implemented shore power projects across all terminals to construct a zero-carbon port, and launched photovoltaic power generation and green hydrogen development projects in collaboration with specialized units to widen the application of new energy in the coal port.

In recent years, the company has scored remarkable achievements in green port construction. In 2019, it ranked first among the 22 Chinese major coastal ports in green safety assessment, becoming the country’s first coal port to be awarded as an AAA industrial tourism destination. Apart from this, it has won many other honors including “Asia-Pacific Green Port” and “China Environmental Excellence Award,” setting a new model for the implementation of green port standards and providing green and intelligent technical solutions and practical experience for the coal port industry.
