It innovatively constructs an integrated and coordinated operation system of "pressure energy - electric energy - cold energy - computing power", achieving the deep integration of electric energy, cold energy, and computing power generated by natural gas differential pressure power generation. It can provide important support for the development of "Artificial Intelligence +" applications, reaching the leading level in the industry and filling the domestic gap in related technology fields. Compared with traditional commercial data centers, it no longer relies on fossil energy for power generation, achieving "zero - carbon" operation. After the project is put into operation, the annual power generation will exceed 1.5 million kilowatt - hours, and the annual electricity cost savings will exceed 1.2 million yuan [23]. 3.3.2 China Successfully Developed the First 110 - Kilowatt - Class Thermally Coupled Direct Seawater Electrolysis Hydrogen Production System Device - The "Thermally Coupled Direct Seawater Electrolysis Hydrogen Production" achievement press conference was held in Rizhao, Shandong on December 6th. China has successfully developed the first 110 - kilowatt - class thermally coupled direct seawater electrolysis hydrogen production system device, which has achieved continuous and stable operation for more than 500 hours, marking a key breakthrough from the laboratory to engineering application in the field of direct seawater electrolysis hydrogen production. This device solves the problem that traditional green hydrogen must rely on high - purity fresh water and provides a more efficient and low - cost solution for future seawater hydrogen production and other water electrolysis hydrogen production processes [24].
