Economic Watch: CISCE, where China’s clean energy supply chain enables world’s green dream

BEIJING, June 26 — Inside the clean energy pavilion at the fourth China International Supply Chain Expo (CISCE) in Beijing, a towering cylindrical display offers a striking vision of the future: offshore oil extraction equipment coexisting harmoniously with marine life.

Hosted by China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC), the booth signals a profound shift for the world’s largest energy producer. Traditional fossil fuels, the display suggests, are no longer synonymous with high carbon emissions and environmental degradation.

CNOOC’s president Huang Yongzhang emphasized that low-carbon development is now a global consensus, underscoring the company’s commitment to collaborating with international partners across the value chain to drive this transformation.

The company’s green transition reflects a broader shift across China’s energy sector toward tech-driven, eco-friendly growth.
