FUZHOU: China’s push to reach carbon neutrality by 2060 has drawn increased attention to wind power as industry experts said moving wind farms to deeper waters could eliminate some challenges to offshore wind power and help expand the fleet of turbines.

A new plant operated by LM Wind Power, a Danish wind turbine blade manufacturer, is located in East China’s Fujian province. The company is manufacturing 107-meter blades, which are among the longest blades worldwide, for the plant.
