Houpu Clean Energy Group (Shenzhen: 300471) showcased its latest hydrogen innovations at CIHC 2026, highlighting a full‑stack portfolio that spans engineering EPC, integrated production‑refueling stations, solid‑state hydrogen storage, core components with 90% local sourcing, and AI‑powered smart operations.

Speaking with Hydrogen Observer, Zou Jianhua, Assistant to the General Manager of Houpu, said: “The hydrogen industry in China is on a clear growth track. With the 15th Five‑Year Plan and the second batch of national hydrogen pilots rolling out, we expect explosive growth in hydrogen mobility over the next five years. Houpu has already built the capabilities to lead that expansion.”

Home‑Grown Technology, Ready for Real‑World Scenarios

Houpu’s self‑developed product line covers the entire hydrogen value chain – production, storage, refueling, and end‑use – serving hydrogen mobility, energy storage, and industrial applications. The company’s integrated “engineering + equipment + service” model now achieves nearly 90% localization for core hydrogen refueling components, ensuring supply chain resilience and cost efficiency.

Two new solutions debuted at the show:

•Integrated on‑site hydrogen production and refueling skid – Enables fast deployment at logistics parks, highway service areas, ports, and zero‑carbon industrial zones. It lowers upfront investment and solves hydrogen logistics bottlenecks by producing fuel where it is needed.

•Hydro‑powered e‑bike with solid‑state storage – Safe, low‑decay, and fast to refill. Ideal for shared mobility, campus shuttles, and tourist sites. Houpu now offers full service from hydrogen production, storage, and refueling to vehicle assembly and fleet operation.

Dual‑Market Strategy: 50% Domestic, 50% Global

Houpu has built a balanced revenue mix – half in China, half overseas – and tailors solutions to local energy endowments and policy environments.

•In industrial hubs with strong hydrogen mobility demand – High‑flow modular refueling stations and 35/70 MPa high‑pressure equipment support fleet adoption.

•In regions rich in wind/solar resources – Integrated green hydrogen solutions (wind‑to‑H₂, solar‑to‑H₂, methanol‑to‑H₂, green ammonia/methanol synthesis) provide power, heat, and transport fuel.

•For zero‑carbon parks – Hydrogen production, storage, refueling, power generation, peak shaving, backup power, and natural gas blending (H₂/NH₃) are managed under a single smart platform.

Internationally, Houpu adapts to regional strengths: biomass‑to‑hydrogen (e.g., biogas reforming) for agricultural economies, and complete fueling station EPC for markets with mature environmental regulations.

Looking Ahead: Sustained R&D and Market Expansion
Zou emphasized that Houpu will intensify R&D in three areas: new product development, deeper localization of critical parts, and integrated system applications. The company is also accelerating the commercial rollout of its hydrogen e‑bikes, targeting policy‑backed scenarios where hydrogen can outperform lithium batteries.

“2026 marks the start of China’s 15th Five‑Year Plan,” Zou added. “We are increasing our market investment, speeding up product deployment, and contributing to the country’s dual‑carbon goals with persistent innovation.”

With a complete industrial chain, proven project capabilities, and a clear global vision, Houpu is ready to power the next wave of hydrogen adoption.
