On October 10, Sinopec Group Capital Co., Ltd., Enze Haihe (Tianjin) Equity Investment Fund Partnership, and Cummins (China) Investment Co., Ltd. signed a letter of intent for cooperation in Beijing.

They will use the advantages and resources of all parties to jointly promote electrolysis. The development and promotion of hydrogen technology promote the development of the green hydrogen industry.

Green hydrogen produces hydrogen through the electrolysis of water from renewable energy sources. Its outstanding feature is the zero pollution of the entire industrial chain. Increasing the proportion of green hydrogen is the future trend of hydrogen fuel cell vehicle development.

According to the letter of intent, Sinopec Capital and Enze Fund will provide market resources and funds for cooperation, and at the same time make full use of Sinopec Group’s advantages in supply chain optimization, sales, and market networks to provide strong support for the future development of hydrogen production technology.

Sinopec Hydrogen StationIt is understood that Sinopec has accelerated its deployment in the hydrogen energy industry in recent years, and has carried out work in various fields such as hydrogen refueling stations, hydrogen production technology, hydrogen fuel cells, and hydrogen storage materials. Sinopec’s hydrogen production in 2019 exceeded 3 million tons, accounting for about 14% of the country’s hydrogen production; several oil-hydrogen combined demonstration stations have been built and put into use in Guangdong, Zhejiang, Shanghai, and other places. As a strategic partner of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, Sinopec has also cooperated with the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee on the supply of hydrogen energy.

Huang Wensheng, Chairman of Sinopec Capital, said: “Hydrogen energy is an important clean energy in the future, with high strategic significance and broad development prospects. It is hoped that all parties will further strengthen cooperation and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.”

Cummins has advanced technology R&D and engineering expertise. In the field of green hydrogen, especially the design, manufacturing and fuel cell solutions for hydrogen production from electrolyzed water, it has accumulated more than 25 years of technology and experience. It has a global hydrogen market layout. And the existing business and service network will provide advanced technology and engineering services for cooperation.

Cummins Vice President Nathan Stoner said, “We look forward to working with Sinopec to provide more possibilities for the hydrogen production solution market, meet the needs of diversified application scenarios, and further invest in and promote the development and breakthrough of hydrogen production technology. .”
