Industrial gas major Air Liquide and state-owned energy company Shenergy have opened a joint hydrogen supply centre in Shanghai, which includes China’s first 300-bar Type II hydrogen filling facility.
The Shanghai Hydrogen Energy Supply Basin represents a RMB 180m ($13.8m) investment and aims to support hydrogen mobility and industrial decarbonisation across Shanghai and the Yangtze River Delta.
With an initial filling capacity of 12 tonnes per day, the facility can supply up to 12 hydrogen refuelling stations, enabling over 1,000 daily medium- to heavy-duty truck refuellings.
The facility will also serve industrial users. Hydrogen production will make use of CO2 recycling from Air Liquide’s nearby Shanghai Chemical Industry Park Industrial Gases plant, with biomethane sourced from Shenergy contributing to the mix.
