Jiangsu Guofu Hydrogen Energy Technology & Equipment Co, based in Zhangjiagang, is establishing itself as a benchmark enterprise in China's hydrogen equipment manufacturing industry. With a solid position in the domestic market, the company is now expanding its influence along the Belt and Road, promoting China's hydrogen solutions on an international stage.
In the early months of 2023, Guofu Hydrogen entered into a strategic cooperation agreement valued at $500 million with Saudi Arabia's TIJAN Petroleum. In April 2024, the company established its subsidiary in Hong Kong to accelerate research and development and facilitate global expansion. Guofu Hydrogen is engaged in the development of eight hydrogen equipment assembly facilities across Europe, South America, Oceania, the Middle East, and North Africa, transitioning from the exportation of products to the implementation of localized technologies.

Guofu Hydrogen maintains an integrated industry chain covering production, storage, transport, refueling, and application sectors. The company holds over 400 patents and has contributed to the drafting of 10 national standards. It has transitioned from an equipment manufacturer to a comprehensive solutions provider.
At the company's smart factory, automated lines produce up to 200 high-pressure hydrogen storage cylinders daily, many of which are shipped to Belt and Road markets like the Middle East. Gu Junjie, the water electrolysis technology manager, explained that the third-generation electrolyzer features a modular design that reduces its size by 20 percent, lowering international shipping costs and ensuring prompt delivery to Middle Eastern clients. Sales Representative Wu Xifeng mentioned that over 200 technical customizations were made to meet Abu Dhabi's strict standards.
"The Belt and Road Initiative and the global shift to green infrastructure are creating enormous opportunities for hydrogen technology," said Wang Cheng, general manager of international sales. "By aligning national clean energy strategies with proprietary innovations, Guofu Hydrogen is advancing global collaboration and helping drive the world's transition toward a low-carbon future."
