又一氢能装备产业项目落户西海岸Another Hydrogen Equipment Industry Project Settles in the West Coast New Area

Green Fuel International Business Network has learned that on August 6, the People's Government of Boli Town in Qingdao West Coast New Area and Qian Hydrogen (Beijing) Energy Technology Co., Ltd. formally signed a cooperation agreement, with another hydrogen equipment industry project settling in the West Coast. The project plans total investment of 500 million yuan and will be built in two phases; its products will fully cover multiple application scenarios including hydrogen two-wheelers, three-wheelers, tourist sightseeing vehicles, backup power supplies, passenger vehicles and cold-chain logistics vehicles.

Qian Hydrogen (Beijing) Energy Technology Co., Ltd. was established in June 2024 and is led by chief scientist Professor Chai Maorong. Professor Chai Maorong is a well-known expert in China's hydrogen field, and his team masters 8 key core hydrogen technologies including catalysts, proton exchange membranes and cell stack assembly. Relying on the technical and intellectual support of Professor Chai Maorong's top research team, the project achieves resonance between "attracting projects" and "attracting talent".

Once both phases are fully operational, the project is expected to achieve annual operating revenue of 2 billion yuan and tax revenue of nearly 100 million yuan. This signing is a dual achievement of Qingdao's hydrogen industrial park in investment attraction and in attracting high-level talent. Qingdao West Coast New Area is the core host area for Qingdao's hydrogen industry development and is working to build a hydrogen industry ecosystem covering the full chain of "production, storage, transport, refueling and use".

The project will further complete and strengthen the key link of solid-state hydrogen storage in the new area and improve the full-chain layout of the hydrogen industry in the West Coast New Area. Shandong Province is one of the important provinces in China's hydrogen industry development, and Qingdao, as a core city of Shandong Peninsula Blue Economic Zone, has unique location advantages and an industrial base for hydrogen industry development.

In recent years, Qingdao has accelerated construction of its hydrogen industrial park, focusing on key areas such as hydrogen fuel cells, hydrogen energy storage and hydrogen transport, and attracting a group of upstream and downstream enterprises in the industry chain. The settlement of Qian Hydrogen Energy, bringing high-end talent to drive technological innovation and industrial clustering, has injected strong momentum into Qingdao's effort to build a domestic highland for the hydrogen industry.
