Companies based in Wuhan Economic & Technological Development Zone (WEDZ) are making significant advances in the global hydrogen energy market.
For example, Wuhan Troowin Power Systems Technology Co recently secured a 1.65MW fuel cell power station project from an overseas client, which is set to be delivered within the year, according to Chen Tong, brand manager at Troowin.
Chen explained that in hydrogen fuel cell systems, the most critical component is the stack, which has been the object of much research, development, and production for his company, along with other core components and systems for hydrogen energy and fuel cells.
Chen added that Troowin has achieved complete autonomy in core technologies, with some key technologies leading internationally, and Troowin's products have been delivered and are operational in over 20 major countries and regions, including the United States, Japan, South Korea, Germany, Austria, and the Philippines.
Wuhan WUT HyPower Technology Co has also made notable progress, entering the European market for the first time this year.
General manager Tian Mingxing explained that WUT HyPower has independently developed China's first automated production line for membrane electrodes, the mass production technology for which has long been dominated by companies in the United States and Japan.
Tian added that WUT HyPower's membrane electrode products and technologies are gradually closing the gap with their overseas counterparts in terms of performance and cost. Their market service capabilities are also catching up to international standards.
By leveraging their robust internal expertise and understanding of overseas grid standards and entry barriers, WUT HyPower has successfully broken into the European market, one of the earliest regions to develop and utilize hydrogen energy.
