China's First 300-Bar Hydrogen Supply Hub Opens in Shanghai
(P&GJ) – Air Liquide and Shenergy have inaugurated a new hydrogen energy facility in Shanghai, marking the launch of China’s first 300-bar Type II hydrogen filling center.
The facility, known as the Shanghai Hydrogen Energy Supply Basin and operated by the joint venture ALSHSN (Shanghai Chemical Industry Park Air Liquide Shenergy Hydrogen Energy Development Co., Ltd.), represents a key step in advancing hydrogen mobility and supply in the Yangtze River Delta.
With an investment of RMB 180 million, ALSHSN will supply high-pressure hydrogen to both industrial clients and the transportation sector. The facility can initially deliver 12 tonnes of hydrogen per day—enough to support 12 refueling stations and fuel over 1,000 medium- to heavy-duty hydrogen-powered trucks daily.
Hydrogen for the site is produced using CO₂ recycling processes at SCIPIG, an Air Liquide subsidiary, and biomethane sourced from Shenergy. The facility also debuts the first 300-bar Type II hydrogen trailers in China, offering a 60% increase in payload and reduced emissions compared to 200-bar tube trailers.
“This project reinforces our partnerships with Shenergy and SCIP, and demonstrates our ability to deliver low-carbon hydrogen to the local market by leveraging industrial byproducts,” said Rui Coelho, Air Liquide China CEO.
Air Liquide Group Vice President Ronnie Chalmers and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot were among those attending the opening event.
Shanghai is targeting peak carbon emissions by 2025, ahead of the national deadline, and continues to expand its hydrogen vehicle and fueling station infrastructure. The ALSHSN facility is expected to help accelerate that transition by improving regional logistics and supply chain reliability.
