The Daxing hydrogen station equipped with Air Liquide technology is the world’s largest hydrogen station with a capacity of nearly 5 t per day. Located in Beijing, it is part of a 200,000 m2 International Hydrogen Energy Demonstration Zone which includes an exhibition hall opened to the public and inaugurated July 8 2021.
Air Liquide Houpu Hydrogen Equipment Co., Ltd, a subsidiary of Air Liquide Group, supplied and installed eight hydrogen dispenser units for the Daxing station, owned and operated by Beijing Hypower Energy Technology Ltd. With a capacity of 4.8 t, this station can refuel 600 hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (cargo van, garbage truck and bus) per day, making it the largest in the world in terms of refueling capacity.
China is scaling up several fuel-cell vehicle projects in five priority provinces and 10 major cities, actively developing a low-carbon sustainable automobile industry. Air Liquide will continue to contribute to the progress of hydrogen mobility in China and low-carbon industrial hydrogen, investing in the development and construction of stations, while accelerating the development of local low-carbon hydrogen production in key areas such as the Yangtze River Delta, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, as well as in the Guangdong, Hubei & Sichuan provinces.
