Chinese Clean Energy Group Ships 35MPa Integrated Hydrogen Refueling Station to Portugal, Breaking New Ground in the EU Market

A renowned Chinese clean energy group's international engineering equipment arm has completed shipment of its 35MPa integrated hydrogen refueling station project for Portugal, with the equipment now heading to the country. The delivery marks the first time the company's complete hydrogen refueling station systems have entered the European Union market. Fresh from its success in Southeast Asia, the company has carried its “integrated Chinese hydrogen refueling solution” to one of the world's most exacting hydrogen markets — a substantial step forward in its internationalization strategy.

Plug-and-Play: An Integrated Skid Redefines Station Construction

Unlike the conventional European approach of procuring components separately and assembling them on site, the integrated skid-mounted solution supplied by the company was engineered in strict compliance with European standards. Core equipment — including compressors, hydrogen dispensers, chillers and control systems — is consolidated into a single modular skid. On site, only connections to the hydrogen storage system and utility lines for water, power and gas are required before the station can be quickly commissioned.

The design speaks directly to the priorities of the European market: a compact footprint, mobility, ease of disassembly and transport, and rapid installation. Compared with conventional station builds, it dramatically shortens construction lead times, offering European cities an efficient, flexible and highly competitive Chinese solution for rapidly expanding their hydrogen refueling networks.

The exported integrated skid-mounted equipment fully meets the EU's stringent requirements on safety, environmental protection and quality, with core indicators covered by multiple international certifications. The MD certification has already been issued, while the PED and ATEX certifications have passed technical review and are set to be formally granted upon completion of on-site installation and acceptance — ensuring the station is fully certified before it enters service.

Proven Quality: Customer Acceptance Earns High Praise

In June, a delegation from the Portuguese customer visited the company's final assembly base, where it carried out a comprehensive and rigorous on-site acceptance review covering performance indicators, manufacturing processes and quality control. After hands-on inspection and testing, the customer spoke highly of the company's production capability and equipment quality, and expressed strong confidence in the continued partnership.

“With regard to the precision of integrated manufacturing and the speed of system response, the company has exceeded our existing perception of Made in China,” said a customer representative. “This solution will significantly accelerate our plan to roll out hydrogen mobility in Portugal.”

The main equipment has now arrived in Portugal for on-site installation. Once local commissioning and final certification are completed, the station will formally enter service, providing efficient, rapid and safe refueling for a broad range of vehicles — including hydrogen fuel cell passenger cars and heavy-duty trucks — to meet the commercial operating needs of end customers and support the country's green transportation transition.

Global Footprint: A Dual Leap in Hydrogen Refueling Equipment

As a pioneer in taking Chinese hydrogen equipment overseas, the company has continued to accelerate its global expansion. Its product footprint — from hydrogen dispensers that served the Paris Olympic Games, to complete hydrogen refueling systems exported to Malaysia, Indonesia and other Southeast Asian markets, and now to integrated hydrogen refueling station equipment entering the EU — now spans Europe, Southeast Asia, the Americas, Oceania and East Asia.

Leveraging the international market channels and the joint-venture technical collaboration strengths of the clean energy group, the company has built a complete overseas delivery system of “independent R&D, intelligent manufacturing and global delivery,” achieving a dual advancement: from individual hydrogen refueling devices to complete station solutions, and from emerging markets to high-end markets.

The successful delivery of the Portugal project is both a concentrated demonstration of the company's international service capability and an important milestone in its deepening commitment to the hydrogen energy sector and its expansion into global markets.
