AsianFin -- HydoTech, a leading innovator in green hydrogen solutions, has announced a new round of strategic financing aimed at accelerating its global expansion and advancing new product development.
The latest investment round brings top-tier energy companies and institutional investors into HydoTech’s shareholder roster, including Sinopec, Saudi Aramco, NIO Capital, Sequoia China, Joy Capital, Xiang He Capital, ZhenFund, InnoAngel Fund, and the Tsinghua Alumni Seed Fund.
The diverse mix of investors underscores confidence in HydoTech’s technological capabilities and commercial potential, while signaling a broader consensus on the long-term value of the green hydrogen sector. A HydoTech spokesperson said the company’s goal is to provide continuously leading green hydrogen solutions for global energy innovators.
From its flagship advanced electrolytic hydrogen production system, Hydolyser®, to full ecosystem solutions, the company is helping partners in China, Europe, and the Middle East achieve their decarbonization and energy transition goals.
At the heart of HydoTech’s technological portfolio is the next-generation Hydolyser® system, which functions as the “core chip” of green hydrogen production. Designed for efficiency, adaptability, and easy maintenance, Hydolyser® reduces the levelized cost of green hydrogen while maintaining industry-leading performance. HydoTech offers a comprehensive product lineup, including the high-pressure HydoLyser® MK, low-pressure HydoLyser® X, and the AEM-based HydoLyser® Anion series.
These industrial-grade systems, each exceeding 5MW capacity, have demonstrated exceptional performance in long-term operation, including DC power consumption as low as 4.0 kWh per cubic meter, current efficiency exceeding 97 percent, and a dynamic response rate above 5 percent per second. The systems also operate safely at low-load ranges below 20 percent, ensuring reliability across diverse operational conditions.
Digitally native by design, Hydolyser® integrates the HydoOS® Green Hydrogen Intelligent Management System, offering real-time monitoring of individual cell health. Faulty modules can be replaced or upgraded on-site within 12 hours, while a complete set of petrochemical-grade operational procedures reduces operations and maintenance costs by up to 90 percent.
HydoTech has implemented more than 20 benchmark projects across China, Europe, and the Middle East, covering diverse applications such as hydrogen transportation, energy storage, green fuels, and industrial carbon reduction.
The company has partnered with leading petrochemical and fuel cell enterprises to establish integrated hydrogen production and refueling stations in Xinjiang and Qinghai, while collaborating with European industrial companies to deploy distributed hydrogen energy storage power stations.
HydoTech has also worked with top oil and wind power companies to demonstrate sustainable aviation fuel applications and produce green hydrogen in Heilongjiang and Jilin, driving large-scale development of green fuels. In Inner Mongolia, the company deployed China’s first 10MW rectangular plate electrolyzer for coal chemical applications and partnered with a major cement company to implement Asia’s first cement-coupled green hydrogen energy-saving project.
HydoTech collaborates with global energy leaders, including Saudi Aramco, Sinopec, Shell, and TotalEnergies, adhering to strict technical and safety standards. The company has achieved full EU CE certification, and its German wind-to-hydrogen project represents the first high-pressure alkaline hydrogen system to meet Shell’s standards. These implementations demonstrate the reliability and adaptability of HydoTech’s technology while providing green hydrogen owners with a replicable commercial model. Through its global presence and full value-chain solutions, HydoTech is helping the green hydrogen industry move from demonstration projects to large-scale, sustainable operations.
HydoTech’s Hydolyser® INSIDE initiative further strengthens its role in the green hydrogen ecosystem by providing integrated solutions through strategic partnerships. In collaboration with companies such as Huawei Digital Power, NARI Group, Goldwind, and Wison Engineering, the company supports end-to-end solutions from core equipment to hydrogen production workshops. Partnerships with CIMC Enric, Sinopec Machinery, REFIRE, Bosch, G33, and OXCCU focus on compression, storage, transportation, and application, enabling full lifecycle deployment. In Germany, HydoTech works with Hydrogenity to provide localized green hydrogen services, combining digital management with ecosystem integration. This approach not only supplies clients with advanced equipment but also links ecosystem resources through digital technology and local services, delivering economic benefits, operational safety, and sustainable development.
Guan Yufan, Partner at NIO Capital, said HydoTech stands out for its technological advantages, early-mover position, and localized service capabilities in key overseas markets. Its strategic direction aligns with NIO Capital’s focus on advancing sustainable energy and global decarbonization. Green hydrogen is increasingly regarded as the “new oil” and a universal key to global energy security, enabling storage of wind and solar power as hydrogen, ammonia, or methanol fuels, which can be transported and stored across seasons. It also serves as a green feedstock, replacing coal, oil, and natural gas in heavy industries, thus enhancing decarbonization efforts worldwide.
With growing global policy and industry support, including China’s National Energy Administration’s “Medium- and Long-Term Plan for the Development of the Hydrogen Energy Industry (2021–2035)” and Europe’s 2030 green hydrogen targets, regions such as the Middle East, South America, and North Africa are leveraging renewable resources to deploy large-scale hydrogen projects. HydoTech, with its advanced production technology, international experience, and full value-chain solutions, is positioned as a key player in driving the adoption of green hydrogen globally, enabling industries to achieve sustainable growth and energy transition objectives.
