GUOFUHEE Entered into Partnership in Singapore to Develop Hydrogen Energy Market in Southeast Asia

On August 3, 2023, Mr. Wu Pinfang, Chairman of Jiangsu Guofu Hydrogen Energy Equipment Co., Ltd. ("GUOFUHEE"), Ryan Wong, CEO of Evvo Labs, and Goh Lay Poh, representative of Xindongxin Corporate Management Company, signed the Hydrogen Energy Project Strategic Cooperation Agreement at Hilton Singapore Orchard. According to the agreement, the three parties will jointly invest and establish a joint venture company in Singapore to build a new pattern of market development in Southeast Asia by relying on GUOFUHEE's technological advantages in the hydrogen industry chain. Based on the local market of Singapore, the joint venture will lead the development of hydrogen energy projects in Malaysia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia and other ASEAN countries. Hydrogen energy, as an abundant, green, low-carbon and widely used secondary energy source, is gradually becoming one of the major carriers of the global energy transition. At the Singapore International Energy Week 2022, Lawrence Wong, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance of Singapore announced the launch of Singapore's National Hydrogen Strategy, which will develop hydrogen energy as a key decarbonization pathway in support of Singapore's international climate commitment to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. The Strategy sets out to develop low-carbon hydrogen as a key decarbonization route to support Singapore's accelerated transition to net-zero emissions by 2050, while enhancing Singapore's energy security and resilience.  The 70Mpa HRS by GUOFUHEE in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia As a major economic and innovation hub in Southeast Asia, Singapore is committed to promoting sustainable development and green energy cooperation. Through this partnership, GUOFUHEE, Evvo Labs and Xindongxin Corporate Management Company have made significant strides in the hydrogen energy sector, bringing more opportunities and innovations to the hydrogen energy industry in Southeast Asia, and promoted the broad application of hydrogen technology in transportation, industry and energy in Singapore and Southeast Asia, and also further enhanced energy diversification and sustainable development in Southeast Asia, making an important contribution to a cleaner, low-carbon future.

ADNOC to Launch Middle East's First High-speed Hydrogen Refuelling Station

ADNOC is an early mover in the production of clean hydrogen, and the station under development in Masdar City will support the UAE National Hydrogen Strategy. Abu Dhabi, UAE – July 18, 2023: ADNOC, today announced that it has begun construction on the Middle East's first high-speed hydrogen refueling station. The station, which is being built in Masdar City by ADNOC, will create clean hydrogen from water, using an electrolyser powered by clean grid electricity. Hydrogen, which creates no carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions when used, has the highest energy per mass of any fuel and can give vehicles a longer driving range and quicker refueling times compared with battery electric vehicles.  ADNOC also announced a partnership with Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) and Al-Futtaim Motors to test the high-speed hydrogen refueling station using a fleet of clean hydrogen-powered vehicles.  His Excellency Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and ADNOC Managing Director and Group CEO, said: “The need to reduce carbon emissions to address climate change is clear and urgent. ADNOC is placing sustainability and decarbonization at the heart of its strategy and, while we decarbonize our operations today, we are making robust investments to be a supplier of choice for the clean energies of tomorrow. “Hydrogen will be a critical fuel for the energy transition, helping to decarbonize economies at scale, and it is a natural extension of our core business. Through this pilot program, we will gather important data on how hydrogen transportation technology performs as we continue to develop the UAE's hydrogen infrastructure.” Under the partnership, Toyota and Al Futtaim Motors will provide a fleet of hydrogen-powered vehicles. The pilot program will help ADNOC understand how hydrogen with high-speed refueling can best be used in mobility projects to support the UAE's National Hydrogen Strategy, which aims to position the country among the largest producers of hydrogen by 2031. ADNOC Distribution will operate the station upon its completion later this year. A second station, in Dubai Golf City, will be fitted with a conventional hydrogen fueling system. ADNOC has allocated $15 billion (AED55 billion) to advance and accelerate lower-carbon solutions, investing in new energies and decarbonization technologies to reduce its carbon intensity by 25% by 2030 and enable its Net Zero by 2050 ambition.
