Recently, Trina Green Hydrogen signed strategic cooperation agreements with SGS-CSTC Standards Technical Services Co., Ltd. (SGS) and Ningbo Zhongke Hydrogen Energy Membrane Technology Co., Ltd. The collaborations focus on areas such as international standard certification, green hydrogen equipment going global, and the supply of core materials for membrane electrodes, further refining the company's industrial layout in the field of water electrolysis for hydrogen production.
Under the five-year cooperation agreement between Trina Green Hydrogen and SGS, both parties will jointly participate in industry standard research based on international standards, co-compile industry white papers and blue papers, and provide joint technical services in areas such as electrolyzer manufacturing processes, station design review, and ex-China export certification.
The two parties will also leverage their respective strengths in technology, certification services, and market channels to jointly expand ex-China green hydrogen projects, providing standard compliance, safety assessment, and certification support for domestically produced hydrogen production equipment to enter the international market.
SGS is a global third-party testing, inspection, and certification organization with over 90 branches and more than 200 professional laboratories in China. It holds multiple domestic and international qualifications, such as CNAS and CMA, and has accumulated relevant experience in areas like hydrogen energy equipment safety assessment, product export compliance, and the ISO 22734 international standard for alkaline water electrolysis hydrogen production.
In terms of core materials, Trina Green Hydrogen has reached a three-year strategic cooperation with Ningbo Zhongke Hydrogen Energy Membrane Technology Co., Ltd. The two parties plan to establish an integrated supply system for "electrolyzer complete machines and membrane electrode core materials," and to form a joint R&D team to advance the coordinated development of equipment manufacturing and key materials.
Ningbo Zhongke Hydrogen Energy Membrane Technology Co., Ltd. is primarily engaged in the R&D and supply of integrated membrane electrode materials for alkaline hydrogen production, with products including composite separators, alloy catalytic electrodes, and nickel mesh. It focuses on addressing issues such as high energy consumption and insufficient service life of green hydrogen equipment. Trina Green Hydrogen, on the other hand, has a foundation in scaled electrolyzer intelligent production lines and end-user project applications, making their businesses highly complementary.
Going forward, the two parties will jointly tackle technical challenges such as electrodes with high current density and low energy consumption, long-life coatings, and stable adaptation of membrane electrodes under fluctuating wind and solar power conditions, while establishing a cooperation mechanism covering quality management, product delivery, and after-sales service.
These two cooperations connect the links of international certification services and core material supply, helping Trina Green Hydrogen enhance the standardization, localisation, and international market service capabilities of its green hydrogen equipment, and promote cost reduction and efficiency gains through the synergy of hydrogen production equipment and key materials.
