Green Hydrogen Project Tracking - SANY Delivers Australia's First Hydrogen Refueling Station Project, New Progress Made in Green Energy's Go Global Plan

In April 2024, SANY forged a strategic partnership with an Australian customer. Prior to this, SANY had already established the largest integrated hydrogen production and refueling station in China, and this collaboration marked its first foray into introducing relevant technologies to the international market. On May 20 this year, SANY officially delivered custom-developed 200 Nm³/h skid-mounted hydrogen production and refueling equipment to the customer, signifying a crucial step forward in the internationalization of its green energy products.

Leading Technology Drives Efficient Hydrogen Refueling

The project employs industry-leading flexible electrolysis water hydrogen production technology, paired with an integrated control system to ensure stable and efficient operation of the equipment. A single system boasts dual-stage hydrogen compression and storage capabilities at 50 MPa and 90 MPa, meeting the hydrogen refueling needs of both 35 MPa commercial vehicles and 70 MPa passenger vehicles. This means that whether it's freight vehicles or daily-use passenger vehicles, they can all be quickly and safely refueled at this integrated station.

Adhering to Global Standards, Ensuring Safe and Compliant Implementation

To successfully enter the Australian market, the project strictly adhered to local market standards during production and has obtained comprehensive certifications from Bureau Veritas (BV) and TÜV SÜD:

AS 3000 Electrical Safety Certification: Achieving Australia's highest Level 2 standard.

ASME/AS1200 Dual Certification: Pressure vessels comply with both US and Australian standards, holding ASME U3 stamp certification. Fatigue life exceeds 20,000 cycles.

SAE J2601 Hydrogen Refueling Protocol Testing: Conforming to international fueling standards, capable of refueling 70 MPa passenger vehicles within 3 minutes.

Design-Oriented Development and Rigorous Safety Analysis

SANY adopts a forward development process based on fundamental design principles. During the development process, the project team conducted comprehensive risk assessment and management for the PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) hydrogen production and purification system and the high-pressure hydrogen refueling system, covering hazard identification, hazard and operability analysis, safety integrity level assessment, and layer of protection analysis, among other aspects.

These analytical methods facilitate the precise identification of risks at an early stage of the project, laying a solid foundation for creating safe, intelligent, and resilient hydrogen energy solutions.

Leveraging advanced technology, stringent safety standards, and global collaboration, SANY's success in the Australian market will serve as a pivotal step in promoting sustainable development. SANY remains focused on the clean energy sector, continuously deepening its expertise and making breakthroughs in wind energy, solar energy, hydrogen energy, energy storage systems (ESS), and microgrid technologies. Xiang Wenbo, Chairman of SANY Heavy Industry, stated, "SANY is accelerating its transition towards decarbonization and green growth, committed to injecting momentum into the industry's green development.""
