Guofu Hydrogen and Hanling: Hydrogen Energy and Low-Altitude Economy, Ushering in a New Chapter of Cooperation

On October 18, 2025, the signing ceremony for the liquid hydrogen-powered drone project between Guofu Hydrogen Energy and South Korea's Hanling took place in the Nanhu High-Tech Zone, Jiaxing. Government and enterprise representatives, including Chen Qunwei, Secretary of the Nanhu District Committee, Wu Pinfang, Chairman of Guofu Hydrogen Energy, and Kim Seo-young, Chairman of Hanling, attended the event to witness the launch of the cooperation.

Both partners are industry leaders: Guofu Hydrogen Energy is a top-tier enterprise in China's hydrogen equipment sector with a solid industrial foundation, while Hanling, originating from the South Korea Institute of Science and Technology, has mature technology across the entire liquid hydrogen chain—including liquefaction, storage, and transportation—and deep expertise in R&D for hydrogen fuel cell drones, supported by core equipment such as liquid hydrogen refueling stations, giving it a competitive edge in global liquid hydrogen applications and low-altitude hydrogen equipment.

Cooperation Details:

Technical Collaboration: Combining Guofu Hydrogen Energy's industrial resources with Hanling's liquid hydrogen technology to jointly develop liquid hydrogen-powered drones.

Industry Chain Layout: Plans to invest in Nanhu to expand production of key equipment such as liquid hydrogen cylinders, storage tanks, and drone hydrogen supply systems, building a closed-loop industry chain.

Strategic Investment: Guofu Hydrogen Energy will make a strategic investment in Hanling, participating in its Pre-IPO and subsequent development.

Market Expansion: Collaborate to promote the application of Guofu Hydrogen Energy's renewable energy liquid hydrogen from Inner Mongolia in the South Korean market, jointly advance South Korea's green hydrogen demonstration project, and explore markets in North America and Europe.

This cooperation centers on "industrial linkage + capital synergy":On the industrial side, leveraging Guofu Hydrogen Energy's resources, plans are in place to invest in Nanhu to expand the layout of key equipment such as liquid hydrogen cylinders, storage tanks, and drone hydrogen supply systems, establishing a closed-loop industry chain;On the capital side, Guofu Hydrogen Energy will make a strategic investment in Hanling, participating in its Pre-IPO and follow-on development. Simultaneously, the two parties have reached a consensus onmarket expansion, including promoting the entry of Guofu Hydrogen Energy's renewable energy liquid hydrogen from Inner Mongolia into the South Korean market, jointly building a South Korean green hydrogen "production-storage-transportation-refueling-application" demonstration project, and collaboratively exploring the liquid hydrogen industry markets in North America and Europe.

Significance of the Cooperation:Guofu Hydrogen Energy deepens its industry chain layout, while Hanling gains strategic investment and market expansion opportunities; Sino-South Korean enterprises collaborate on innovation, promoting the integration of liquid hydrogen technology with the low-altitude economy and setting a benchmark for the hydrogen low-altitude equipment industry.

Chen Qunwei, Secretary of the Nanhu District Committee, stated that services will be provided under the principles of "rule of law, integrity, and efficiency" to ensure the project's successful implementation. Looking ahead, both parties will use the Jiaxing project as a starting point to release the potential of integrating liquid hydrogen technology with the low-altitude economy, establish a benchmark for the hydrogen low-altitude equipment industry, and chart a new blueprint for Sino-South Korean enterprise collaboration and the development of "hydrogen energy + low-altitude economy."
