Tracking Green Hydrogen Projects: Xibei You Hydrogen Energy Signs National Green Hydrogen Demonstration Project in Nepal

On November 10, Xibei You Hydrogen Energy, an enterprise in China's alkaline water electrolysis hydrogen production sector, formally signed a project contract titled "Green Hydrogen Market Opportunities in Nepal" with Butwal Power Co Ltd. (BPC), a well-known hydropower development and operation enterprise in Nepal. The two parties will focus on the core requirements of hydrogen production from hydropower and hydrogen compression and filling, with cooperation covering the entire process from solution design, production and manufacturing to implementation and operation maintenance.

• Benchmark Positioning of the Project: This project is the first officially launched green hydrogen demonstration project in Nepal. As a core component of the country's national hydrogen energy development plan, it leverages BPC's extensive experience and influence in the clean energy sector, marking an industry milestone.

• Value of China-Nepal Cooperation: This collaboration signifies the first entry of Chinese hydrogen energy equipment into the Nepalese market, deploying China's mature alkaline water electrolysis hydrogen production technology and solutions in a South Asian energy hub. It injects new momentum into the energy transition of countries along the Belt and Road Initiative, while also serving as an important practical case of cooperation between China and Nepal in the new energy field.

• Breakthrough in International Competition: The project initiated a global tender in June 2025, attracting hydrogen production technology suppliers and engineering contractors from multiple countries. Xibei You Hydrogen Energy stood out through multiple rounds of rigorous technical evaluations, thanks to its profound technical expertise in alkaline water electrolysis hydrogen production, comprehensive process service experience, and customized solutions tailored to local Nepalese needs, successfully securing the crucial "admission ticket."

• Implementation Impact and Future Plans: Upon completion, the project will achieve zero-carbon hydrogen production powered by clean hydropower and high-pressure storage and transportation capabilities. Its annual hydrogen production volume is expected to meet regional demonstration application demands, providing significant leadership for the construction of Nepal's hydrogen energy industry chain. In the future, Xibei You Hydrogen Energy will continue to deepen technology R&D, optimize customized solutions for Southeast Asian PV resources and South Asian hydropower resources, strengthen cooperation with energy enterprises in countries along the Belt and Road Initiative, build full-chain service capabilities, and contribute to the global energy transition.
