In April 2024, SANY, a global leader in heavy industry and clean energy solutions, established a strategic partnership with an Australian client, marking the company’s first export of its hydrogen technology following the development of China’s largest integrated hydrogen production and refueling station. On May 20th, SANY officially delivered a custom-developed 200Nm³/h skid-mounted hydrogen production and refueling unit—a key step in bringing its green hydrogen technology to the international market.
Advanced Technology for High-Efficiency Refueling
The system integrates state-of-the-art electrolysis technology with a full-suite control system for stable and efficient hydrogen production. Equipped with dual-stage supercharging and storage at 50 MPa and 90 MPa, it supports simultaneous refueling of 35 MPa commercial vehicles and 70 MPa passenger vehicles. This enables fast and safe hydrogen fueling for both heavy-duty transport and personal mobility—all in one compact station.
Certified for Global Compliance and Safety
To meet Australian market standards, the system has undergone rigorous testing and received certifications from Bureau Veritas (BV) and TÜV SÜD, ensuring its readiness for global deployment:
-
AS 3000 Electrical Safety Certification (Class 2): Compliant with Australia’s highest electrical safety standards
-
ASME/AS1200 Dual Pressure Vessel Certification: Approved for both U.S. and Australian use, with a fatigue life of over 20,000 cycles
-
SAE J2601 Protocol Testing: Enables 70 MPa hydrogen refueling within 3 minutes, meeting international standards for fast fill rates
Built on Design Principles and Rigorous Risk Analysis
SANY adopted a design-driven development approach, incorporating comprehensive safety evaluations during every stage. The engineering team conducted:
-
Hazard Identification (HAZID)
-
Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOP)
-
Safety Integrity Level (SIL) assessments
-
Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA)
These safety frameworks ensure proactive risk mitigation and lay the foundation for intelligent, robust, and scalable hydrogen infrastructure.
A Major Step in Global Green Growth
This Australian deployment reflects SANY’s growing role in the international green energy sector, aligning with the company’s broader strategy to expand into wind, solar, hydrogen, energy storage, and microgrids.
“SANY is accelerating its transition toward decarbonization and green growth, contributing a green force to the industry,”
said Xiang Wenbo, Chairman of SANY Heavy Industry.
Through cutting-edge innovation, global partnerships, and stringent safety standards, SANY is positioning itself as a leader in next-generation hydrogen infrastructure, helping industries worldwide move closer to net-zero goals.
