SHINE-HYDROGEN Founder and Fudan Collaborators Publish Major Science Breakthrough: World-Leading PEM Water Electrolysis Hydrogen Production Technology
In the wave of global energy transition and carbon neutrality,SHINE-HYDROGEN (Shanghai) New Energy Technology Co., Ltd.As a technology innovation enterprise incubated by Fudan University, we officiallyFudan University's latest Science breakthrough in PEM water electrolysis for hydrogen productionis now moving toward industrialization and accelerating the commercialization of green hydrogen.
A major Science breakthrough that surpasses the U.S. Department of Energy's 2026 targets
Inspired by the way sesame seeds are embedded in the traditional Chinese snack maqiu, the Fudan research teamOn February 14threported in Science an embedded-support catalyst that overcomes a core bottleneck in PEM water electrolysis for hydrogen production:
lAn 85% reduction in costby embedding the “sesame” (iridium oxide) into the “maqiu” (support), drastically reducing iridium usage and cutting the raw-material cost from RMB 1300 per gram to a new industry low;
lA 65% gain in energy efficiencywith catalyst activity reaching the global frontier and electrolysis efficiency far exceeding existing technologies;
lA service life of up to 15 yearswith no performance decay after 6,000 hours of accelerated aging, a 50% longer equipment life, and world-class stability.
This achievement marks the first time globally thatthe firsta PEM water electrolysis catalyst has met and exceeded the U.S. Department of Energy's 2026 targetsacross allmetrics,with SHINE-HYDROGEN driving commercialization,signaling China's shift from catching up to leading in the green hydrogen race.
Cracking industry pain points and seizing the trillion dollar market
Currently, global demand for green hydrogen is exploding, but traditional technologies are limited byIridium resources are scarce and expensiveWaiting for difficulties. This technical solution——
lEfficient and SecurePEM Water Electrolysis technology can quickly start and stop in 2 minutes, adapting to the volatility of renewable energy;
lEconomically feasibleCatalyst costs have been reduced by 85%, and the production cost of green hydrogen is approaching that of traditional energy sources;
lwidely usedTechnology can be extended to other vehicle typescatalystScenarios empower the entire industry chain.
The International Energy Agency predicts that the global demand for green hydrogen will exceed one billion tons by 2050, and the scale of China's hydrogen energy industry is expected to exceed one trillion yuan. The technological breakthrough of SHINE-HYDROGEN will become the core lever to leverage this market!
Deep integration of industry, academia and research accelerates commercialization process
SHINE-HYDROGEN relies on Fudan University to establish close cooperation with various advanced research teams and units, sharing the latest scientific research achievements and technological progress, and serving the green hydrogen industry——
lLed by Professor Zhang BoHaving been deeply involved in the field of green hydrogen for many years, possessing both academic authority and industry experience;
lMass production of new catalystMultiple catalysts have mass production capabilities, process optimization is ongoing, and full commercialization will be achieved by the end of 2025;
lIndependently developed slurry formulaRelying on the team's polymer research and development advantages, develop a series of high-performance slurries;
lSelf designed membrane electrode production lineWe have independently designed a domestically produced fully automatic membrane electrode production line with a designed capacity of 7GW/year, and currently have stable supply capability for MW level electrolytic cell membrane electrode products.
The company is located in the Baowu Group Shanghai Carbon Neutrality Industrial Park, relying on policy and location advantages, actively cooperating with upstream and downstream enterprises, leading the construction of a green and low-carbon (electrolytic water hydrogen production) innovation consortium, integrating upstream and downstream advantages of the industrial chain, and accelerating the commercial application of technology.
Zero carbon mission, empowering a green future
Green hydrogen is the 'ultimate energy' of the carbon neutral era, and SHINE-HYDROGEN is supported by innovative technology——
lCarbon reduction contributionEach ton of green hydrogen reduces carbon dioxide emissions by about 23 tons, promoting deep decarbonization in industries, transportation, and other fields;
lnational strategyIn response to the "dual carbon" goal, support the independent and controllable development of China's hydrogen energy industry;
lglobal perspectiveProvide a 'Chinese solution' for global climate governance and create a new engine for zero carbon economy.
