At the 2025 Shiyin Green Hydrogen Industry Conference held in Wuxi on August 27th, SHINE-HYDROGEN (Shanghai) New Energy Technology Co., Ltd.. was awarded the "2025 Green Hydrogen Potential Rising Star Award" by the conference for its disruptive high electric density and wide load PEM electrolysis hydrogen production technology.
The theme of this conference is "Breaking through the bottleneck of green hydrogen development with highly reliable and efficient hydrogen production products", bringing together industry authoritative institutions and upstream and downstream enterprises to jointly explore the direction of green hydrogen development. The award of SHINE-HYDROGEN marks its breakthrough achievement in the field of high-performance PEM electrolysis hydrogen production technology, which has been highly recognized by the industry.
Overcoming industry pain points and defining new PEM standards
The core technological advantage of SHINE-HYDROGEN lies in its independently developed "maturation induced embedded catalyst". This technology uses innovative processes to embed iridium oxide nanoparticles into cerium oxide carriers, forming a stable and efficient supported catalyst structure, successfully solving the core bottleneck that has long constrained the large-scale application of PEM technology - the high cost of precious metal catalysts.
This breakthrough technology brings three significant advantages:
Significant cost reduction: The usage of precious metal iridium has decreased from the industry standard of 1.5-2mg/cm ² to 0.3mg/cm ², a decrease of over 80%, directly breaking through the biggest pain point of PEM hydrogen production.
Significant improvement in energy efficiency: The catalyst performance has comprehensively exceeded the 2026 technical indicators set by the US Department of Energy (DOE), achieving a low cell voltage of 1.72V at a current density of 3A/cm ², and the energy conversion efficiency has been increased to 86%.
Long and stable lifespan: Accelerated aging testing shows a voltage decay rate of ≤ 1.3 μ V/h, with a theoretical lifespan of over 15 years, far exceeding the industry average.
The industrialization process is accelerating, empowering the future of green hydrogen
SHINE-HYDROGEN is not only a pioneer in laboratory technology, but also a practitioner of industrialization. The company has built the world's first 7GW level high-density PEM membrane electrode production line, using independently developed third-generation roll to roll double-sided direct coating technology, with a stable yield rate of over 95% and an increased slurry utilization rate of 95%.
After the production line is fully put into operation, it will be able to meet the explosive demand for green hydrogen equipment in industries such as wind and solar power bases, steel, and chemical industries, promote the cost of electrolytic cell projects to a new low in the industry, and help significantly reduce the investment cost of wind and solar power hydrogen production projects.
Joining hands with industry partners to jointly build an industrial ecosystem
SHINE-HYDROGEN is well aware of the importance of cooperation and has collaborated with multiple industry chain enterprises. The catalyst and membrane electrode products have been sent for samplingTianhe Yuan Hydrogen、Sany Hydrogen EnergyMultiple leading companies such as Hydrogen Generation and Sinopec conducted testing and verification, and received positive feedback.
Future outlook: Potential new star, shining on the zero carbon future
For SHINE-HYDROGEN, the “Green Hydrogen Rising Star Award” marks a new starting point. With the National Energy Administration's Notice on Hydrogen Energy Pilot Work setting June 2028 as the pilot completion milestone, the green hydrogen sector is entering an unprecedented policy window. Backed by leading technology, a clear commercialization path, and strong industry-academia-research capabilities, SHINE-HYDROGEN has become a focus of market and investor attention and is well positioned to become one of China's next green hydrogen unicorns.
Looking ahead to the future, SHINE-HYDROGEN will continue to deeply cultivate PEM Water Electrolysis hydrogen production technology, continuously reduce costs, improve energy efficiency, and provide a "Chinese solution" for the global green and low-carbon transformation, helping to achieve the "ultimate energy" of carbon neutrality goals - the large-scale and economical application of green hydrogen.
