CIMC Enric, a global leader in energy storage and transport equipment, has made a landmark breakthrough in China’s hydrogen energy industry by launching the country’s first commercial liquid hydrogen tank carrier. This cutting-edge liquid hydrogen tank carrier integrates advanced cryogenic technology and safety design, filling the gap in China’s commercial liquid hydrogen transport equipment market. As a critical part of the hydrogen energy industrial chain, the commercial liquid hydrogen transport trailer enables efficient, safe, and large-scale long-distance transport of liquid hydrogen—providing strong support for the popularization of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, industrial hydrogen applications, and green energy development.
CIMC Enric (Hong Kong stock code: 3899. HK) is pleased to announce that China’s first commercial liquid hydrogen tank carrier developed by the Company’s subsidiary Zhangjiagang CIMC Sanctum Cryogenic Equipment Co., Ltd. (“CIMC Sanctum”) was successfully launched, marking a milestone for CIMC Enric in the expansion of high-end equipment for the hydrogen energy industry chain, and also implying that China has achieved a technological breakthrough in the field of high-efficiency storage and transport equipment for liquid hydrogen.
Liquid hydrogen storage and transport has the advantages of high purity, large capacity, low cost of long-distance transport, and high refueling efficiency. However, the commercial use of liquid hydrogen is an international challenge, and China is almost void of commercial liquid hydrogen storage and transport equipment. Liquid hydrogen is a colorless, odorless, high-energy, low-temperature liquid fuel from hydrogen liquefaction. Ordinary hydrogen in one atmosphere has a boiling point of -252.78°C and a freezing point of -259.19°C. Therefore, the storage and transport of liquid hydrogen are exceptionally demanding. Otherwise, it will vaporize and evaporate.
To effectively fill the gaps in domestic commercial liquid hydrogen storage and transport equipment, CIMC Enric has accumulated massive design and manufacturing experience in the relevant fields in recent years and has taken the lead in completing the compilation of the first group standard of “Special Technical Requirements for Transportable Vacuum-Insulated Liquid Hydrogen Pressure Vessels,” and has passed the first enterprise standard of “Transportable Vacuum-Insulated Liquid Hydrogen Pressure Vessels” in China, as well as the compliance review of the product design scheme for liquid hydrogen tank carriers. In the first half of 2023, CIMC Enric’s commercial liquid hydrogen storage tanks and containers were successfully launched. The Company has made another successful breakthrough in the key area of commercial liquid hydrogen tank carriers. The continuous progress of the industry’s hydrogen liquefaction process and key equipment technology will vigorously drive the growth of global demand for liquid hydrogen and help promote the large-scale application of hydrogen energy.
With the growing global demand for clean energy, hydrogen energy, as a highly efficient, environmentally friendly, and renewable energy source, has an ever-expanding range of applications, providing ultra-pure hydrogen for the automotive, electronics, medical, metallurgical, petrochemical, and other industries. As an emerging mode of transport, the demand for commercial liquid hydrogen tank carriers is gradually released due to the expedited development of the hydrogen energy industry. Along with the increasing maturity of China’s liquid hydrogen production, storage, transport, and application technologies, a favorable environment will be provided for developing commercial liquid hydrogen tank carriers. CIMC Enric will also leverage this first-mover advantage to actively seize the opportunity in the liquid hydrogen industry, adding a solid impetus to the Company’s performance growth.
As a key link connecting liquid hydrogen production, storage, and application, our liquid hydrogen tank carrier is widely applicable to multiple high-value scenarios:
Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle (FCV) Fleets: Provides large-volume liquid hydrogen supply for public transport fleets (buses, taxis), logistics trucks, and heavy-duty vehicles. The commercial liquid hydrogen transport trailer can refuel 50+ FCVs per trip, meeting the needs of large-scale fleet operations.
Industrial Hydrogen Applications: Supports hydrogen use in metallurgical (steelmaking hydrogenation), petrochemical (hydrogenation refining), and electronics manufacturing (semiconductor production) industries. The high-purity liquid hydrogen (purity ≥99.999%) transported by the tank carrier ensures stable product quality for industrial production.
Green Energy Projects: Facilitates the storage and transport of green hydrogen produced by solar, wind, or hydroelectric power electrolysis. The liquid hydrogen tank carrier enables cross-regional transport of green hydrogen, promoting the integration of renewable energy into the national energy grid.
Medical & Scientific Research: Supplies high-purity liquid hydrogen for medical imaging (MRI), cryogenic preservation, and scientific experiments, where ultra-low temperature and high purity are critical requirements.
