The Rise of Green Hydrogen: Jiangsu Zhongjian’s Journey Towards Clean Energy Excellence

Green Hydrogen: The Glorious Journey of Zhongjian Hydrogen Energy
As the world embraces the wave of energy transition, Jiangsu Zhongjian Energy Group Co., Ltd., Zhongjian Hydrogen Energy Technology Jiangsu Co., Ltd., and its subsidiary, Aksu Qingneng Zhongjian Hydrogen Energy Technology Co., Ltd., are making significant strides toward a cleaner energy future.
On January 14, 2025, China’s largest green hydrogen liquefaction plant received approval, with an annual production capacity planned at 50,000 tons of green hydrogen and 450,000 tons of liquid oxygen. The project has now entered the final design phase prior to construction.
This promising year marks a high point for Zhongjian Hydrogen Energy, as it was awarded the Polaris Cup “Outstanding Practice Award in Hydrogen Energy” at the Second Green Hydrogen Industry Innovation and Development Conference. This honor shines like a beacon, illuminating not only Zhongjian Hydrogen Energy’s path but also the future of the entire green hydrogen industry.
The story begins a decade ago when the global energy landscape was undergoing profound changes, and the development and utilization of renewable energy became a focal point for many nations. Liu Jun, the head of Zhongjian Hydrogen Energy, along with his team, has been dedicated to international oil and gas trade in China. As a passionate entrepreneur and expert, he keenly recognized the enormous potential of hydrogen energy, particularly green hydrogen.
Green hydrogen, with its zero carbon emissions during production, has become a crucial component of future energy systems. Moreover, liquid hydrogen technology makes the storage and transportation of hydrogen more efficient and feasible. Liu Jun led his team on a challenging and lengthy exploration of green hydrogen liquefaction projects.
Initially, they faced numerous technical challenges. Producing liquid hydrogen requires extremely low temperatures, which imposes stringent demands on equipment. Ensuring safety while optimizing production processes and reducing costs presented significant hurdles. Team members worked tirelessly in laboratories and workshops, conducting repeated experiments and continuously adjusting parameters, much like relentless explorers seeking the key to success.
Financial constraints also posed challenges for Zhongjian Hydrogen Energy, as high research and development costs and equipment investments strained the company’s resources. To secure funding, Liu Jun tirelessly sought out visionary investors, successfully garnering support for the project fueled by his unwavering belief in green hydrogen.
This year, Zhongjian Group began to compile and co-edit various industry standards, including the “Technical Specifications for Hydrogen Liquefaction Systems” and “Testing Methods for Insulation Efficiency of Low-Temperature Liquid Hydrogen Storage Systems”, based on years of research into liquid hydrogen storage tank technology and liquefaction equipment. They are also planning large-scale integrated projects for green electricity and green hydrogen storage in regions like Xinjiang, including Kelamayi, Aksu, Atushi, Zepu, and Yili Prefecture.
After years of perseverance and hard work, Zhongjian Hydrogen Energy achieved a breakthrough, successfully developing a highly efficient and stable production process for green hydrogen liquefaction. This innovation significantly reduced production costs and improved product purity to an internationally advanced level. This achievement not only addressed several critical issues in the domestic liquid hydrogen industry but also granted the company a competitive edge in the market.
In 2025, Zhongjian Hydrogen Energy showcased its achievements at the Second Green Hydrogen Industry Innovation and Development Conference, which brought together hydrogen energy companies from around the globe to display their latest technological advancements and applications. The booth of Zhongjian Hydrogen Energy attracted great interest from visitors eager to learn about their green hydrogen liquefaction project.
As the conference reached its climax, the results of the Polaris Cup “Outstanding Practice Award in Hydrogen Energy” were announced. When the host declared that Zhongjian Hydrogen Energy had won, the audience erupted in applause. Liu Jun took the stage to accept the award, his face beaming with pride and joy. In his acceptance speech, he stated, “This honor does not belong solely to Zhongjian Hydrogen Energy; it belongs to all those who have dedicated themselves to the green hydrogen industry. We believe that green hydrogen will play a vital role in driving global energy transformation, and we are honored to be a part of this journey.”
The success of Zhongjian Hydrogen Energy inspires more enterprises to engage in the green hydrogen industry. Their story has become a legend within the sector, encouraging countless others to forge ahead on the path toward clean energy.
As the project progresses steadily, Zhongjian Hydrogen Energy is not resting on its laurels. They are collaborating with various research institutions to further optimize green hydrogen liquefaction technology and actively participating in the formulation of international standards, enhancing China’s voice in the global green hydrogen industry.
Currently, the green hydrogen liquefaction project of Zhongjian Hydrogen Energy has achieved large-scale production and has been successfully applied in multiple fields. From hydrogen-powered vehicles in the transportation sector to hydrogen fuel cells in industrial production, Zhongjian Hydrogen Energy’s green hydrogen products are contributing to sustainable societal development.
The award received at the Second Green Hydrogen Industry Innovation and Development Conference is merely a new starting point in Zhongjian Hydrogen Energy’s illustrious journey. Moving forward, they will continue to drive innovation and ground their practices in real-world applications, injecting more green energy into global energy transformation. The Polaris Cup “Outstanding Practice Award in Hydrogen Energy” will forever be etched in the annals of Zhongjian Hydrogen Energy, serving as a testament to their relentless pursuit.
The light of green hydrogen illuminates the path ahead. Zhongjian Hydrogen Energy is steadfastly walking this hopeful yet challenging road, crafting its own legendary story and making indispensable contributions to humanity’s clean energy dream.
