Siemens AG, China-based Guofu Hydrogen, a key provider of integrated hydrogen energy solutions, and Germany-based RCT GH Hydrogen, a supplier of hydrogen systems and services, have signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on enhancing the hydrogen value chain. This partnership represents a major advancement in the global adoption of green hydrogen technology, with a focus on developing and manufacturing electrolyzers and facilitating green hydrogen production.
The agreement establishes Siemens as the preferred supplier and technology partner across the entire value chain of Guofu Hydrogen's expansion plans. The partnership focuses on three key areas:
Developing and engineering Guofu’s electrolyzers and electrolyzer systems.
Equipping new electrolyzer manufacturing facilities, starting in Germany.
Developing, constructing, and operating new hydrogen production plants.
As a technology partner, RCT GH Hydrogen will lead the engineering, procurement, and construction of state-of-the-art hydrogen production facilities.
Siemens will deliver products, solutions, and services from across its Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, including industrial automation and instrumentation. The deal also includes electrification and building technology, industrial communication, and cybersecurity solutions. Siemens will also contribute its wide range of digital services and software for the design, engineering, simulation, optimization, and standardization of the entire hydrogen value chain, from electrolyzer manufacturing to the operation of hydrogen plants.
Another crucial aspect of the collaboration is establishing a global hydrogen partner ecosystem that connects suppliers, technology providers, and end-users to drive innovation and industry standardization. This ecosystem will be backed by Siemens Xcelerator, the company’s open digital business platform designed to enable seamless integration and collaboration across the value chain.
