Howden has supplied three hydrogen compressors for use in the world’s largest hydrogen refuelling station (HRS) for Hypower: the Beijing Daxing HRS in China. 

Howden’s hydrogen diaphragm compressor packages were supplied at the refuelling station. The Daxing HRS has the capacity to produce 4.8 metric t/d of hydrogen and refuel up to 600 hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, including large vehicles such as trucks and buses. The Daxing HRS is part of the 200,000 m² Beijing International Hydrogen Energy Demonstration Zone.

The Howden team in China responded to a short lead time requirement and worked closely with HyPower to provide the solution necessary to keep this important HRS running. Howden has a long history and strong presence in China with over 1,000 employees operating in offices and service centres across seven cities and a large manufacturing centre that serves customers across the country.
