What Sinocat does

Sinocat (中自科技股份有限公司) is a Chengdu-headquartered, STAR Market-listed (SSE: 688737) environmental catalysis and new energy technology company founded in 2005, operating with 501-1000 employees. Its core competency is environmental catalysis, spanning rare earth catalytic materials, three-way catalysts (TWC), diesel oxidation catalysts (DOC), diesel particulate filters (CDPF), selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalysts, VOCs purification catalysts, hydrogen fuel cell electrocatalysts, and solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). The catalyst business is anchored by National V/VI and Euro V/VI emission compliance products for gasoline, diesel, CNG/LNG/LPG, motorcycle, non-road mobile machinery, marine, and in-use vehicle retrofit applications, supported by a remote online monitoring platform (必蓝APP / Blu Lan APP) for fleet compliance management.

The company's revenue model is predominantly hardware sales across three pillars: (1) catalyst and emission treatment products sold to automotive OEMs, engine manufacturers, and fleet operators; (2) energy storage systems — residential (ZT-B5NLVI, ZT-B77NHVI) and commercial/industrial (ZT-ESS-D100kW/215kWh) — sold to enterprises, power companies, and overseas markets through wholly-owned subsidiaries including Chengdu Zetai Green Energy Trading and Sinocat Future Energy; and (3) hydrogen fuel cell components and SOFC. After-market retrofit services for in-use vehicles and VOCs industrial treatment projects form a smaller professional services stream. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Distribution is direct enterprise sales in China complemented by international subsidiaries serving Europe, Southeast Asia, and Belt and Road countries.

Sinocat holds the National Manufacturing Single Champion (国家级制造业单项冠军) designation, has led or participated in 28 national and industry standards, holds 150+ authorized invention patents, and has received 21 provincial and ministerial-level science and technology awards. It is expanding from a pure-play catalyst manufacturer into an integrated zero-carbon industrial park solutions provider, leveraging the 2025-launched 'Sinocat Smart Energy Solution' and the 'Digital Energy 2026 Photovoltaic Storage Ecosystem Partner Plan.' Key customers include Shandong Oilfield, Tangshan Mining, Chengdu natural gas bus fleets, Tianjin government, Xi'an diesel dump truck fleets, and military units, with international energy storage expansion underway.
