What CSSC (Handan) Perry Hydrogen Energy Technology Co. does

CSSC (Handan) Perry Hydrogen Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (中船(邯郸)派瑞氢能科技有限公司, branded PERIC/派瑞氢能) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC), created on September 28, 2021 by consolidating five hydrogen energy business segments of the 718 Research Institute, a state-owned defense-research institute founded in 1966. The company is headquartered at the Handan Hydrogen Energy Industrial Park in Hebei Province, operates a 21,500 sqm manufacturing base with 6 assembly workshops, and runs an annual production capacity of 700 alkaline units, 240-300 PEM units, and 3-3.5 GW total — making it the largest water electrolysis hydrogen equipment production base in China. PERIC claims 60%+ domestic share in water electrolysis hydrogen equipment and 70% share in the polysilicon segment, with cumulative sales of 2,200+ units across 31 Chinese provinces and 30+ countries.

The company's core technology is water electrolysis hydrogen production, spanning two complementary platforms. The CDQ alkaline water electrolysis system delivers single-unit hydrogen output of 20-3,000 Nm3/h using a bipolar filter-press structure with microcomputer-based automation and remote management. The PEM pure water electrolysis system delivers 0.01-300 Nm3/h, achieves up to 1 A/cm2 current density and 85% electrolysis efficiency, and supports intelligent 0-100% load regulation suited to variable renewable inputs. PERIC's R&D rests on proprietary components — alkaline hydrogen/oxygen evolution electrodes, organic-inorganic composite membranes, high-pressure corrosion-resistant bipolar plates, high-sealing gaskets, and PEM membrane electrode assemblies — backed by nearly 700 patents at the 718 Institute level, two National Science and Technology Progress First Prizes, and SASAC Science and Technology Reform Demonstration status. The product portfolio extends beyond electrolysis into hydrogen purification (99.999% purity), stationary and skid-mounted refueling stations, vehicle-mounted hydrogen systems, methanol-based hydrogen production, and broader gas purification (PSA/TSA oxygen, nitrogen, CO/CO2 separation), covering the full production-to-refueling value chain.

PERIC's revenue model is primarily capital-equipment sales of custom-engineered hydrogen production systems, with recurring aftermarket services (installation, commissioning, training, and ongoing technical support from a ~40-engineer service team) layered on top. GTM is enterprise direct sales via four dedicated business lines (comprehensive domestic, international, domestic electrolysis hydrogen, methanol hydrogen and purification), complemented by international exhibitions (Hannover Messe, Japan Smart Energy Week, European Green Hydrogen Summit, Saudi Green Energy Exhibition) and training programs delivered through the China Industrial Gas Association Hydrogen Committee. Customers span power generation, petrochemical, polysilicon/semiconductor, metallurgy, pharmaceutical, electronics, meteorology, aerospace, and gas-industry majors; signature accounts include Zhangjiakou Chongli (sole supplier for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics hydrogen supply), China Energy Engineering's Songyuan Hydrogen Industrial Park, and exports to Serbia, Portugal, Canada, India, Turkey, and others. Pricing is bespoke per project based on capacity, configuration, and requirements with no public list, reflecting standard industrial EPC economics.
