What Houpu Clean Energy Group Co. does

Houpu Clean Energy Group Co., Ltd. (HOUPU), founded in 2005 and headquartered in Chengdu, China, is a publicly listed (Shenzhen Stock Exchange GEM, SZ 300471) integrated clean energy equipment manufacturer and solution provider. The company designs, manufactures, and services a comprehensive portfolio spanning LNG, CNG, and hydrogen refueling station equipment (vehicle, marine, regasification, and hydrogen applications), core components (mass flowmeters, cryogenic pumps, nozzles, valves, vacuum products, cryogenic storage tanks, high-pressure compressors and dispensers), the HopNet IoT monitoring platform, and EPC engineering services for clean energy infrastructure projects. HOUPU has deployed 400+ hydrogen refueling stations in China and over 10,000 clean-burning natural gas deliveries, with named enterprise customers including Sinopec, PetroChina, CNOOC, Three Gorges Group, and joint-venture partner Air Liquide Group.

The company operates across the full clean energy value chain — from wellhead LNG liquefaction and electrolyzer-based hydrogen production to cryogenic storage, distribution, and end-use refueling — supplemented by 11 sub-brands covering hydrogen (Houding), marine (Houe), engineering (Hong Da), precision components (Andisonn), containerized storage (Xin Yu), the Air Liquide HOUPU joint venture, and the IoT platform HopNet. Business model revenue streams include hardware sales of refueling equipment and core components, EPC engineering services for projects such as the Ethiopian LNG project and the Shenzhen Energy Korla Green Hydrogen Project, and recurring subscription IoT services via HopNet. Distribution is enterprise-direct via website inquiry, international subsidiaries (HOUPU Global Clean Energy), and channel partners including the Air Liquide JV, with sales presence in Europe, Americas, Africa, South America, and Oceania.

Geographically, HOUPU has expanded materially in 2025: a 145 million CNY German LNG refueling station contract, TUV-certified alkaline electrolyzer exports to Europe, solid-state hydrogen storage entry into Brazil, MOUs with the Government of Navarre (Spain) and California's Global.SF hydrogen delegation, and a Belt and Road partnership with Papua New Guinea's National Oil Company for natural gas application. The company is led by Chairman and President Wang Jiwen (王纪文).
