What ALLY HI-TECH CO., LTD does

Sichuan Ally Hydrogen Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (四川亚联氢能科技股份有限公司), commercially branded Ally Hi-Tech / Ally Hydrogen Energy, is a privately held Chengdu-based hydrogen production technology company founded in 2000. It designs and manufactures industrial-scale hydrogen production equipment across four technology platforms — alkaline water electrolysis (50–1,500 Nm³/h), methanol steam reforming (up to 60,000 Nm³/h at 3.3 MPa), natural gas steam reforming (up to 50,000 Nm³/h), and pressure swing adsorption (PSA) purification (up to 300,000 Nm³/h) — together with downstream products including integrated production-refueling stations, modular green ammonia plants (3,000–20,000 t/a), hydrogen energy storage systems, fuel cell backup power for telecom base stations, and proprietary catalysts/adsorbents/specialty valves.

The company operates a project-based EPC business model, selling equipment and full engineering-procurement-construction services directly to enterprise customers in energy/utilities, transportation/mobility, industrial gas, waste-to-hydrogen, and aerospace/defense, with cumulative deliveries exceeding 700 units across approximately 20 countries. Revenue is generated through equipment sales, EPC contracting, long-term O&M services, and hydrogen gas sales (e.g., Huaneng Pengzhou station). Notable customers include Foshan Gas (1,000 kg/d integrated station), Plug Power for the Walmart Mississippi station, Huaneng Hydrogen, Hanlan Environment, SDIC Biotechnology, and Sichuan Yuyan; Air Liquide and Taiyo Nippon Sanso Corporation are strategic partners/investors.

The firm operates four facilities — Chengdu headquarters, Tianjin green-hydrogen subsidiary (2022), the Deyang Kaiya Manufacturing Center (RMB 3 billion investment, 400 sets/year planned capacity, ~RMB 3.5 billion expected annual sales at full ramp), and Tokyo R&D center Narukawa Technology (2020) — and holds 100+ patents across China, the US, and the EU, including authorship of national standard GB/T 34540-2017. With 600+ employees group-wide, 23 consecutive years of safe production (8,819 days), and recent MIIT 'Little Giant' and CNIPA National IP Advantage designations, Ally is positioned as a full-stack Chinese hydrogen-equipment specialist pivoting from traditional SMR/PSA toward green ammonia, offshore applications, and global exports.

Core offering

ALLY HI-TECH designs, manufactures, and sells industrial-scale hydrogen production equipment across four technology platforms — water electrolysis (alkaline), methanol steam reforming, natural gas steam reforming, and pressure swing adsorption (PSA) purification — at capacities from 50 Nm³/h up to 300,000 Nm³/h. It also sells modular green ammonia plants, integrated hydrogen production-and-refueling stations, hydrogen energy storage systems, and fuel cell backup power, and delivers full-scope EPC contracting, commissioning, and long-term O&M services for industrial, energy, and mobility customers in China and ~20 international markets.

Product overview

ALLY HI-TECH CO., LTD (四川亚联氢能科技股份有限公司) is a hydrogen production technology company with ~25 years of experience offering a comprehensive portfolio of hydrogen production, purification, and utilization equipment. The core product family centers on four main hydrogen production technology platforms: water electrolysis (水电解制氢), methanol reforming (甲醇制氢), natural gas steam reforming (天然气制氢), and PSA-based hydrogen purification (变压吸附氢气提纯). Supporting these core platforms, the company offers integrated stations (制氢加氢一体化站), modular green ammonia plants (模块化绿氨装置), hydrogen energy storage systems (氢储能系统), and hydrogen fuel cell backup power (氢能电源系统). The product portfolio extends through gas purification systems for CO, coke oven gas, biogas, food-grade CO₂, and syngas; as well as specialty components including catalysts, adsorbents, program-controlled valves, and a complete electrolyzer manufacturing ecosystem (电解制氢生产链). The portfolio follows a modular,撬装 design philosophy enabling rapid deployment across diverse scales (from 50 Nm³/h to 300,000 Nm³/h for PSA, and up to 60,000 Nm³/h for methanol reforming). The company has deployed over 700 hydrogen production units globally and recently expanded into green ammonia and green methanol for renewable energy integration.
