Zhejiang Hydrogen Technology

Zhejiang Hydrogen Technology Co., Ltd. (also known as Hydrot) is a high-tech enterprise established in November 2017, specializing in the development and application of lightweight and highly adaptable fuel cells. The company was co-founded by Haili Liu, a talent introduced from overseas, along with fuel cell experts from the team of Academician Bao-lian Yi of the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Liu, a graduate of Beihang University and the University of Utah, has a background in management positions at large overseas companies like Infineon Qimonda and Dominion Energy.

Hydrot focuses on developing lightweight fuel cell systems with high energy density and low hydrogen consumption. The company's business model centers on providing hydrogen power solutions across four main sectors: aviation, mobile power, small vehicles, and marine applications. Their product line includes air-cooled fuel cells, PEM hydrogen electrolyzers, hydrogen-powered drones, electric bikes, and portable power generators. Their clients include prominent enterprises such as the State Grid, Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC), China Helicopter Research and Development Institute, DJI, and Meituan. The company has received A-round and A+-round funding, with investors including Weiguang Ventures, and aims to use the capital for further research and development and to establish automated production lines for its fuel cells.

The company's strategy involves initially targeting the aviation power sector to leverage the high energy density of hydrogen systems, and then expanding into independent applications like mobile power and small vehicles that do not rely heavily on existing hydrogen infrastructure. Hydrot has developed hydrogen-powered drones for specialized tasks like power grid inspections and has partnered with companies like Kaiyun Motors to provide hydrogen power solutions for small logistics vehicles. Their products have received certifications from various bodies, including the CNAS laboratories and the Shanghai Automotive Inspection Center.
