Driving the Global Clean Hydrogen Transformation Together
Visionary Keynote by Pinfang Wu, “Father of Hydrogen in China”,
Honorary Co-Chair of CBC Hydrogen Hub, Chairman at Guofuhee
As the global clean energy transformation accelerates, hydrogen has emerged as a cornerstone of this transformation.
At Guofuhee, we have dedicated our efforts to advancing clean hydrogen technology, contributing to China’s hydrogen rise and growth, and now expanding this vision globally. Our mission aligns with the CleanTech Business Club (CBC) philosophy of collaboration under the banner of #TogetherWeAreStronger, working to create a thriving global clean hydrogen ecosystem.
The Path to Global Collaboration
To achieve a global clean hydrogen transformation, we shall:
-
Promote Joint Ventures and Partnerships: Establish local manufacturing hubs through strategic joint ventures, like Go For Hydrogen Africa (GFHA) in Morocco, where Guofuhee collaborates with CBC, European, and African stakeholders to foster a robust clean hydrogen value chain.
-
Develop Skilled Workforces: Empower engineers and technicians worldwide by establishing Joint Centers of Excellence, such as our collaboration with École Hassania des Travaux Publics (EHTP) and GFHA to create a Clean Hydrogen Center of Excellence in Casablanca, ensuring that young generation is equipped with the expertise to drive clean hydrogen innovations.
-
Foster Cross-Industry Collaboration: Unite stakeholders across industries to create comprehensive solutions, integrating hydrogen production, storage, and mobility technologies for a holistic approach to sustainability.
Building a Sustainable Future Together
Guofuhee’s unique position in the hydrogen industry enables us to contribute across the entire value chain—from advanced electrolyser production to hydrogen storage, liquefaction, refueling stations and mobility solutions. However, this journey is not about competition; it is about partnership. By leveraging our collective strengths, we can:
-
Lower the Cost of Hydrogen Solutions: Make clean hydrogen technologies more accessible through innovation and economies of scale.
-
Accelerate Technological Advancement: Share research findings, patents, and best practices to fast-track progress.
-
Create Regional Hubs of Excellence: Build ecosystems that foster research, development, and localised production capabilities, ensuring economic growth and sustainability.
A Shared Vision for the Future
We are only at the beginning of the clean hydrogen transformation. The path ahead requires unwavering cooperation, mutual support, and a shared commitment to a cleaner planet. Let us see each other not as competitors but as partners on this transformative journey.
At Guofuhee, we believe that our collaborative efforts will pave the way for a brighter future. Together, we can build an interconnected global network that benefits our industries, our communities, and future generations.
A Call to Action
In this defining moment for clean energy, I extend an invitation to all stakeholders to join us in our mission.
Let us break down barriers, share knowledge, and work hand-in-hand across borders to create a sustainable and prosperous world. #TogetherWeAreStronger !
