In early 2025, the R&D laboratory of CNGR New Hydrogen was officially put into use. Just half a year later, the two electrode products developed by this laboratory reached the advanced level of the industry and successfully completed the delivery of the first set of orders. Behind this efficient breakthrough lies the deep integration of CNGR New Hydrogen in its R&D system, technical team and market expansion.

Technological Breakthrough: From High-level Planning to High-quality Outcomes

The development of the green hydrogen industry is highly dependent on the improvement of hydrogen production efficiency through water electrolysis, and electrodes are the core materials that determine the efficiency. Facing this technological high ground and fierce market competition, CNGR New Hydrogen has set the development goal of leading the industry since its establishment.

In 2024, CNGR New Hydrogen was registered and established, taking the lead in forming a research and development team with PHDS from domestic and foreign universities as the core. At that time, the laboratory had not yet been completed, so the project team relied on external resources to carry out preliminary research and development and sample testing, racing against time for technological breakthroughs. After the laboratory is put into use in early 2025, the research and development work will enter a stage of rapid iteration.

With solid early-stage accumulation and an efficient R&D process, the team completed the optimization and evaluation loop from laboratory samples to full-scale products in a short period of time. The two products received high praise from customers for reaching the TOP level in the industry in key performance indicators, achieving a leap towards advanced technology in the industry and laying a solid foundation for moving towards industry leadership.

System innovation: A research and development layout of "applying one generation, reserving one generation, and pre-researching one generation"

The continuous progress of technology cannot be achieved without the support of a forward-looking R&D system. Relying on CNGR's R&D advantages in the field of new materials, CNGR New Hydrogen has established a three-dimensional R&D system of "applying one generation, reserving one generation, and pre-researching one generation" to ensure the sustainability of technological innovation.

Under this system, we not only focus on the mature products of the current first-of-a-kind applications, but also simultaneously lay out multiple technical routes. The team is simultaneously conducting electrode research and development along different process paths, forming a rich and well-structured product reserve, and is fully prepared to meet the high-end demands of the market. A person in charge of R&D at CNGR New Hydrogen said.

More importantly, this system has always adhered to a customer demand-oriented approach and targeted the pain points of the industry. The R&D team maintains close interaction with leading customers. Through multiple rounds of technical exchanges and sample testing, they directly feed back customer demands to the formula optimization and process adjustment stages, ensuring that the products are highly consistent with customer needs.

Teamwork: Customer-centric fulfillment of delivery commitments

The delivery period of the first set of orders falls in the height of summer, with tight schedules, heavy tasks and high quality standards, which is a severe test of the team's extreme combat capabilities.

Facing the challenges, all R&D and production personnel adopted a two-shift work system, working from dawn till late at night. R&d personnel threw themselves into the production frontline, conducting tests while manufacturing. Everyone worked together with one heart to ensure a seamless delivery process.

This all-out commitment centered on the customer eventually translates into the perfect fulfillment of the promise. CNGR New Hydrogen not only completed the delivery on time and with quality, but also deeply touched the customer with its professional service spirit, laying a solid foundation for long-term cooperation in the future.

Market Breakthrough: From "Zero to One" to Industry recognition

The successful delivery of the first set of orders this time is of milestone significance to CNGR New Hydrogen. It marks the company's electrode products achieving a breakthrough from "zero to one" in the market, especially obtaining the opportunity to be applied in overseas high-performance hydrogen production projects, and the brand's influence has begun to emerge.

Against the backdrop of the previous competition among over twenty or thirty enterprises, this breakthrough significantly enhanced the brand awareness of CNGR New Hydrogen within the industry. The definition of CNGR New Hydrogen by industry clients has transformed from a newcomer in the industry to a high-quality partner.

Winning the trust of customers is not achieved overnight. From small samples, medium samples to large samples, from product evaluation to technical exchanges, CNGR New Hydrogen adheres to the ultimate pursuit of "material perfection" and the innovative spirit of "technology for greatness". The performance of each sample exceeds the expected indicators, and every technical exchange demonstrates professional support. Eventually, it has won the recognition and orders of customers.

At present, end users have increasingly strict requirements for the performance of key components such as electrodes. The products of CNGR New Hydrogen are gradually gaining wide recognition from leading customers in the industry, thanks to reliable test data and application verification.

Looking to the future: Focusing on the green hydrogen track and facilitating energy transformation

The overseas market demand is strong, and domestic projects are advancing steadily. Under the dual drive of "policy support and market demand", the green hydrogen industry is moving towards a fast development track, and the trillion-yuan industrial blue ocean is accelerating its expansion.

Facing this historic opportunity, CNGR New Hydrogen has made a name for itself in the field of green hydrogen materials with its dual breakthroughs in technology and market achieved through the successful delivery of the first set of orders. This is not only a victory for the product, but also verifies that the complete chain from technology research and development to market application has been fully connected.

Only when the sand is washed away by the waves can the gold be seen. Only enterprises with solid technological strength can stand at the forefront of the tide. In the future, CNGR New Hydrogen will join hands with its partners to continuously deepen research and development, be committed to the update and iteration of products, and constantly promote the improvement of the performance and long-term safety and reliability of electrolyzers, making substantive contributions to building a clean and low-carbon global energy system.
