The service station in the city of Foshan of Guangdong province has a daily hydrogen-filling capacity of 500 kg, Sinopec said on its website. The station is intended mainly for the service of hydrogen-powered buses and trucking fleets.
It takes four minutes to fill the hydrogen tank for a bus with enough fuel to travel 300 km.
This is part of a national plan to build 1,000 hydrogen pumping stations across the country to supply one million hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles by 2030, the state energy firm said.
Sinopec Group is parent of Sinopec Corp , Asia’s largest oil refiner and retail fuel operator.
