On August 11, the National Energy Administration officially released the "China Hydrogen Energy Development Report (2026)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report"), which comprehensively sorted out and prospected the development status, technological breakthroughs and future paths of China's hydrogen energy industry.The "Report" also looks forward to the "15th Five-Year Plan", and proposes to take the breakthrough of industrial scale and application scenarios as the main goal, coordinate and promote the synergy of the whole chain of hydrogen energy "production, storage and transportation", and initially establish a relatively complete hydrogen energy industry technology innovation system.This top-level design sends a clear and powerful signal - the hydrogen industry is moving from demonstration operations to a critical window of scale. The release of the Report not only marks a new stage in China's hydrogen energy industry from pilot demonstration to large-scale development, but also points out the way forward for upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain.As a cultivator of the domestic diaphragm compressor sector, Zhongding Hengsheng is deeply integrated into the overall situation of national hydrogen energy development with dual approach of core technology equipment and innovative service mode.

Hydrogen "heart": diaphragm compressors throughout the industry chain
The industry is accelerating, and equipment must keep up. As the "heart" equipment of the hydrogen energy industry, the importance of diaphragm compressors is becoming more and more prominent. In the green hydrogen preparation process, it can achieve zero leakage hydrogen transmission under high pressure environment to ensure that the high-purity hydrogen produced by the electrolyzer is not polluted during the pressurization process; in the hydrogen storage process, it is the core power source that efficiently pressurizes hydrogen into the hydrogen storage vessel, adapting to the pressure requirements of various technical routes such as high-pressure gaseous hydrogen storage and solid hydrogen storage; in the long-distance hydrogen transmission process, it can provide stable pressurization power for pipeline hydrogen transmission and support the landing of cross-regional hydrogen transmission projects such as "West to East"; in the terminal hydrogen refueling process, it is the core equipment of the hydrogen refueling station, which directly determines the hydrogen refueling efficiency and the safety of the hydrogen refueling process.

Deeply cultivate the track for many years and resonate with the national hydrogen energy strategy
Since its establishment, Zhongding Hengsheng has always focused on the research and development and industrial application of diaphragm compressor technology, and has accumulated deep technical heritage and project experience in the field of hydrogen energy.The company closely follows the national policy orientation and actively responds to the deployment of "improving the level of autonomy of key equipment" and "promoting the high-quality development of hydrogen energy infrastructure" in the "Report".Continuously overcome technical bottlenecks such as large displacement, high pressure, and long life, and the products have been widely used in many national hydrogen energy demonstration projects and commercial hydrogen refueling stations in China, achieving a leap from "following" to "running together" and even some "leading".

Innovative launch of "hydrogen refueling equipment leasing" to crack industry pain points
Faced with the new blueprint for the development of hydrogen energy described in the "Report", Zhongding Hengsheng is not only committed to providing diaphragm compressor solutions that meet national standards and adapt to multiple scenarios, but also actively think about how to reduce the industry access threshold, ease the initial investment pressure of downstream users, and promote the smooth transition of the hydrogen energy industry from "policy-driven" to "market-driven".
In addition to the traditional equipment sales model, Zhongding Hengsheng has a keen insight into the current practical problems in the construction and operation of hydrogen refueling stations: large upfront investment, fluctuating equipment utilization rate, strong operation and maintenance expertise, and long capital recovery cycle. To this end, the company innovatively launched the "hydrogen refueling equipment leasing" service model, transforming the core equipment such as diaphragm compressors from "asset purchase" to "paid lease".

The industrial tide is rushing forward, and domestic equipment is promising. The prospect of "initially establishing a relatively complete hydrogen energy industry technology innovation system" in the Report forms a resonance with the practice of "deepening the field of hydrogen energy equipment for a long time and promoting the large-scale application of domestic hydrogen energy equipment" in Zhongding Hengsheng.
Standing at a new historical starting point, Zhongding Hengsheng will continue to take the diaphragm compressor as the core fulcrum. On the one hand, it will consolidate the foundation of high-end equipment manufacturing, and on the other hand, it will expand the new boundaries of service-oriented manufacturing. Through the combination of "hard core technology + innovative service", it will effectively solve the industry's pain points and help the national hydrogen energy strategy to take root and flourish.
