November 11, 2026 — A delegation led by Matthew York, President of Acwa Operations, visited Baoshilai New Material Technology (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. (Baoshilai), a member company of the Hydrogen  Branch of the China Association for the Promotion of Industrial Development (CAPID). The delegation met with Baoshilai’s management and technical teams to discuss developments in the global green hydrogen industry, key components for water electrolysis-based hydrogen production, and potential technical collaboration.

Following a tour of Baoshilai’s facilities and technical discussions, the delegation praised the company’s sustained investment in R&D, strong technical expertise and independent innovation capabilities.

During the meeting, the delegation also outlined ACWA Power’s global green hydrogen project portfolio. The NEOM Green Hydrogen Project in Saudi Arabia is being developed by NEOM Green Hydrogen Company (NGHC), a joint venture between ACWA Power, Air Products and NEOM. ACWA Power is also advancing the Yanbu Green Hydrogen Hub, a major green hydrogen and ammonia production and export project in Saudi Arabia.

Against the backdrop of growing demand for large-scale green hydrogen projects, the two sides explored potential long-term cooperation in the supply of key water electrolysis components and the joint validation of emerging technologies.

ACWA Power brings extensive experience in developing and operating large-scale energy projects worldwide, while Baoshilai specializes in the R&D and manufacturing of key materials for hydrogen production. Both sides aim to strengthen technical exchanges and align supply capabilities with project requirements, with a view to integrating Baoshilai into the supply chain for ACWA Power’s global green hydrogen projects.

The visit opened a channel for regular communication between the two companies and laid the groundwork for potential future cooperation.

Baoshilai said it would continue to prioritize technological innovation and provide reliable products to meet the needs of major overseas green hydrogen projects. The company also plans to work with partners across the global industry chain to support the large-scale, high-quality development of the green hydrogen sector.
