Exhibition Introduction
The Exhibition Value of the China International Hydrogen Energy and Fuel Cell Expo
- The Foshan Hydrogen Energy Expo (CHFE) is one of China’s largest and most prestigious specialized exhibitions dedicated to the hydrogen energy sector. Since its inception in 2017, the expo has been successfully held for nine consecutive editions, taking place concurrently with the China Hydrogen Energy Industry Conference. Organized by the China Center for International Economic and Technical Exchanges, and deeply rooted in Foshan’s Nanhai District—known as the “Hydrogen Energy Capital of China”—it has become the most authoritative and influential industry event in the field.
- The core value of participation lies in its platform‑based ability to precisely connect resources across the entire hydrogen energy value chain. CHFE covers every link in the hydrogen energy ecosystem—from production, storage, transportation, refueling, to end‑use applications—providing a one‑stop resource integration spanning from core components to final‑stage applications, and from technological innovation to real‑world deployment. The ninth edition in 2025 will bring together over 350 domestic and international companies, with an exhibition space of 21,000 square meters and attracting more than 20,000 professional visitors, including international delegates from 25 countries and regions, thereby offering exhibitors an efficient platform for business matchmaking.
- The expo has established an international trade platform that connects global markets, supporting enterprises in their overseas expansion strategies. In 2025, the event will welcome corporate delegations from the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea, the Netherlands, Chile, and other nations, who will present local hydrogen projects and market access policies on site. A dedicated International Business Exchange and Negotiation Session will be held, enabling more than 100 international buyer groups to engage in one‑on‑one discussions, thus providing exhibitors with targeted opportunities to expand into overseas markets. Companies such as Feichi Technology, Guohydro Technology, and Re-Fire Energy have leveraged the expo to showcase their global competitiveness; notably, Re-Fire Energy reported a year‑over‑year surge of 360.3% in its mid‑year overseas revenue in 2025.
- Keeping pace with the diversification of hydrogen application scenarios, the expo has created a hub for deep integration among industry, academia, research, and end‑users. The 2025 edition will feature three signature thematic sections: the Hydrogen Health and Hydrogen Technology Zone, highlighting everyday applications such as hydrogen water generators and medical‑grade hydrogen‑assisted devices; the Natural Gas–Hydrogen Blending Technology and Equipment Zone, focusing on emerging pathways for energy integration; and the Hydrogen‑Powered Vessel Zone, bringing hydrogen‑fuelled propulsion to aquatic environments. Concurrently, the expo will host high‑profile events like the HySpace Innovation Forum and the Hydrogen Listening Theater, convening leading experts and industry luminaries to share cutting‑edge advancements in key areas such as fuel cells and hydrogen production technologies.
- Leveraging the industrial cluster advantages of Foshan’s Nanhai District—the “Hydrogen Energy Capital of China”—the expo significantly enhances order conversion efficiency. Nanhai District is home to over 170 enterprises and institutions within the hydrogen energy value chain, forming a comprehensive industrial ecosystem that spans policy support, R&D, and demonstration projects. During the 2025 expo, the official launch ceremony for the “Nanhai Initiative” will take place, featuring the deployment of 100 hydrogen‑powered official vehicles, 1,000 hydrogen‑powered commercial vehicles, and 10,000 hydrogen‑powered two‑wheelers. Enterprises such as Zhongxin Hydrogen and Feichi Technology are actively participating in large‑scale demonstration projects.
- For Chinese enterprises, this expo serves as a strategic gateway to capture the development dividends of the 15th Five-Year Plan period, connect with international resources, and explore diversified application scenarios. As the hydrogen energy sector transitions from pilot demonstrations to large‑scale deployment, CHFE, backed by a decade of industry experience, provides exhibitors with end‑to‑end services—from technology showcases and supply‑demand matching to order fulfillment—helping them seize early opportunities in the trillion‑yuan hydrogen energy market.
