On 7 January 2026, Wei Suo, President of the Hydrogen Branch of the China Industrial Promotion Association, led a delegation to Hefei Yingrui High-Tech New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. for a special hydrogen-industry study and exchange. YR High-Tech founder and chairman Huang Xinchun and founder and CEO Song Banghong accompanied the visit and attended the symposium. The two sides held in-depth exchanges on core hydrogen technology R&D, market application expansion and industry trends, building consensus for the coordinated development of the hydrogen industry.
During the visit, President Wei Suo and the delegation toured YR High-Tech's product exhibition centre and technology hall, learning in detail about the company's technical results in hydrogen core components, electrolysis catalyst electrodes and new-material R&D. At the display, Song Banghong introduced the company's history, core product layout and market expansion. He said the hydrogen industry is now accelerating, with national strategic support and cross-sector application demand creating significant room for growth; since entering hydrogen, YR High-Tech has built up a number of core technical results, with customers covering hydrogen equipment manufacturing, energy and chemicals and other fields. The company will continue to optimise its product system in line with market demand and further expand its business.
At the symposium, Chairman Huang Xinchun spoke on the current state of technology R&D and industrial application. He noted that the hydrogen industry still needs to overcome core material performance challenges, and downstream application scenarios need further expansion, which to some extent constrains scaled development; the development of power resources in the northwest and the combination of hydrogen production and storage there have good prospects, and overseas practices in building integrated power-and-hydrogen industrial bases can offer useful reference for China's hydrogen industry. He said YR High-Tech will continue to deepen R&D in hydrogen core materials, optimise technical solutions in line with downstream demand, explore a coordinated development path between hydrogen and the northwest's new-energy power system, and help with hydrogen consumption and project implementation.
President Wei Suo affirmed YR High-Tech's R&D strength and market layout. He said the hydrogen industry is at a key stage of technology iteration and commercial cultivation, where core technology breakthroughs and market expansion are important drivers. The Hydrogen Branch of the China Industrial Promotion Association will give full play to its role as a platform link, advancing industry-standard discussions, integrating industry-academia-research resources and facilitating government-enterprise communication, and helping enterprises access the technology, market and policy resources they need. He also suggested that YR High-Tech continue to focus on core material innovation, strengthen collaboration across the industrial chain, seize the strategic window for hydrogen development, and promote the common development of the enterprise and the industry.
The visit built a bridge for in-depth communication between the industry association and the enterprise, helping the association understand the needs of hydrogen companies and the industry's pain points, and giving YR High-Tech clarity on its future direction and resource connections. Going forward, YR High-Tech will continue to put technological innovation at its core and accelerate the industrial application of hydrogen core materials, while the Hydrogen Branch of the China Industrial Promotion Association will keep fulfilling its industry-service role and help China's hydrogen industry achieve scaled, high-quality development.
