Chinese electrolyser manufacturers are now supplying equipment directly to large-scale green hydrogen projects in the Middle East — a development that significantly shortens the supply chain for markets like the UAE.
In one of the most significant recent examples, Chinese-manufactured electrolysers were shipped to a 300MW green hydrogen project in the region, marking a new milestone in the direct integration of Chinese manufacturing into Gulf energy infrastructure. Separately, Chinese manufacturer Sungrow deployed 160MW of alkaline electrolysis systems at Oman’s Special Economic Zone at Duqm for a green ammonia facility — directly adjacent to UAE supply networks.
China now controls nearly 60% of global electrolyser manufacturing capacity, and is producing equipment at a cost and scale that no other country can match. Its five-year plan for 2026–2030 explicitly supports the clean hydrogen industry, with targets for 50,000 hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles and 2,000 refuelling stations by 2035.
Ultra Energy works with evaluated Chinese suppliers as part of a global supply chain assessment process. This means our clients in the UAE benefit from the world’s most cost-competitive hydrogen technology — without the complexity of navigating that supply chain independently. As Chinese manufacturers increase their Middle East presence, sourcing reliable, quality-evaluated equipment becomes both easier and more critical.
