Under the guidance of the "dual carbon" goals, the global energy transition has provided unprecedented development opportunities for hydrogen energy and energy storage batteries. With the increasing demand for precision processing, laser technology has become a key driver of upgrades in the clean energy industry. Leveraging its deep technical expertise and industry experience, HGTECH has made breakthroughs in the fields of hydrogen electrolyzers and energy storage battery laser processing, injecting intelligence and automation into high-end manufacturing. By integrating "Laser + Intelligence," HGTECH is fully empowering the high-quality development of the clean energy industry.
Hydrogen Energy: Full-Spectrum Manufacturing
As a core part of the future clean energy system, the precision and intelligence of hydrogen production through electrolyzers play a decisive role in hydrogen production efficiency and cost. HGTECH is riding this trend and has implemented a full-chain layout in the hydrogen energy industry, offering complete solutions from intelligent individual machines to automated production lines and smart factories, becoming an innovator and leader in the industry.
In the electrolyzer technology sector, HGTECH has successfully covered four major mainstream technological routes: Alkaline Electrolyzer (ALK), Proton Exchange Membrane Electrolyzer (PEM), Solid Oxide Electrolyzer Cell (SOEC), and Anion Exchange Membrane Electrolyzer (AEM), forming a full-process layout from key component processing to final assembly. Specifically, the alkaline electrolyzer production line supports specifications ranging from 500 to 1500Nm³/h, which can support GW-level production capacity. The PEM electrolyzer has achieved automated titanium felt cutting and stacking, the SOEC electrolyzer has overcome ceramic cutting and electrode plate welding technologies, and the AEM electrolyzer has achieved customized development in disc welding and stacking assembly.
The GW-level alkaline electrolyzer fully automated production line, co-developed by HGTECH, was officially put into use in 2024, becoming an industry benchmark for intelligent manufacturing. The goal of this project is to achieve an initial capacity of 1GW, with a long-term plan to reach 4GW. Its "4 100%" intelligent manufacturing standards-fully automated, self-assessed quality, product digitization, and information sharing-allow for intelligent management of every step of the production process. The adoption of laser welding to replace traditional gas-shielded welding has improved production efficiency by 40%, with a yield rate exceeding 99.5%.
Energy Storage: Precision Laser Solutions
With the rapid growth of the global energy storage market, the demand for processing precision and production efficiency of core components in energy storage batteries is rising. HGTECH focuses on four key areas: battery cells, modules, packs, and cold plates, offering full-process automation solutions, including laser welding, cutting, and cleaning. In 2025, HGTECH plans to launch its first intelligent equipment for laser welding of power battery cold plates, achieving several technological breakthroughs.
Cold plates are core components in battery thermal management systems, and the quality of their welding directly affects the safety and endurance of batteries. Facing technical challenges such as high reflection from aluminum materials and micro-channel sealing, HGTECH has introduced a new laser welding equipment for power battery cold plates. With beam energy control technology, it has successfully overcome several technical bottlenecks. Seven major technological innovations include: adaptive energy control solving the problem of aluminum's high reflectivity, achieving a weld depth-to-width ratio of 10:1; an AI melt pool monitoring system that enables closed-loop feedback, improving the yield rate to 99%; supporting board thicknesses from 0.2mm to 8mm, with welding speeds up to 15m/min; a heat-affected zone smaller than 0.1mm, meeting micro-channel sealing requirements; precise positioning and synchronized cooling to ensure welding stability; two-dimensional drawings directly generate welding codes to support both research and large-scale production; and green, low-carbon manufacturing replacing traditional brazing.
This equipment will assist the cold plate manufacturing market, with the power battery cold plate market in the new energy vehicle sector expected to reach 7 billion yuan by 2026, and the demand in the energy storage sector surpassing 1.1 billion yuan. HGTECH is poised to take a leading position in this market boom.
