Shell to develop hydrogen refuelling network in Shanghai
Oil major agrees to form joint venture with local state-owned Shenergy to install up to ten stations by 2027
Shell has set out plans to expand its presence in China’s growing low-carbon hydrogen market by developing a truck and bus refuelling network in Shanghai and the Yangzte River Delta under a joint venture with local state-owned energy company Shenergy.
