中石化北方能源（大连）有限公司 is a limited liability company incorporated in 2017 and headquartered in Dalian, Liaoning Province, China. It was established as a joint venture between China Sinopec Fuel Oil Sales Co., Ltd. and partners associated with the Dalian Free Trade Zone, operating as part of the broader Sinopec Group.
The company engages in the sale and distribution of petroleum products, lubricants, chemical products, and related goods. Its core activities center on integrated energy services, including the operation of multi-functional energy stations that combine hydrogen refueling, conventional fuels (gasoline, diesel), LNG, electric vehicle charging, and convenience retail services.
A notable focus is hydrogen energy infrastructure. The company has developed and deployed China’s first distributed methanol-to-hydrogen production unit (500 Nm³/h capacity) at its Dalian facilities, enabling on-site, high-purity hydrogen generation (99.999%) for fuel cell vehicles. This technology supports integrated “five-in-one” stations that reduce hydrogen supply chain costs by over 20% compared to traditional methods.
It operates primarily in Dalian and maintains branches or stations in the region, contributing to local hydrogen demonstration projects, including refueling for buses and other vehicles. The company plays an innovative role in advancing low-cost hydrogen solutions and new energy applications within China’s petrochemical and energy sectors.
Also known as 中石化北方能源公司 and Sinopec Northern Energy Dalian.
Five technologies, including a 10 kW assembled aluminum‑air emergency power unit and a 500 standard m3/h methanol‑to‑hydrogen unit, were among 90 national selections.
