Refire Technology

REFIRE (重塑科技), also presented as Refire Group, is a Chinese hydrogen-electric energy and power technology company founded in 2015 by a group of engineers with the shared aim of advancing hydrogen energy and accelerating fuel cell applications. Headquartered in Shanghai, the company describes itself as a designer, tester, prototyper, application engineer and large-scale manufacturer across both upstream E2H (Electricity to Hydrogen) and downstream H2E (Hydrogen to Electricity) hydrogen technologies. Its product families span PEM and alkaline electrolysers, electrode materials, hydrogen-electric power products, fuel cell systems and fuel cell stacks. REFIRE positions itself as a commercial zero-emissions hydrogen technology deployer with a global footprint in North America, Europe and Asia. Its fuel cell systems are used to replace combustion engines in mobility applications and to provide stationary power in microgrids, chargers and gensets, while its electrolysers convert renewable electricity into clean hydrogen for storage and transport of energy. The company states that its hydrogen fuel cell systems had powered over 5,900 fuel cell vehicles on the road in China as of May 31, 2024, and reports more than 6,100 vehicles in operation, over 270 million kilometres driven and more than 150,000 tonnes of CO2 saved as of December 31, 2024. The brand's stated vision is a future in which zero-emission hydrogen-electric mobility and power help address pollution and climate challenges. REFIRE emphasises values of constant evolution, ecological responsibility and a pioneering spirit, and frames its work around partnerships with existing energy, power and mobility infrastructure, targeting the most polluting sectors first. Its product line-up includes the Prisma fuel cell system series, PRISMA fuel cell stacks, POLARIS, ELECTRA and SIRIUS products, and PEM and ALK electrodes.

REFIRE was founded in 2015, when a group of engineers came together with the shared dream of propelling the development of hydrogen energy and accelerating the application of fuel cells. From the outset the company set out to get things moving as quickly as possible, building partnerships and working with existing energy, power and mobility infrastructure, and tackling the most polluting sectors first. Over the following years REFIRE developed a technology portfolio spanning both directions of the hydrogen value chain: upstream E2H (Electricity to Hydrogen) and downstream H2E (Hydrogen to Electricity). This includes PEM and alkaline electrolysers, electrode materials, hydrogen-electric power products, fuel cell systems and fuel cell stacks. The company describes itself as specialising in designing, testing, prototyping, application engineering and manufacturing at scale for these technologies. By May 31, 2024, REFIRE reported that its hydrogen fuel cell systems had powered over 5,900 fuel cell vehicles on the road in China. By December 31, 2024, the company reported more than 6,100 vehicles in operation, over 270 million kilometres driven and more than 150,000 tonnes of CO2 saved. It also anticipated that by 2025 the total number of FCEVs in operation would be around 50,000 units. REFIRE presents itself as having a global footprint in North America, Europe and Asia, and as the world's leading deployer of commercial zero-emissions hydrogen technologies. Its product line-up has grown to include the Prisma fuel cell system series, PRISMA fuel cell stacks, POLARIS, ELECTRA and SIRIUS products, and PEM and ALK electrodes.
