Gide has advised Air Liquide, a world leader in gases, technologies and services for industry and health, on the creation of a joint venture with Chengdu Huaqi Houpu Holding Co., Ltd. (“Houpu”) to develop hydrogen refilling stations for fuel cell electric vehicles.
The joint venture, Air Liquide Houpu Hydrogen Equipment Co., Ltd., will enable the companies to develop projects together with a view to promote the development of a network of hydrogen stations in China. The collaboration will combine Air Liquide’s global technological expertise in clean hydrogen mobility solutions with Houpu’s leadership in the production and construction of natural gas refilling stations in the Chinese market.
It is also aligned with the Chinese government’s 13th Five-Year Plan, which aims to support clean transportation, including through the development and sale of fuel cell electric vehicles.
The Gide team was led by partner David Boitout, with the assistance of associate Li Jing.
