Beijing FirstGen Hydrogen Energy Technology Co., Ltd. — commonly referred to as FirstGen Green Energy — is a China-based hydrogen and Power-to-X project company focused on the development, equity investment and commercialisation of green hydrogen and its derivatives, including green ammonia, green methanol, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and green hydrogen.
FirstGen operates in strategic cooperation with China Energy Engineering Group Hydrogen Energy Co., Ltd. ("CEEHE"), the hydrogen-focused subsidiary of China Energy Engineering Corporation.
Through this cooperation, FirstGen is an equity partner of CEEHE in each green hydrogen and Power-to-X project — including green ammonia, green methanol, SAF and green hydrogen — positioning it as a core strategic investor with preferential commercial rights, including priority access and first right of consideration, to each project's allocation and offtake quota.
Same shareholders, same team, unified decision-making — split across a domestic development entity and an overseas-trading entity.
Domestic & overseas project development, project investment, construction and operation.
Global trade, market offtake, long-term agreement execution and international client engagement — the overseas offtake channel for FirstGen-backed green hydrogen, ammonia, methanol and SAF volumes.
CEEHE is the hydrogen-focused subsidiary of China Energy Engineering Corporation, a central state-owned enterprise (SOE) under the supervision of China's State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) and one of the largest and most influential energy engineering and infrastructure groups in China, as well as a leading global energy contractor.
As part of that group, CEEHE leads on green hydrogen and green ammonia project development and investment, drawing on the parent group's presence across the entire energy value chain — power generation, grid and transmission systems, renewable energy, energy storage, carbon-reduction and CCS solutions, as well as EPC, BOT, BOO and project-financing models. The wider group operates in more than 140 countries and regions, serving governments, national utilities and multinational energy companies worldwide.
