Ouhua Energy is strategically based in Chaozhou City, Guangdong Province, the “Ceramics Capital” of the PRC. Production of ceramics relies heavily on LPG. Ouhua Energy captures over 40% of local market share.

Ouhua Energy is equipped with a comprehensive suite of production facilities, including over 100,000 cubic metres of LPG storage facilities, and a current annual LPG production capacity of 900,000 tonnes. These facilities are well located in a prime waterfront area supported by wharves that enable the Group to serve diverse markets beyond a geographical radius of 500 kilometres by land and 300 kilometres across the sea.
As a licensed tier-one LPG distributor, the Group is focusing its efforts on developing the LPG retail chain, including the construction of urban gas pipeline system. Moving towards a green, low-carbon emission economy environment, LPG is a clean energy and can be widely used in commercial vehicles. The Group is also committed to exploring the market in LPG-filling gas station and the production of dimethyl ether(“DME”), to further integrate advanced technology into our operations and extend product chain which utilises the raw materials we retain competitive edge in imports to cultivate solid strength.
