On April 9, Li Diansheng, Director of the Standing Committee of the Xiyi Municipal People’s Congress, and Zheng Peng, Chairman of the Board and President of Pengfei Group, met with a delegation led by Huang Zhizhong, President of the Shandong Institute of Advanced Science and Technology Engineering. The three parties held an exchange and discussion on cooperation regarding the Pengwan Hydrogen Port Industrial Park project.

At the meeting, after gaining an overview of the Pengfei Hydrogen Energy project, Huang Zhizhong, drawing on insights into China–U.S. trade dynamics, the prospects for hydrogen energy development, and policy trends, outlined the institute’s technological strengths in solid‑state hydrogen conversion, highlighting its safety advantages and competitive edge over conventional gaseous and liquid hydrogen, as well as the key areas where collaboration between the two parties is needed.

Chairman Zheng Peng stated that Pengfei has already established a comprehensive roadmap for the development of the hydrogen energy industry, covering hydrogen production, storage, transportation, utilization, and hydrogen‑powered vehicle equipment. He expressed his hope that the world’s first Pengfei‑branded hydrogen‑fuel‑cell freight truck would be unveiled in Xiaoyi. The immediate priority is for the institute to assist Pengfei in having its planned pathways and technical solutions rigorously reviewed and validated by leading experts, thereby leveraging the respective strengths of both parties to create even greater synergies—advancing one component at a time as it matures—to ensure the project’s successful implementation and fruition.

Li Diansheng expressed strong confidence in the collaboration between the real economy and research institutions, while emphasizing that new‑industry projects must seize market opportunities. He analyzed the price trends of Pengfei’s LNG project before and after its commissioning, as well as current pricing, and urged all stakeholders to swiftly move forward with the implementation of hydrogen energy as Xiaoyi’s distinctive emerging industrial base, bringing it into a substantive phase.

At present, a new wave of energy transformation—driven by green practices, low carbon emissions, diversification, efficiency, and smart technologies—is gaining momentum. Pengfei’s strategic positioning in the hydrogen‑energy sector aligns with the global trend of the energy revolution. By seizing opportunities and acting in concert with prevailing trends, it has positioned itself at the forefront of this era, poised to inject fresh vitality into Shanxi—a traditional energy hub—and to provide robust impetus for the nationwide energy transition.

Wu Jianfei, Deputy Director of the Shanxi Branch of the Shandong Academy of Sciences and Assistant Director of the Xiaoyi Economic Development Zone Management Committee; Liu Xuewei and Huang Qian, Vice Presidents of the Shandong Academy of Sciences; Wang Jun, Chairman of Jiatong Hongwan; Qiu Xiaohong, a Chinese investor; and Wang Wenge, Director of the Hydrogen Technology Research Center at Tsinghua University’s High-Tech R&D and Promotion Department, among other leaders, attended the symposium.
