Lüliang, particularly Xiaoyi, is rich in coal, coke, and natural gas resources. I believe it enjoys uniquely favorable conditions for developing the hydrogen energy industry, and has already seen the emergence of strong enterprises like Pengfei. Moving forward, we must coordinate the market deployment of the hydrogen energy sector, accelerate the development of hydrogen‑related infrastructure—especially its applications in transportation, energy storage, and logistics—and vigorously advance the entire value chain, encompassing production, storage, transportation, refueling, and related industries.

China Energy News is an information‑dissemination platform that supports the nation’s energy strategy, energy policies, and macro‑management, and it is also China’s first media outlet dedicated to and serving the entire energy industry chain.

Li Tongxin stated that China Energy News will actively serve as a media bridge, telling compelling energy stories to rally industry stakeholders, foster cross-sector collaboration, and sustain the positive influence of public discourse. Through comprehensive and in-depth reporting, the publication will help advance the energy transition and promote the healthy, orderly development of the hydrogen energy sector.

As media professionals, we have both the responsibility and the obligation to strengthen the soft power of public discourse. Through diverse formats—such as policy briefings, in-depth features, and investigative reporting—we can provide crucial public‑opinion guidance to support the energy sector’s transformation and the high‑quality development of the hydrogen economy, thereby bolstering the hard‑power capabilities of the hydrogen industry.

Following Li Yongsheng, a member of the Standing Committee of the Xiaoyi Municipal Party Committee and Executive Vice Mayor, who presented an overview of Xiaoyi’s economic development, participating enterprises—including Rongwu International Investment Group, Chate Cryogenic Engineering Systems Changzhou Co., Ltd., and the Visin (China) Postdoctoral Workstation—delivered remarks and engaged in exchanges.

Chairman Zheng Peng, drawing on Pengfei Group’s logistical and cost advantages in hydrogen‑energy development, outlined the company’s strategic roadmap for the hydrogen‑energy industry. He noted that Pengfei Group’s hydrogen‑powered heavy‑duty trucks have successfully completed trial runs, with excellent overall energy efficiency. Looking ahead to their real‑world deployment, he urged the media, business leaders, and officials at all levels present to promptly engage with Pengfei in discussions and collaborations whenever new technologies emerge—whether in application, R&D, or discovery—so that the latest innovations can be swiftly integrated into the Pengwan Hydrogen Port, jointly shaping the future of hydrogen‑energy development.
