The thematic research group on the high-quality development of the energy and chemical industries in the Yellow River Basin visited Pengfei.

On the afternoon of April 11, a 14-member research delegation on the high-quality development of the energy and chemical industries in the Yellow River Basin, led by Cui Xuejun, Party Secretary and Chairman of China Chemical Industry News Co., Ltd., visited Pengfei Group. The delegation held an exchange meeting with Zheng Peng, Chairman of the Board and President, to discuss the high-quality development of the energy and chemical sectors and explore future cooperation. Relevant business leaders from Pengfei Group attended the session.

China Chemical Industry News is an industry daily newspaper under the supervision of the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation. It focuses on news and information related to the petroleum and chemical industries, serving as the primary platform for public discourse in the national petrochemical sector.

Wei Liqiong, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of China Chemical Industry News, outlined the activities of the research delegation and provided an overview of the newspaper’s current media landscape, supporting systems, strategic positioning, and operational platforms. She emphasized that the purpose of this调研 is to thoroughly identify and highlight Pengfei Group’s exemplary practices in green, low-carbon, and high-quality development, pool resources and expertise from multiple stakeholders, co‑create a thriving ecosystem, and foster a robust network of partnerships.

A responsible official from Pengfei Group reported on the company’s achievements and exemplary practices in advancing ecological and environmental protection, green development, high-quality growth, and regional coordinated development, as well as the challenges and difficulties it has encountered in its development and its aspirations and recommendations for future progress.

Cui Xuejun and Zheng Peng signed a comprehensive strategic cooperation agreement on behalf of their respective parties. Under the agreement, both sides will leverage their respective strengths, further deepen collaboration, forge a powerful partnership, and jointly create and share value, continuously elevating the level of exchanges and cooperation to advance the green, low-carbon, and high-quality development of Shanxi’s energy and chemical industries.

Participants also engaged in discussions on topics including traditional transformation, digital empowerment, benchmarking against world-class standards, smart fire protection, complementary strengths, and integrated development.

Cui Xuejun:

“Read ten thousand books, travel ten thousand miles.” Pengfei Group, rooted in the coal industry, is expanding into the hydrogen energy sector and developing advanced equipment manufacturing—undertakings that reflect bold vision, substantial investment, and high aspirations, demonstrating both courage and determination. Moving forward, the two parties will jointly explore and launch concrete collaborative projects. It is recommended that they establish regular communication and liaison mechanisms to better understand each other’s needs, and elevate their relationship to a new level through frequent high-level exchanges. They should also proactively set agendas and clarify mutual expectations, ensuring that issues of shared concern are addressed effectively. Furthermore, focusing on key industrial and sectoral challenges as well as their own strategic priorities, both sides should organize high‑level, forward‑looking forums to achieve win‑win cooperation and ultimately foster a thriving, mutually beneficial industrial ecosystem.

Zheng Peng:

Zheng Peng extended a warm welcome to the research delegation. He noted that, as Shanxi’s first enterprise to operate two green factories certified by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Pengfei Group is focused on the high‑quality utilization of coal, on harnessing coal’s potential to benefit humanity, and on the efficient deployment of clean energy—pioneering a path that could reshape the future. By seeking energy from upstream sources and driving development downstream, Pengfei not only serves as an energy supplier but is also forging ahead as a leading advocate for green practices that enhance environmental sustainability and support high‑quality growth.

Zheng Peng stated that Pengfei’s primary focus is on the energy sector, striving to harness clean energy efficiently and ensure that energy use no longer harms the environment. The ultimate goal is to tell the compelling story of hydrogen energy, empowering everyone through hydrogen while enabling hydrogen to empower all. He expressed hope that, taking this strategic cooperation agreement as an opportunity, both parties will swiftly translate the agreement into concrete results, mutually reinforcing and supporting one another, further expanding the scope and depth of their collaboration, broadening their ecosystem, and working together to showcase Pengfei’s narrative of high-quality development. In doing so, they aim to contribute to ecological protection and high‑quality development in the Yellow River Basin, thereby helping to build a beautiful China.

Prior to the meeting, the research team also visited the urban hydrogen refueling integrated energy island and the 5G‑enabled central dispatch and command center.
