Pengfei and France’s Val-d’Oise Department Have Reached a Consensus on Friendly Exchanges.
From April 15 to 22, Tang Zhiping, a member of the Party Leadership Group of the Shanxi Provincial Government and Vice Governor, led a Shanxi delegation to attend the 2023 Hannover Messe in Germany and conduct investment promotion and economic‑trade activities in Europe, marking the start of the province’s 2023 cross‑border initiatives for industrial transformation cooperation and foreign investment attraction. Zheng Peng, Chairman of the Board and President of Pengfei Group, accompanied the delegation as a representative of the business community.
On April 17, at the Hannover Messe—widely hailed as the “flagship exhibition of the global industrial trade sector,” the “barometer of world industrial trade,” and the “weathervane of global industrial technology development”—Pengfei Group’s carbon‑reduction roadmap, anchored in green and high‑quality development, drew attention and acclaim from participants worldwide.
Philippe Chauvet, Executive Vice-President of the Val‑d’Oise Department in France, learned at the expo that Pengfei Group is a privately owned, digitally intelligent, circular‑economy‑oriented, and environmentally sustainable enterprise integrating raw coal mining, premium coal washing and beneficiation, coke production, modern coal‑chemicals, automobile manufacturing, smart logistics, high‑end real estate, cultural‑tourism and hospitality, waste‑material recycling, and a full‑chain hydrogen‑energy value chain. As a green, low‑carbon technology company with leading advantages in advancing the “dual carbon” goals, its business sectors align closely with the development priorities of the Val‑d’Oise Department, prompting keen interest and an invitation for Zheng Peng to visit the department.
On April 21, Zheng Peng and his delegation held in-depth, friendly discussions with Executive Vice Governor Philippe Chau and Jean-François Bournon, Director-General of the province’s Department of Commerce, among others, in the picturesque Vaz River Valley Province, and reached a series of mutual understandings.

France was a founding country of the Paris Agreement on climate change, and Paris will set an example in decarbonization by transitioning from fossil fuels to hydrogen energy.

Pengfei can supply hydrogen energy to support urban development and global hydrogen‑powered airports.

The Wazhi River Valley Province boasts advanced research and development capabilities and achievements in hydrogen‑powered aircraft with fewer than 20 seats, and is open to partnering with Pengfei to jointly invest in and establish a manufacturing facility in Shanxi.
