The Two Sessions of the National People’s Congress have just concluded, 3 month 15 On [date], Lai Ming, a member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and former Deputy Secretary-General, as well as former Vice Chairman of the Central Committee of the Jiusan Society, promptly led a delegation to Pengfei Group. They engaged in in-depth discussions on the future direction of the energy industry, providing crucial guidance for Pengfei Group to position itself at the forefront of the energy revolution and pursue a green transformation. Li Qingshan, a member of the National Committee of the CPPCC, Vice Chairman of the Shanxi Provincial Committee of the CPPCC, and Chairman of the Shanxi Provincial Committee of the Jiusan Society, accompanied the visit and chaired the symposium. Also in attendance were Xue Aiping, Vice Chairman of the Lüliang Municipal Committee of the CPPCC and Chairman of the Lüliang Branch of the Jiusan Society, along with Zheng Peng, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Pengfei Group.

At the symposium, Lai Ming, taking into account the overall national strategic landscape, addressed the “chemical industry”... + He provided an in-depth analysis of the development prospects of “biomanufacturing.” He emphasized that food security is a matter of paramount national importance, and that chemical engineering… + Integrating biomanufacturing with innovative approaches, vigorously developing the methanol‑protein industry, and exploring a new pathway for non‑grain protein supply that “does not compete with agriculture for land or with humans for food” constitute an important strategic route to safeguarding national food security. At present, the country is promoting the deep integration of two major strategies—biomanufacturing and the energy revolution—and methanol protein stands precisely at their intersection, embodying both energy‑substitution and food‑substitution attributes, with its strategic value increasingly coming into focus. He stated that Pengfei Group has been cultivating the fertile ground of Shanxi’s comprehensive pilot program for the energy revolution, leveraging advantages in industrial structure, raw materials, energy resources, and geographic location. He encouraged Pengfei Group to take the lead in piloting the industrialization of methanol protein, opening up new avenues for industrial development and pioneering innovative solutions to ensure national food security.

Addressing the industry‑wide challenge of comprehensive coal gangue management, Lai Ming pointed out that this issue goes beyond solid‑waste pollution prevention and control; it also holds strategic opportunities for resource circularity. Through targeted technological breakthroughs, efficient separation and resource‑based utilization of coal gangue can be achieved, resolving the dual dilemma of managing existing stockpiles while curbing new accumulations, thereby providing critical technical support for the energy sector’s green and low‑carbon transformation. He further emphasized that Shanxi, as a major energy province, boasts abundant associated resources in its coal gangue, including rare and precious metals. By integrating flotation processes to enable tiered extraction and expanding into eco‑restoration products such as engineered soils, a closed‑loop industrial chain—“resources–products–recycled resources”—can be established. He expressed his hope that Pengfei Group will fully unlock the value of coal‑gangue resources, facilitate the localization and application of cutting‑edge technologies and innovative solutions in Shanxi, and genuinely transform what was once a “solid‑waste burden” into “green wealth,” turning resource advantages into industrial strengths that drive high‑quality development.

Li Qingshan stated that Chairman Lai Ming’s address profoundly elucidated the strategic significance and practical needs of future energy development, offering new ideas and perspectives for Shanxi’s energy revolution and diversified industrial growth. Moving forward, the Shanxi Provincial Committee of the Jiusan Society will, drawing on Pengfei Group’s practical explorations, conduct in-depth research into the maturity of relevant technologies, their economic viability, and feasible implementation pathways, thereby producing a high-quality policy recommendation report to provide robust support for policymaking. He also expressed the hope that Pengfei Group will accelerate substantive cooperation, striving to achieve breakthroughs in the field of bio-… + Pioneering breakthroughs have been achieved in areas such as the chemical industry and the comprehensive treatment of coal gangue, injecting new momentum into the province’s energy revolution through leading‑edge demonstration projects.

Zheng Peng stated that Chairman Lai Ming has accurately identified the cutting-edge directions of the energy revolution, providing Pengfei with authoritative policy analysis, a forward‑looking technological vision, and access to top‑tier resources. Pengfei Group will accelerate the research and implementation of relevant projects, striving to create a demonstrative effect across the province and even nationwide, thereby advancing Shanxi’s energy‑revolution transformation through concrete actions.
