CHENGDU, China — May 8, 2026 — The 2nd “Qingcheng Forum” & Net-zero China: Sichuan Ecological Partner Conference was grandly held in Chengdu. Co-hosted by SINOTECH, China Fortune Media Group, and the Sichuan County Economic Association, the event focused on three strategic pillars: Net-zero industrial park construction, PV+ESS technological innovation, and the global expansion of renewable energy. The conference, consisting of a main forum and two specialized sub-forums, drew over 300 distinguished guests, including government officials, industry experts, executives from listed companies, energy investment institutions, and leaders across the industrial chain.
Forging Consensus for a Net-zero Vision
"As a public company listed on the STAR Market, SINOTECH has spent over two decades deep-rooting itself in the materials science sector," stated Chen Qizhang, Chairman of SINOTECH. "From undertaking national R&D programs to being recognized as a national manufacturing individual champion enterprise, we have evolved from a market follower to a leader in specialized segments. Through deep collaboration with prestigious institutions like Tianjin University and UESTC, we are accelerating our footprint in the energy storage and integrated energy solutions."
Chairman Chen emphasized that SINOTECH’s business now spans R&D and investment across the entire "Source-Grid-Load-Storage" spectrum. With the successful deployment of PV+ESS generators and systems, alongside a burgeoning smart integrated energy management platform, the company is rapidly expanding its global footprint with a portfolio of flagship "green and low-carbon" projects.
Wang Qian, Deputy Party Secretary of the School of Energy at Tianjin University, highlighted the success of their industry-university-research partnership: "In the past year, Tianjin University and SINOTECH have achieved breakthroughs in high-performance storage materials, smart energy management, and PV+ESS system integration. Moving forward, we aim to deepen our focus on Net-zero industrial parks through joint laboratories and specialized technical initiatives."
Launching Major Initiatives and Ecological Partnerships
A highlight of the event was the official launch of the "Net-zero China: Ecological Co-construction Plan." Chairman Chen Qizhang joined Zhao Huaizhi, Director of China Fortune Media Group, to inaugurate this partnership, aimed at building a normalized industrial synergy ecosystem.
Furthermore, SINOTECH unveiled its "Smart Energy Solutions" and collaborated with upstream/downstream enterprises and financial institutions to launch the "SINOTECH Digital Energy 2026 PV+ESS Ecological & Financial Partner Program," solidifying both the technical and financial foundations for carbon-neutral industrial development.
Industry Practice and Global Insights
During the afternoon sessions, Irene Chen, General Manager of SINOTECH’s Digital Energy Division, shared insights on the international energy storage market. Addressing the complexities of global expansion, she introduced SINOTECH’s proprietary eight-dimensional market analysis model, which evaluates factors such as electrification rates, grid stability, diesel penetration, diesel pricing, photovoltaic deployment, and purchasing power to identify high-potential global markets. Tailored for weak-grid and solar-plus-storage applications, SINOTECH’s solutions emphasize modular design, plug-and-play deployment, intelligent management, and superior safety performance.
In the roundtable discussions, guests explored cost control, operational models, and market-driven paths for Net-zero industrial parks, sharing practical experiences on how to empower high-quality local development.
Looking Ahead
The success of this conference underscores SINOTECH’s leadership in the Net-zero transition and its capability to integrate resources across government, industry, academia, and research sectors. As China prepares for its "15th Five-Year Plan," SINOTECH will leverage this momentum to deepen industrial practices and drive the realization of the nation’s "Dual Carbon" goals.
