Chairman Zhang Shoujun of Hefei Debo Gives Speech at the 20th China Renewable Energy Congress
Oct 23-25, 2026 — Hosted by the Chinese Renewable Energy Society, the 20th China Renewable Energy Congress was grandly held at Shaoxing International Convention & Exhibition Center, Zhejiang Province. Centered on the theme "Green Energy, Driven by Innovation", the congress gathered more than 2,000 academicians, experts, university scholars, researchers from scientific institutions, industry associations and energy-enterprises. In-depth discussions were carried out on cutting-edge renewable-energy technologies, commercialization of innovative achievements and high-quality industrial-development pathways. Mr. Zhang Shoujun, Chairman of Hefei Debo Bioenergy Technology Co., Ltd., was invited to attend the event and delivered a special presentation at the Biomass Energy Session.
As a high-profile, wide-coverage platform integrating academia and industry within China's renewable-energy sector, this congress featured 15 technical parallel sessions together with the 8th Young Scientists Forum, covering key sectors including solar energy, wind energy, biomass energy, hydrogen energy and advanced energy storage. A total of 12 keynote speeches and over 400 technical presentations were delivered, alongside nearly 300 academic posters, collectively showcasing the latest R&D breakthroughs, equipment upgrades and industrialization achievements across China's renewable-energy industry.
Aligned with national strategic priorities for green-low-carbon energy transition and new-energy-system development, the congress focused on critical topics: high-efficiency conversion and utilization of renewable energy, multi-energy complementarity and system integration, AI-empowered energy industry, indigenous innovation of core equipment, and industrial translation of scientific-technological achievements. Participants held extensive dialogues on hot subjects such as large-scale new-energy deployment, coordinated dispatch of integrated-energy systems, green-fuel production and advanced energy-storage technologies, exploring feasible pathways to move renewable-energy technologies from laboratory R&D toward large-scale commercial application.
The congress welcomed distinguished guest Academician Jiang Jianchun of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, who presented a special report entitled Perspectives on Frontier Development of Biomass Molecular Engineering Science and Technology. A leading scholar in China's forest chemical engineering discipline, Academician Jiang has long been engaged in thermochemical conversion of agricultural and forestry biomass, development of advanced carbon materials and associated engineering technologies. Many of his research outputs have won National-Level Sci-Tech Progress Award, guiding domestic R&D on high-value utilization of biomass resources. His presentation raised the academic standing of the biomass-energy track and embodied the conference's positioning for high-level academia-industry dialogue. His report analyzed development trends for full-component utilization technologies of biomass resources from the perspective of biomass-molecular-engineering frontiers, offering guidance for industry-oriented scientific innovation and engineering practice.
Key discussion themes of the conference covered high-value conversion of biomass resources, development of advanced carbon materials and demonstration-scale deployment of complete-set technologies. Driven by domestic energy-structure optimization and accelerated green-low-carbon retrofits for industry, the positioning of the biomass-energy industry keeps evolving. Its application scope has expanded beyond conventional heat supply and power generation into emerging fields such as clean synthetic-fuel production, green chemical feedstock manufacturing, agricultural-forestry solid-waste recycling and circular utilization of carbon resources, delivering viable technical solutions for valorizing agricultural and forestry residues and cutting industrial carbon emissions.
Drawing on the company's long-term R&D accumulation and project track-record in biomass gasification, Chairman Zhang Shoujun introduced Debo's proprietary core processes, iterative R&D of complete-set equipment and real-world performance of flagship engineering projects to on-site audiences including Academician Jiang Jianchun, university experts and peer-enterprise representatives. He engaged panel discussions with participants over industry-wide focal topics such as high-efficiency conversion of biomass feedstock, high-value utilization of biomass solid waste and development of poly-generation systems. He highlighted high-value biomass-gasification technologies and their practical progress in poly-generation applications, boiler & kiln coupling, and biomass-based green chemistry, demonstrating how gasification technologies enable agricultural-forestry residue valorization and industrial carbon reduction.
The congress built a high-quality platform for academia-industry-research institutes for technical exchange, resource matching and industrial cooperation. Through this event, Hefei Debo fully exhibited its technical reserves, equipment capacity and engineering experience in high-value biomass-energy utilization. The company also seized a precious opportunity for face-to-face exchanges with top-tier industry experts represented by Academician Jiang Jianchun. This creates favorable conditions for Debo to connect with university and research-institute resources, deepen collaborative innovation across academia-industry-research, and explore new technical-application scenarios.
Looking ahead, Hefei Debo Bioenergy Technology Co., Ltd. will stay committed to the Dual Carbon Goals. The company will continuously increase R&D investment in biomass gasification, refine complete-set equipment and system solutions, and push for roll-out of more demonstration projects. Leveraging the unique carbon sequestration and emission-reduction advantages of biomass resources, Debo will strengthen exchanges and collaboration with research institutes and academician-led expert teams. It will contribute to the quality upgrading of China's renewable-energy industry and advance the nation-wide green and low-carbon energy transition.
