On August 27, 2021, East China University of Science and Technology and Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Co., Ltd. signed a new round of strategic cooperation signing and hydrogen energy joint laboratory inauguration ceremony in Huali Yifu Building. Shanghai Petrochemical Party Secretary and Chairman Wu Haijun, General Manager Guan Zemin, Deputy General Managers Huang Xiangyu and Huang Fei, etc., as well as Huali President Xuan Fuzhen, and Vice President Xin Zhong and Li Tao attended the signing ceremony. The signing ceremony was hosted by Li Tao.

Xuan Fuzhen reviewed the history of cooperation between Huali and Shanghai Petrochemical in his speech, and expressed his gratitude to Shanghai Petrochemical for its long-term care and support for the development of the school. He pointed out that the signing of a new round of strategic cooperation agreement between Huali and Shanghai Petrochemical and the establishment of a joint hydrogen energy laboratory are important for the implementation of the Party Central Committee’s major strategic deployment of "achieving carbon peaks by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060". The initiative is a new starting point for the cooperation between the two parties in the new development stage.

Xuan Fuzhen said that around the realization of the "dual carbon" strategic goal, the industrial chain, innovation chain, and talent chain all need to undergo extensive and profound changes and restructuring. In December 2020, the State Council released the white paper "China's Energy Development in the New Era", focusing on the development of hydrogen energy industry chain technology and equipment such as green hydrogen production, storage, transportation, and application. The European Union, Germany, Japan, etc. have successively formulated the "EU Hydrogen Energy Strategy" and "Hydrogen Energy Basic Strategy". It can be seen that hydrogen energy has become a key chain in the context of carbon neutrality. The strategic cooperation between the two parties to choose hydrogen energy as the breakthrough point and power point is precisely aimed at the key and opportunity for this new strategic development. Hydrogen, hydrogen transport, hydrogen use and other key technology and basic scientific issues, give full play to the advantages of both parties, formulate "near, medium and far" development goals and roadmaps as soon as possible, and make the joint laboratory stronger and stronger, with more results and better results The results have contributed to the restructuring of the industrial chain and the cultivation of high-end talents with "hydrogen energy" as the node, leading the transformation and development of the industry, and making new and greater contributions.

Wu Haijun thanked Huali for its long-term support in personnel transportation and industrial development of Shanghai Petrochemical. Wu Haijun pointed out that this signing is a deeper cooperation between the school and enterprise in the new situation of China's realization of the "dual carbon" strategic goal. He hopes that the two parties will take the signing of the strategic cooperation agreement and the establishment of the hydrogen energy joint laboratory as a new starting point and give full play to each other. Adhere to sincere cooperation, further strengthen exchanges and cooperation in personnel training, technological innovation, and achievement transformation, and truly achieve each other’s strengths, accomplishments, and gains, and strive to achieve mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation. Results.
