Peng Suping, an Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering (Division of Energy and Mining Engineering), is currently a Professor and Doctoral Supervisor at China University of Mining and Technology, Beijing (CUMTB). He previously served as the Director of the National Key Laboratory of Coal Resources and Safe Mining.

 

Professor Peng has long been engaged in research on mining engineering geology and resource exploration. He is a leading expert in China's national energy strategy and mining area environmental remediation. He holds positions including membership on the National Energy Advisory Committee.

 

Academician Peng's research focuses on the characterization, value-added utilization (e.g., conversion into construction materials, soil amendments), and ecological restoration technologies for bulk solid wastes such as coal gangue and fly ash. He has led the systematic development of key technologies for the large-scale utilization of coal-based solid waste, innovatively applying these wastes to the remediation of subsided land and backfilling reclamation in mining areas. This work has effectively promoted the establishment of a solid waste management system centered on "source reduction - value-added utilization - safe disposal" in resource-based cities, providing robust scientific and technological support for coal-resource-based cities undertaking pilot development of "Zero-waste Cities".

 

As a core expert, he has led or participated in multiple major national strategic consulting projects (such as Promoting the Clean and Efficient Utilization of Coal), contributing significantly to policy and strategic recommendations for solid waste management.

 

His scientific research, conducted under major national projects like the National Basic Research Program of China (973 Program), has yielded prolific results. He has been awarded three Second Prizes of the National Science and Technology Progress Award, along with numerous provincial/ministerial-level Special and First Prizes. His work has powerfully served the national strategies for ecological civilization construction and "Zero-waste City" development.
