HY Energy Group
Founded in 1993 and headquartered in Zhuji, HY Energy Group began as an oil trading and refined-product wholesaler during the early years of China's energy market deregulation. The group later came under the influence of HNA Group before a controlling stake was acquired by Tongchuan Huinengxin Energy Co., Ltd., with Xu Haohao emerging as the key principal and director of major associated investment vehicles, including Beyond Global and Victory Gain. HY Energy Group's strategy spans asset-heavy infrastructure and venture-stage industrial commitments. Its direct holdings include road toll collection rights, energy warehousing and trading facilities, and lithium carbonate processing operations — a material used in battery cathodes. The group also holds commercial real estate, including the Haiyue Building in Hangzhou and retail shops in Chengdu. In new materials, it co-invested with China Resources Cement to establish Tongchuan Runxin New Materials Co., Ltd., a joint venture targeting construction-related industrial products. The firm's cross-border connectivity is reinforced by director Wang Kan, who also chairs CWT International, a Hong Kong-listed logistics and commodity trading group. Team size and aggregate deployment remain undisclosed. The group's footprint runs through Hangzhou and Chengdu, with infrastructure assets distributed across Chinese provinces. A corporate philanthropic arm directs charitable giving, though it remains unquantified. The transition in control from HNA Group to Tongchuan Huinengxin marked a governance reset, consolidating direction under Xu Haohao's affiliated entities. Structurally, HY Energy operates less like a blind-pool fund and more as a holding-company investor, directly owning operating assets and taking minority or controlling stakes in joint ventures tied to physical infrastructure. This industrial-operating DNA — combining petroleum logistics, toll-road concessions, and lithium chemicals — distinguishes it from pure financial allocators and positions it at the intersection of legacy energy tolls and China's electrification supply chain.

Frequently asked questions
Who controls HY Energy Group, and what is the HNA Group connection?
Tongchuan Huinengxin Energy Co., Ltd. is the controlling shareholder that acquired de facto control from HNA Group, the former substantial shareholder. Key principal Xu Haohao directs major investment vehicles Beyond Global and Victory Gain and functions as the lead decision-maker. The HNA relationship represents a prior chapter; the firm now operates under Xu's affiliated control structure.
What are HY Energy Group's core operating assets?
The group holds road toll collection rights, energy warehousing and trading infrastructure, and lithium carbonate production capacity. Its commercial property portfolio includes the Haiyue Building in Hangzhou's Binjiang District and retail shops in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. These assets generate recurring cash flows tied to transportation and industrial activity.
Does HY Energy Group take direct equity stakes or invest through funds?
HY Energy operates primarily through direct balance-sheet investment and joint ventures rather than as a limited partner in third-party funds. A recent example is the co-investment with China Resources Cement in Tongchuan Runxin New Materials Co., Ltd., a construction-materials venture. This reflects a preference for operational control and alignment with physical infrastructure projects.
How does HY Energy Group fit into China's energy transition?
The firm's lithium carbonate production directly serves battery supply chains, while its legacy oil trading provides counter-cyclical cash flow. This dual exposure — petroleum distribution alongside strategic minerals processing — positions the group as a beneficiary of both China's current energy consumption and its electrification targets, executed through wholly owned operating subsidiaries rather than passive portfolio allocations.
Who is the key principal managing investment decisions?
Xu Haohao leads the group's investment direction as director and major shareholder of the controlling vehicles Beyond Global and Victory Gain. Director Wang Kan, who also chairs Hong Kong-listed CWT International, provides additional connectivity across logistics and commodity trading networks. Day-to-day investment committee details are not publicly disclosed, but Xu's holdings signal concentrated authority.
