Shanxi’s coal industry carbon peak implementation plan was recently issued

Recently, the Shanxi Provincial Development and Reform Commission and the Provincial Energy Bureau issued the “Implementation Plan for Carbon Peaking in the Coal Industry of Shanxi Province” (hereinafter referred to as the “Plan”), proposing to promote the clean and efficient utilization of coal to improve the entire industry chain. Carbon emission reduction levels.

The “Plan” clarifies that Shanxi should promote the optimized combination of coal and new energy in an orderly manner, improve the comprehensive utilization level of coal-associated resources and solid waste, and achieve the green transformation and development of the coal industry; change the way coal is used, and promote the transformation of coal from fuel to fuel raw materials. , Promote the transformation and upgrading of coal consumption.

It is reported that achieving clean and efficient utilization of coal includes promoting the orderly substitution of coal for non-electricity fuels and improving the comprehensive utilization efficiency of raw coal.

In terms of promoting the orderly replacement of coal as non-electric fuel, we encourage the use of renewable energy to produce hydrogen and optimize the structure of raw materials such as coal chemicals, synthetic ammonia, and methanol.

In terms of improving the comprehensive utilization efficiency of coal as raw material, we should actively develop coal-based special fuels and coal-based biodegradable materials, expand the multiple comprehensive recycling methods of kerosene, gas, and salt, cultivate carbon-based new material industry clusters, and create a demonstration base for new fiber material products. Promote the transformation of coal into high-end products with high carbon sequestration rates. In accordance with national requirements, the construction of Shanxi Shanxi Shanxi coal-to-oil and gas strategic base will be steadily promoted. Encourage the integrated utilization of coal deep processing and carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS), and carry out high-concentration carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) utilization pilots.

The “Plan” also proposes to carry out coal technology innovation research and support the development of green and low-carbon cutting-edge technologies such as large-scale low-energy capture of carbon dioxide and mineralization conversion and utilization. Encourage large-scale coal enterprises, national-level innovation platforms in the energy field, and national-level scientific research institutes to join forces to conduct concentrated research on key technologies for coal raw materials and materials.

It is reported that Shanxi will ensure that the goals are achieved as scheduled by strengthening organizational implementation, improving laws and standards, strengthening financial support, increasing financial investment, and consolidating corporate responsibilities.
