China is a big producer and consumer of coal. It is the national condition of China that coal is rich, oil is scarce and gas is scarce. It is difficult to fundamentally change the coal-based energy structure in the short term. In particular, under the background of realizing the goal of "dual carbon", how to achieve high-quality development of the coal industry has become a hot topic of the NPC and CPPCC representatives and members. This year's NPC and CPPCC came what "coal" good voice, the reporter has carried out some combs.

To achieve the "dual carbon" target and to protect the bottom of the supply

To achieve the dual carbon goal is an inherent requirement for high-quality development, and we must unswervingly advance it. However, based on the reality, China's coal industry emission reduction pressure is huge, how to deal with the relationship between the two, representatives and members of the committee gave some opinions and suggestions.

Dong Lin, a deputy to the National People's Congress, believes that coal plays a fundamental and bottom-saving role in China's energy system, and the upstream and downstream coal industries are an important part of China's national economy. Since 2021, the international energy supply and demand situation changes, a variety of factors, such as steady economic recovery in domestic coal supply and demand situation in depth adjustment, especially after the third quarter of last year, coal supply and demand gradually to the shortage of structural shift, the long-term contract coal prices are coal market spot prices rose sharply, appear "coal super crazy" "than expected." Relevant departments increase energy supply stability price strength, coal economic situation tends to be stable. Practice has proved that too high or too low coal price will have an adverse impact on the steady and healthy development of the upstream and downstream coal industry and China's energy security and stable supply. Therefore, it is of great significance to establish a long-term win-win cooperation mechanism for the upstream and downstream coal industry and stabilize the coal price within a reasonable range for implementing the spirit of the Central Economic Work Conference, ensuring the safe and stable supply of energy and promoting the high-quality development of the upstream and downstream coal industry.

Pan Biling, a member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), said that due to the instability and periodicity of existing clean energy, there are still many obstacles to making clean energy China's main energy source in the short term, and the country's coal resource endowment determines that coal is the main energy source to ensure energy security. In recent years, China has been constantly optimizing and adjusting the energy structure. Although the proportion of coal in primary energy consumption is decreasing year by year, China's coal-dominated energy structure will not undergo fundamental changes in the future.

Cao Peixi, a member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), said that the recent social voices, regardless of national conditions and development stage, blindly downplayed or even "demonized" coal power generation, and some local "campaign" carbon reduction practices have adversely affected the sustainable and healthy development of the coal power industry. During the 14th Five-Year Plan period and beyond, coal power will continue to play an irreplaceable role in energy security and green and low-carbon transformation. Optimizing the business environment of coal power is of great significance to maintaining national energy security. Coal power will continue to play an irreplaceable role in supporting the safe and stable operation of the power system, serving the large-scale development of renewable energy, and helping to achieve the goal of carbon peak and carbon neutrality.

We will pursue green and low-carbon transformation

At present, the coal industry is facing a series of challenges to achieve green and low-carbon transformation, but also ushered in rare development opportunities. What's the future? How to transform? During the NPC and CPPCC sessions, deputies and members offered these tips.

Li Dongyan, a deputy to the National People's Congress, suggested that the country should attach importance to comprehensive legislation and enact the Energy Law of the People's Republic of China as soon as possible. At the same time, relevant laws should be revised to strengthen coordination between laws and regulations and make them more targeted and effective.

Yuan Liang, a deputy to the National People's Congress, suggested that the "double carbon" technology in the coal industry be included in the "14th Five-Year Plan" for scientific and technological innovation in the energy sector, as a key task of the "14th Five-year Plan" for energy innovation, increase support to provide innovative support for the low-carbon transformation of the industry.

Sun Jianbo, a deputy to the National People's Congress, suggested deepening the complementary development of coal-fired power generation and new energy in the "double carbon era". We will increase support for low-carbon transformation of coal-fired units and support the coupling development of coal-fired units with new energy generation. New energy resources should be rationally allocated based on coal power enterprises' power supply guarantee capacity and peak regulation capacity, and coal power enterprises should be promoted to transform into comprehensive energy enterprises and develop upstream of uHV transmission lines in an orderly manner through horizontal multi-energy complementing and vertical network source, load and storage coordination. In addition, we will strengthen macro regulation of the coal market, optimize the distribution of coal production capacity, support safe, efficient, green and intelligent coal mining, accelerate the release of advanced production capacity, and bring coal prices back to a reasonable level.

Jiang Yaodong, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), called for further strengthening the construction of China's coal safety production capacity, focusing on building a large number of intelligent coal mines and large open-pit coal mines, continuing to eliminate backward production capacity, and forming a production structure dominated by large intelligent coal mines. Enhance the intelligent support of flexible coal production and supply capacity, increase the intelligent green mining technology research; Vigorously promote coal from fuel to fuel and raw materials to extend the coal chemical industry chain; Further strengthen the ability of overall planning and management of coal-related policies and make concerted efforts.

Feng Yidong, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), believes that accelerating the use of clean coal is crucial for China to achieve the dual carbon target on schedule. It is suggested to establish a clean coal standard system and organize the establishment of a National Technical committee on Clean Coal Standardization to ensure that clean coal for different industrial, power generation and civilian uses has corresponding quality standards. Second, strengthen the source control of coal production enterprises, establish clean coal purchase and sale platforms at different levels, and ensure the quality of clean coal products in the circulation process. In addition, we will increase subsidies to clean coal producers and make good use of carbon emission reduction support tools and special reloan policies launched by the Central bank to improve the overall supply capacity of clean coal.

We will promote r&d and innovation in related technologies

The CPC Central Committee and The State Council attach great importance to the clean and efficient utilization of coal. The Central Economic Work Conference stressed that, based on the basic national conditions dominated by coal, we should do a good job in the clean and efficient utilization of coal, increase the absorption capacity of new energy, and promote the optimal combination of coal and new energy.

Jia Runan, a deputy to the National People's Congress, suggested to promote the high-end diversified low-carbon development of coal chemical industry, in the "high-end" aspect, speed up key core technologies, the construction of coal-based new materials to extend the industrial chain project, the production of coal-based new materials and coal-based special fuels and other high value-added products. In terms of "diversification", it will accelerate the transformation from a single oil and polyolefin products to a diversified product system of "oil-chemical-new materials", and actively develop coal-based biodegradable materials and high-grade carbon materials. In terms of "low carbonization", new energy sources such as green electricity and green hydrogen are coupled with the development of modern coal chemical industry to explore the path of large-scale carbon dioxide capture, storage and comprehensive utilization.

National People's Congress deputy Lu Chunxiang believes that strengthening the clean and efficient use of coal technology research, is the primary and realistic way to solve China's energy security. In recent years, China has arranged some research projects on clean and efficient utilization of coal, which have achieved remarkable results. However, there is still a gap between the overall technical strength and the current national requirements for comprehensive utilization of coal. It is suggested to continuously strengthen technological research on the clean and efficient utilization of coal and systematically carry out scientific and technological breakthroughs. Promote efficient coal burning coal power generation technology, a new generation of technology, regulation and control of new coal chemical industry product structure, technology, energy and chemical industry process reengineering and system integration of different industries, clean coal technology, low concentration gas gas ethos (spent), effective use of chemical and biological carbon sequestration technology progress, to achieve "double carbon" fundamental and strategic contribution, Providing support for energy security.

Standing committee of the Chinese people's political consultative conference Pan Biling said, as the carbon market gradually mature, traditional large consumption of fossil energy production enterprises in market competition will be increasingly at a disadvantage, new energy technology matures and further reduce the cost of development, enterprises need to constantly improve their own competitiveness, realize the innovation of production technology and process, reduce the cost of energy use and carbon emissions.

Jiang Yaodong, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), suggested that efforts should be made to tackle key technologies for clean and efficient use of coal and transform the results. We will encourage research on basic theories and key technologies for clean and efficient utilization of coal, include key technology research projects in the National Science and technology Support Plan, key energy innovation areas and key innovation directions, promote demonstration projects for clean and efficient utilization of coal, and increase investment in scientific research.

We will advance the construction of intelligent mines in an orderly manner

The construction of intelligent mine is the only way to realize the transformation and upgrading of coal industry, and it is the general trend.

Man Shengang, a deputy to the National People's Congress, said that with the rapid development of information technology and the accelerated application of intelligent equipment, mining enterprises have provided rare opportunities and strong support to optimize production organization, strengthen management and control capabilities, and promote safety in production. He suggested speeding up research and formulation of industry standards and steadily and orderly promoting the intelligent construction of mining enterprises. A "policy package" with high gold content was introduced to form a pattern of multi-party participation and investment. At the same time, he also suggested perfecting financial tax support policies with more preferential measures, such as tax breaks, low-interest loans and discount subsidies, to encourage enterprises to increase investment, attract high-tech enterprises such as information and communication enterprises and software development enterprises to actively participate, and leverage social capital to follow up investment. Set up "seed" funds and special funds for intelligent construction, give play to the role of "four and two dials thousands of catties", and "ease the burden" for intelligent construction of enterprises.

Wei Zhen, a deputy to the National People's Congress, said that in the investigation, although the National Development and Reform Commission and other eight departments issued the "guidance on accelerating the intelligent development of coal mines", also announced the list of demonstration construction of coal mines and trial acceptance management methods, but in the intelligent construction and acceptance of the situation, there are still low standards. In order to further promote the intelligent construction, Wei Zhen suggested that relevant departments should accurately define the substantive meaning of intelligent, at the same time suggested adjusting the existing acceptance management measures related indicators, scientific development of intelligent construction indicators, the focus should be on the unmanned or less humanized in each production link. Industry management departments should encourage and supervise all coal mines to make efforts to realize the real intellectualization of the whole mine, rather than the local demonstration of the mine, let alone the acceptance for the sake of acceptance.
