Shanxi to build world-class coal-based technology innovation base

To accelerate comprehensive energy reform, North China's Shanxi province has explicitly stated its goal to establish a world-class coal-based technology innovation and transformation base, making it a key part of the "Five Bases" construction.

Efforts are being continuously made across the province in key areas such as coal machinery equipment, coal power, the coal chemical industry, hydrogen energy, and coalbed methane to facilitate the application and commercialization of more coal-based technological innovations.

In recent years, many enterprises in the province have been advancing the development of key core technologies and the practical application of technical achievements, actively undertaking key national and provincial-level R&D projects and achieving significant milestones.

Moreover, there is a strong emphasis on deepening industry-university-research collaboration by jointly establishing research and development platforms with renowned domestic universities and undertaking major scientific and technological innovation projects.

In addition, based on the distribution characteristics and development needs of the industry's coal-based industry, efforts are being made to develop high-level scientific and technological innovation platforms, including creating an internationally influential coal-based energy valley and establishing diversified new research and development institutions.

By holding the Taiyuan Energy Low Carbon Development Forum, the province actively engages in international scientific and technological cooperation and exchanges, introducing advanced coal-based technology achievements and technologies from abroad to elevate the level of coal-based technology.

Simultaneously, enterprises are encouraged to collaborate with foreign companies and research institutions to jointly conduct research and development and carry out coal-based technology projects, facilitating the internationalization of Shanxi's coal-based technology achievements.
