Let the tall industrial chimneys grow green branches and leaves, and even birds build nests among the branches and leaves. This is the image displayed by GE (General Motors) at the China (Taiyuan) International Coal and Energy New Industry Expo (referred to as the Coal Expo) held recently. 　　“This image actually indicates the new direction of the development of China's coal industry. ” * * Wang Xianzheng, deputy director of the State Administration of Work Safety and president of the China Coal Industry Association, told reporters that under the severe situation of energy conservation and emission reduction, China's traditional coal industry must follow, and is embarking on, a clean and efficient "green" development path. 　　The "Ecomagination" of China's Coal Industry The reporter learned during the interview that, in fact, China's coal industry has been quietly undergoing fundamental changes in recent years. The so-called "dirty coal" is being turned into clean and efficient "green energy" in China. 　　It is understood that a large number of coal group companies represented by Shenhua, Lu'an Mining, Xinwen Mining, Huainan Mining, Pingdingshan Mining, Fushun Mining, Xishan Coal and Electricity, etc. are actively exploring and practicing a new sustainable development model. Pu Hongjiu, first vice president of the China Coal Industry Association, said that many coal companies in China are forming a circular economic development system supported by the four major industries of "coal-power-building materials-chemical industry". 　　“China is working hard to build a stable, clean and economical energy supply system. ” * * Wu Yin, inspector of the Energy Bureau of the National Development and Reform Commission, said, "Coal is China's main energy source. Since the release of the "Several Opinions of the State Council on Promoting the Healthy Development of the Coal Industry" in 2005, China's coal industry has begun to fully embark on the path of clean and efficient development. A coal-based chemical system has been gradually established. At the same time, new progress has been made in the comprehensive utilization of coal gangue. These have made positive contributions to China's energy conservation and emission reduction and the improvement of the ecological environment. ” 　　The clean development of the coal industry requires the support of science and technology. * * Ministry of Science and Technology Party Group * * , Vice Minister Li Xueyong told reporters that our country issued the " * * The Outline of the Medium- and Long-term Science and Technology Development Plan clearly lists the clean utilization of coal and energy technology innovation as priority development areas. he said: “In practice, we increasingly realize that the development of coal and new energy industries requires accelerating scientific and technological progress, strengthening independent innovation, and vigorously developing and applying new coal and energy technologies, new processes, new products, and new equipment. ； At the same time, we will participate in the international division of labor and cooperation on a larger scale and at a deeper level. ” 　　International energy giants "help" China Coal. At the recent China (Taiyuan) International Coal and Energy New Industry Expo, reporters noticed that many international energy industry giants such as General Electric (GE) of the United States, Itochu of Japan, Ruchiga of Germany, and Western Eagle of Canada have played the "green environmental protection card" to help the sustainable development of China's coal industry. 　　At the Coal Expo, GE directly hung up a banner titled “Ecomagination—Promoting China’s Sustainable Development.” Wen Yuezhong, President of GE China said: “With the rapid development of China's economy, energy consumption continues to increase and environmental pressure continues to increase. As the world's leading diversified business company, GE has brought China a complete set of environmental solutions such as green coal, integrated gasification combined cycle power generation, coal bed methane power generation, and coke oven gas power generation. GE hopes to use its advanced technology to join hands with China's booming coal and coal chemical companies to meet the severe challenges of energy conservation and emission reduction. ” 　　Coal chemical industry is considered to be an important choice for the coal industry to take the road of deep processing and cleanliness. The reporter saw at the Coal Expo pavilion that Japan's Itochu Corporation displayed their coal deep processing products - methanol, dimethyl ether, propylene, etc. converted through coke oven gas. Yoichi Kobayashi, President of Japan's Itochu Corporation Metal Energy Company said: “We hope to make the best use of coke oven gas and tar in Shanxi and even China through our competitive technology. ” 　　“Lurgi Company has conducted careful and detailed research on China's energy market and policy environment. Currently, China's economy and society are developing rapidly and are facing issues such as quality and quantity, western development and environmental protection. ”Bernard Joseph Lestensnyder, Sales President of China and North Asia of German Lurgi Company, said, "The utilization of coal to produce methanol is the current trend of sustainable energy development. Lurgi Company already has relatively mature technology and experience, ranging from methanol and dimethyl ether, synthetic fuels, and synthetic chemical products. ” 　　“Environmental problems are not only a problem for China, but also a problem faced by the whole world. ”Larry Hunter, president of American Clean Coal Technology Co., Ltd., said at the Coal Expo, "China * * We attach great importance to environmental issues and are determined to achieve energy conservation and emission reduction targets. American Clean Coal Technology Co., Ltd. has the world's top clean coal technology and hopes to help improve the environment in China, especially Shanxi, through cooperation with Chinese companies. ” 　　“In fact, coal can bring us a high quality of life. ”William Mark Hart, president of West Eagle Canada, said, “Today, issues such as energy shortage, rising oil and gas prices, excessive carbon dioxide emissions, and climate warming are becoming the focus of increasing global attention. In this context, the promotion and application of clean coal technology is imperative, and many * * Start writing articles on coal gasification. Coal gasification is not only a very economical way of using energy, but also has the ability to meet international emission standards and reduce sulfur and carbon dioxide emissions, thus playing a huge role in protecting the environment. ”
