Shanxi: from "coal boss" to the leader of energy revolution

As an important energy and industrial base in China, Shanxi has mined 19.3 billion tons of coal and transferred 13 billion tons to other countries in the past 70 years, supporting the sustained, stable and rapid development of China's economy. Shanxi and new China have grown together. In the past 70 years, great changes have taken place in the land of Shanxi: the GDP of the whole province has increased by 1050 times, the financial revenue has increased by 27066 times, and the living standard of the people has greatly improved. In the past, the "coal base" of the whole country is turning into the "leader of the energy revolution of the whole country".

Bear the burden of the national coal base

Coal plays an absolute leading role in China's energy consumption, Shanxi is a major coal province, and plays an important role in the national coal industry pattern. According to Li zhenshuo, former deputy chief engineer of Shanxi Coal Geology Bureau, the proven reserves of anthracite in Shanxi account for 39.6% of the total in China. Among them, the reserves of the most high-quality fat coal and coking coal account for 54% of the total. Shanxi has a complete range of coal types with huge reserves. Among them, the reserves of coking coal, anthracite and other scarce coal types are among the largest in China and even in the world. At present, the advanced production capacity of Shanxi coal mine accounts for 57%, 15% higher than that at the beginning of last year; 23 state-level green mines such as Datang Tashan have been built with the same coal, the raw coal washing rate has reached 72.38%, and the operation of coal-fired generating units has achieved ultra-low emission transformation.

Li zhenshuo said that Shanxi energy has made great contributions to supporting the national modernization drive. As an important energy industrial base for national layout and construction since the reform and opening up, Shanxi has been the largest coal producing area and supply area in China for 40 years, with annual output of raw coal ranking first and second in the country for a long time, accounting for more than 1 / 4 of the total amount of the country, and more than 70% exported to the country; it is the largest coke producing area and supply area in the country.

Shanxi is the province with the highest concentration and development potential of coalbed methane resources in China. The output of coalbed methane accounts for 95% of the total output of the country. The extraction and utilization of coalbed methane as well as the electricity generation of coalbed methane account for more than 90% of the total output of the country.

"Shanxi's position as the main coal producing area and one of the five comprehensive energy bases will not change in the long term in the future," Li said

An important "experimental field" for the reform of national energy system and mechanism

The world's energy development is speeding up in the direction of clean, diversified and intelligent, and is promoting human society from industrial civilization to ecological civilization. China is the largest energy producer and consumer in the world. To ensure national energy security, we must promote high-quality development of energy in the new era, and promote the revolution of energy production and consumption.

The Party Central Committee and the State Council are very concerned about the transformation and development of Shanxi's resource-based economy. In June 2017, when general secretary Xi Jinping inspected Shanxi, he pointed out that the CPC Central Committee entrusted Shanxi with the important task of building a comprehensive reform pilot area for national resource-based economic transformation. Shanxi should make good use of this opportunity and really get out of a new road of high quality, high quality, good efficiency and sustainable development. After that, the State Council issued the opinions on supporting Shanxi Province to further deepen reform and promote the transformation and development of resource-based economy. In the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, "support the economic transformation and development of resource-based areas".

"Shanxi's transformation is not only a national strategy, but also a way to explore the world's resource-based areas," said Wang Yunzhu, a researcher at the Institute of energy, Shanxi Academy of social sciences. Shanxi thus puts forward the strategic goal of building an energy revolution pacesetter and takes the lead in transformation without hesitation. "

Wang Yunzhu introduced that Shanxi has successively become a national coal sustainable policy pilot, a comprehensive pilot of electric power system reform, and a pilot of coal-bed methane mining right approval reform, which is an important "experimental field" of national energy system and mechanism reform. Shanxi has built a national energy revolution pacesetter, launched and implemented 33 key core technology major projects of Shanxi energy revolution, and led by promoting energy revolution, accelerated the construction of national new comprehensive energy base, and constantly optimized the energy consumption structure and energy supply quality.

Be the leader of energy revolution

Not "coal boss", want to be the leader of the energy revolution, the land of Shanxi sounded a loud "clarion call" to march into the energy revolution. Shanxi is leading the transformation and development with the concept of low carbon, deepening the "four revolutions" of energy supply, consumption, technology and system, promoting international cooperation, and building a new modern energy system in an all-round way.

The quality of energy supply system continues to improve. The coal industry has taken the road of "reduction, optimization and green". In the past three years, it has withdrawn 88.41 million tons of excess coal capacity, accounting for 57% of the advanced coal capacity. Clean energy and new energy, such as coalbed methane, photovoltaic and wind power, have accelerated their development. The surface extraction of coalbed methane accounts for more than 90% of the country's total. The installed capacity of new energy power generation accounts for more than 30% of the installed capacity. The scale of photovoltaic power generation base ranks first in China.

The energy consumption structure is more reasonable. Taiyuan has become the world's first 100% pure electric taxi city. Linfen, Changzhi, Xinzhou and other cities have all realized pure electric bus. There are nearly 8000 new energy city buses in the province, accounting for about 60% of the total. Smart energy, multi energy complementary and other new business forms and new models are emerging, and clean energy alternatives such as coal to electricity and coal to gas are widely developed Now, "clean, low-carbon" is becoming a new "business card" of Shanxi energy consumption.

Breakthroughs have been made in key energy technologies. In 2018, Lu'an Group transformed coal into dozens of fine chemicals such as high-end lubricating oil through advanced coal chemical technology. With advanced component products, reliable services and strong brand influence, Jinneng technology has shipped more than 600MW in India
