It mentions accelerating the transformation of energy development dynamics, promoting energy scientific and technological innovation, institutional innovation, and open cooperation. Speeding up research on green and low-carbon technologies, exploring differentiated technology routes for the efficient utilization of coal by quality and grade, focusing on modern coal chemical industry to tackle the conversion of low-rank coal, high-rank coal, and the utilization of carbon-based high value materials, exploring new technologies for carbon reduction, carbon capture, utilization, and storage. Precisely breaking through integrated innovation in coal mining technology, coal-aluminum co-mining, flexible and efficient power generation, coalbed methane development and utilization, new energy, energy storage technology, scale disposal and utilization of solid waste, key technologies and core equipment research and development in "artificial intelligence + energy", make efforts to build an important source of energy scientific and technological innovation and a base for the transformation of achievements. Cultivate and develop new formats of comprehensive energy services. Improve the market and pricing mechanisms adapted to the new energy system, continuously deepen the marketization reform of the power sector, actively integrate into the national unified electricity market, and accelerate the construction of coal and coke trading centers that radiate throughout the country. Deepen all-round energy cooperation and successfully host the Taiyuan Energy Low-carbon Development Forum to high standards.
