At the meeting, Li Yunqing, director of the Economic Operation and Adjustment Bureau of the National Development and Reform Commission, introduced the clean and efficient utilization of
coal.

Li Yunqing said that the clean and efficient use of coal is related to national energy security and is very important
to promote the realization of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals.
The Party Central Committee and the State Council attach great importance to the clean and efficient use of coal, and the Central Economic Work Conference emphasizes that it is necessary to base on the basic national conditions of coal, grasp the clean and efficient use of coal, increase the capacity of new energy consumption, and promote the optimal combination of
coal and new energy.
The executive meeting of the State Council decided to set up a special re-loan to support the clean and efficient use of coal to promote green and low-carbon development
.
The National Development and Reform Commission and relevant parties have thoroughly implemented the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, continued to promote the green and low-carbon development of coal, achieved the goals of carbon peak and carbon neutrality, and promoted the transformation and upgrading of coal consumption and high-quality development

We should speed up the formulation of guiding opinions on promoting the high-quality development of coal, base on China's basic national conditions and development stages, adhere to the orientation of ecological priority and green development, put forward phased key goals and main measures, and promote the safe and green development of coal resources, clean and low-carbon utilization
.

The second is to play the role of
standards.
For the main coal-using industries, the benchmark and benchmark level of clean and efficient utilization of coal are proposed, and enterprises are guided to accelerate the pace of clean and efficient utilization and upgrading of coal, and the existing projects should reach the benchmark level and continue to move towards the benchmark level, and the new projects should in principle reach above
