Current state of China′s coal preparation and processing undertakings and motions for boosting future development

In light of the current state of coal preparation and processing undertakings and against the backdrop of change of energy consumption in China, the author first elaborates on the necessity of developing the coal preparation and processing sector under the scenario of achieving the dual strategic goals of peaking carbon emissions and achieving carbon neutrality, and then analyzes the existing problems that are confronted with and the insufficiencies in these field. It is proposed to boost the development of the sector by taking such measures as expansion of the scope of professional knowledge of the personnel working in the sector, improvement of management mechanism, close coordination and linking between upstream and downstream process links, and application of scientifically sophisticated coal cleaning processes and equipment, so as to realize improvement of coal preparation efficiency, reduction of energy consumption, low-carbon and high-efficiency development of coal preparation sector, and the smooth achievement of the strategic dual carbon goals.
