The "Research Report on the Innovative Practices of Shanxi's State-owned Energy Enterprises" was released by the Economic Think Tank Division of China Economic Information Service at the Forum on Financial Support for "AI + Energy" Integrated Innovation held in Beijing on March 25.

The report highlights that Shanxi's State-owned energy companies have achieved significant progress in digital empowerment of energy production, green transition, and high-end product development, carving out a unique path for energy transition and innovation with Shanxi characteristics.

These enterprises have deeply integrated cutting-edge technologies such as digital twins, 5G communication, and the Internet of Things into the entire production process, turning "transparent mining" and "remote control" into reality. For instance, Shanxi Coking Coal Group has developed a digital service brand, establishing a digital platform and an empowerment center that covers the entire coal-steel-coke industrial chain.

Shanxi's State-owned energy enterprises have also achieved gains in both ecological and economic performance. In the field of green mining, Jinneng Holdings Group's Sanyuan Coal Industry uses paste filling mining techniques to promote the resource-based utilization of solid waste such as coal gangue and fly ash.

Additionally, these enterprises continue to make efforts to overcome technological barriers in sectors like high-end equipment and new materials. For example, high-end coal gasification equipment developed by Lu'an Chemical Machinery Group in collaboration with Tsinghua University has addressed the core challenge of efficiently gasifying low-quality coal, becoming a key driver in advancing China's coal gasification technology toward a more high-end and intelligent future.
