Gu Xiulian, vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the 10th National People's Congress, pointed out that it has been eight years since she first participated in the 'China International Coal Chemical Forum and Exhibition' in 2010. Over the past eight years, modern coal chemical industry has developed from overheating to rational development. At present, enterprises in the industry are working hard to improve their internal skills, carry out in-depth innovation, improve quality, reduce costs and increase efficiency, achieve high-quality operation, and enhance the competitiveness of the industry. This is a gratifying phenomenon and an objective law of industrial development. She hopes to continue to put scientific and technological innovation at the core of the overall development of the industry, inject new momentum into the development of the industry, adhere to the path of green development, and continue to improve the level of environmental protection in the industry. We should give full play to the functions of organizational coordination and consulting services of trade associations, actively carry out various consulting services such as industry standard research, industry self-discipline, evaluation of demonstration projects, technology exchange and promotion, so as to promote the healthy and orderly development of the industry and help enterprises.

Fu Xiangsheng, Vice President of the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation, gave a keynote speech: He first introduced the current operation of the modern coal chemical industry. According to the statistics of the Coal Chemical Industry Committee of the China Petrochemical Federation, by the end of September this year, the coal-to-oil production capacity had reached 9.21 million tons, the first three quarters output had reached 41.47 million tons; the coal-to-natural gas production capacity had reached 5.105 billion square meters, the output had reached 2.01 billion square meters; the coal-to-to-olefins production capacity had reached 8. The output of coal-based ethylene glycol is 5.585 million tons; the output of coal-based ethylene glycol is 3.47 million tons and 16.63 million tons; the productivity of four types of projects has increased by 214.3%, 64.4%, 69.6% and 50.9% respectively compared with the beginning of the 13th Five-Year Plan. The demonstration project has been running steadily for a long period of time. Energy consumption, water consumption and 'three wastes' discharge have been continuously reduced. A number of new achievements have been made in technological innovation. He emphasized that under the situation that the industrial orientation has been clear, the whole industry has strengthened its confidence in the development of modern coal chemical industry, but we should also be soberly aware that the situation facing the development of modern coal chemical industry is complex and changeable, mainly manifested in the following aspects: first, limiting coal 'one size fits all', affecting the production of enterprises; second, the impact of diversification of petrochemical raw materials and light hydrocarbon projects; third, green development; Higher requirements have been put forward for modern coal chemical industry. Fourthly, the transportation of coal-based natural gas is restricted by people and the pressure of survival is high. Under the current complex situation, the modern coal chemical industry should continuously reduce the construction cost and production cost of the project and enhance the competitiveness and risk resistance of the industry by strengthening independent innovation, process system optimization and product upgrading.

Lu Health, deputy director of the Industrial Coordination Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, pointed out at the meeting that we should attach importance to the high-quality development of manufacturing industry and highlight the core position of manufacturing industry, which is the foundation of the rise of big powers. Accelerating the development of advanced manufacturing industry is an important way to solve the problem of insufficient development imbalance. He pointed out that China's modern coal chemical industry as a whole is still in the stage of upgrading and demonstration. The next step is to do a good job in the implementation of the 'Innovative Development and Distribution Plan for Modern Coal Chemical Industry' from three aspects: first, innovation, strengthening the innovation of core technology and key equipment, promoting product differentiation; second, intensive development, building a number of industrial bases with international level, and upgrading the industry. The third is green development, through the formulation of water consumption and energy consumption standards, the establishment of a green standard system, the introduction of intelligent technology to enhance the level of green development of the industry.

Pan Aihua, deputy director of the Raw Materials Industry Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, put forward three suggestions for the development of modern coal chemical industry. First, we should scientifically and comprehensively evaluate the modern coal chemical industry, find out and grasp the energy efficiency, coal consumption, water consumption and emission indicators of the actual operation of demonstration projects, and carry out benchmarking research, and put forward the direction of optimization and promotion and measures. Second, we should focus on building a technological innovation system with deep integration of industry, education and research. Around the important needs of the industry, we should intensify technological research and development, accelerate the transformation of advanced achievements, and open the way for technological innovation and industrial development. Thirdly, we should fully consider the promotion of technological progress and information technology and intelligent technology to modern coal chemical industry, optimize and adopt intelligent control transformation for existing enterprises, pre-design intelligent control for new construction projects, improve the operation efficiency of projects, further reduce production costs; at the same time, achieve real-time monitoring of safety and environmental protection.

Wang Siqiang, Director of Energy Conservation and Scientific and Technological Equipment Department of the State Energy Administration, put forward the direction of tackling key problems and upgrading coal deep processing technology from the energy point of view, that is, coal deep processing will be developed in accordance with the key directions of ultra-clean coal products, special oil products and low-rank coal quality utilization. Among them, direct coal liquefaction will focus on aviation coal and special kerosene; indirect coal liquefaction will be extended to downstream industries to achieve diversified development, and promote the co-production of the two; coal-to-natural gas should strengthen the optimization and upgrading of gasification technology, promote the development and implementation of waste water non-effluent technology.
