Under the "dual carbon" goal, the development direction of the coal chemical industry:

1. The "dual-carbon" goal drives the transformation of the energy structure. In the process from high-carbon to low-carbon development, the total energy demand will continue to increase. By then, the complementary integration of multiple energy sources will be needed to maximize the advantages;

2. Under the "dual carbon" goal, in order to reduce carbon emissions and achieve green development, the metallurgical industry is also promoting technological innovation, reducing the use of coal, and even using clean resources such as hydrogen as raw materials;

3. Using coal as a raw material, through complex process operations such as gasification, liquefaction, and dry distillation, it is transformed into many products such as methanol, ethylene glycol, coal-to-liquid, and olefins, becoming an important supplement to the petrochemical industry chain;

4. The role of coal in the chemical industry is still difficult to be completely replaced in a short time, so the clean and efficient use of coal is the focus of the development of the coal chemical industry;

5. The new round of technological revolution represented by the Internet, big data, intelligence, and green is deeply integrated with industrial development, and the ability to replace new energy and renewable energy is significantly enhanced.

With the maturity of new-generation digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, Internet of Things, and cloud computing, traditional informatization construction has been gradually upgraded to a new digital transformation, and the modern coal chemical industry must embark on a clean, efficient, green, and low-carbon Road of development.
