en.Wedoany.com Reported - Recently, four departments in Hebei Province, China—the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, the Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology, the Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and the Provincial Administration for Market Regulation—jointly issued the "Implementation Plan for Promoting High-Quality Development of Energy Equipment in Hebei Province (2026-2030)." The plan proposes that by 2030, the province will achieve significant results in the high-quality development of the energy equipment industry, with continuously enhanced innovation capabilities, and will have basically formed a modern energy equipment industrial system featuring a rational layout, complete chains, advanced technology, and safety and reliability. Focusing on areas such as deep mining, intelligent tunneling, and intelligent fully mechanized mining, the plan deploys key tasks including the intelligent upgrade of coal equipment and the low-carbon transformation of thermal power equipment.

Regarding the intelligent upgrade of coal equipment, the plan calls for tackling key technologies in high-end coal machinery equipment, with a focus on developing intelligent rapid tunneling complete equipment suitable for complex geological conditions, high-power explosion-proof intelligent auxiliary transport equipment, intelligent fully mechanized mining complete equipment for ultra-high mining heights and extra-thick coal seams, and continuous mining equipment for ten-million-ton open-pit mines. At the same time, it aims to accelerate the R&D and application of mining robots, intelligent sensors, fault diagnosis, and remote operation and maintenance systems, promote high-efficiency and energy-saving coal machinery products, and carry out the renewal and transformation of outdated equipment. These measures aim to enhance the safety and efficiency of coal mining through intelligent means.

For thermal power equipment, the plan proposes driving the upgrade of conventional thermal power equipment towards "deep peak shaving, fast regulation, strong support, wide load range, high resilience, and low emissions," focusing on four directions: clean carbon reduction, safety and reliability, efficient regulation, and intelligent operation. In terms of clean carbon reduction, it supports the R&D and application demonstration of technologies and equipment such as carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) and coal power coupled with biomass/energy storage, focusing on the development of new CCUS absorbents and the manufacturing of key equipment for carbon dioxide storage and utilization. It also calls for systematic research on ammonia-coal and hydrogen-coal co-firing, breaking through core technological bottlenecks such as combustion stability control and denitrification synergy. In terms of safety and reliability, it promotes the upgrade of high-fatigue-resistance welding manufacturing processes.

In the area of efficient regulation, the plan proposes promoting high-efficiency and flexible regulation equipment such as high-temperature steam compressors and electrode boiler heat storage to enhance the peak-shaving adaptability of coal power systems. For intelligent operation, it proposes building an industrial digital platform to drive the transformation of coal power operation models from passive response to active prediction, comprehensively improving the industry's intelligent operation and management level. This implementation plan clarifies the development path for Hebei Province's energy equipment industry from 2026 to 2030, using intelligent upgrades and low-carbon transformation as the two main drivers to promote the technological iteration of traditional coal power and coal equipment.
