On the morning of October 28, 2025, the 21st China International Coal Mining Technology Exchange and Equipment Exhibition opened grandly at the China International Exhibition Center. Many people in the industry gathered together to discuss the development path of the coal industry.
Li Yanjiang, Secretary of the Party Committee of China Coal Industry Association, pointed out in his speech that coal is my country’s main energy source and important industrial raw material. Since the “14th Five-Year Plan”, the coal industry has implemented the new energy security strategy in depth, with the theme of promoting high-quality development of coal, deepening the supply-side structural reform as the main line, coordinating energy security and coal’s green and low-carbon development, and the high-quality development of the industry has reached a new level.
The high-quality development of my country’s coal machinery equipment has also taken solid steps, achieving three major transformations from manufacturing to creation, from speed to quality, and from products to brands.
A number of major innovative achievements, such as 10-meter ultra-large mining height intelligent fully mechanized mining technology and equipment, intelligent coal preparation and coal mine robots, fully demonstrate the results of the high-quality development of my country’s coal equipment manufacturing industry, laying a solid foundation for safe and efficient production of coal mines and safe and stable supply of coal, and making important contributions to ensuring national energy security.
He also said that the Chinese coal industry is willing to continue to deepen exchanges and expand cooperation with the International Coal Organization, domestic and foreign enterprises, and all sectors of society to jointly promote the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation in the entire coal industry chain, and help the coal industry develop toward high-end, intelligent, and green development.
Gao Shigang, Deputy Secretary, Director and General Manager of the Party Committee of China Coal Energy Group, pointed out that the China International Mining Exhibition focuses on the safe and efficient mining and clean and efficient utilization of coal, comprehensively displays the latest technology and equipment in the mining field, and demonstrates that technological innovation leads industrial change.
The majestic power of innovation; implementing the dual-cycle strategy of “bringing in and going out” to build an international stage, reflecting the increasing international influence and industry cohesion; innovating exhibition models, optimizing the exhibition experience, and bringing high-quality, all-perspective new exhibition experience to exhibitors and audiences.
Centering on the “carbon-carbon” double chain of “coal” and “carbon dioxide”, China Coal focuses on the advantages of the “coal-electricity-chemical-new” industrial chain, implements the “two joint ventures +” development model of coal + coal power, coal power + new energy, accelerates the construction of the “two hedging” mechanism, comprehensively promotes the safe, clean and efficient development and utilization of coal, strives to create new-quality productivity, and makes greater contributions to the high-quality development of the coal industry.
Lu Junling, chief economist of the National Energy Administration, fully affirmed the outstanding contributions made by the coal industry to ensure national energy security, meet economic development and people’s energy use since the “14th Five-Year Plan”.
He pointed out that the intelligent construction of coal mines has been advanced in depth, and a number of world-leading iconic equipment such as drilling and anchoring integrated rapid boring machines, 10m ultra-large mining height fully mechanized mining equipment, and 300-ton mining trucks have been successfully put into use, promoting the coal industry to continue to achieve historic achievements and historic changes.
During the “15th Five-Year Plan” period, the coal industry must deeply understand the decisive significance of the “two establishments”, strengthen the “four consciousnesses”, strengthen the “four self-confidences”, and achieve “two maintenances”, promote the deep integration of technological innovation and coal industry innovation, generate more new productive forces, and further promote the high-quality development of the coal industry.
Coal scientific and technological innovation and equipment progress must be based on the reality of the coal industry, conform to the international scientific and technological development trend, accelerate original innovation and key core technology research, further consolidate the basic guarantee and system adjustment role of coal, and make due contributions to China-style modernization.
Pei Wentian, member of the Party Leadership Group and Deputy Director of the National Mine Safety Supervision Bureau, comprehensively summarized the achievements of high-quality development of coal mine safety production during the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, and pointed out that the “15th Five-Year Plan” period is a critical period for promoting the green and low-carbon transformation and high-quality development of the coal industry.
The National Mine Safety Supervision Bureau adheres to cultural guidance, law enforcement and enforcement, science and technology to promote safety, smart safety, and service to assist safety. It always regards scientific and technological innovation, equipment upgrades, and intelligent construction as the key to preventing and resolving major safety risks and improving intrinsic safety levels, and vigorously promotes the development of new productivity in the field of mine safety.
China International Mining Exhibition has effectively promoted the integration of concepts, policy communication, unimpeded trade and practical cooperation in coal machinery technology and equipment in the world’s coal field. It has become a highly influential exhibition in the world’s coal field and an important platform and link to strengthen exchanges and cooperation in the international coal industry and promote the development of coal technology and equipment.
With the theme of “Empowering New Quality, Inspiring the Future with Intelligence”, this exhibition brings together the world’s most important equipment and has an unprecedented scale of participation.
The exhibition has more than 1,200 well-known domestic and foreign coal machinery manufacturing companies from 17 countries and regions including China, France, Germany, the United States, the Czech Republic, the United Kingdom, Russia, and Sweden, and the number of visitors is expected to exceed 150,000.
For the first time, this exhibition uses the China International Exhibition Center and the Capital International Convention and Exhibition Center simultaneously to achieve “double-venue linkage and integrated operation”. A total of 11 themed exhibition halls are set up. The exhibition scale exceeds 160,000 square meters, which comprehensively improves the exhibition experience.
The exhibition will comprehensively display the latest technologies and equipment in coal mine intelligent construction, green and low-carbon transformation, clean and efficient utilization, and new energy.
