On the morning of May 24th, some representatives were also organized to visit the nearby coal mine water upgrading and treatment project, the Tuke area coal mine water deep treatment project, and the 100000 tons/year liquid sunlight carbon dioxide hydrogenation to produce methanol project. The enterprise representatives who registered for the visit went deep into the front line of the project, and through the reception and explanation of the project owner/construction party, they experienced the charm of the landing of process technology on site.

After three days of intense and fulfilling activities, the 2026 Coal Mine and Coal Chemical Environmental Protection Industry Conference has achieved fruitful results with the joint efforts of attending experts, enterprise representatives, and audience. The conference not only provides a platform for the industry to exchange, showcase, and cooperate, but also consolidates industry consensus, clarifies development directions, and opens up a new journey for the green development of the coal mining and coal chemical industries during the 15th Five Year Plan period. Through this conference, communication and cooperation within the industry have been further strengthened, innovation and application of environmental protection technologies have been promoted, and the green transformation of coal mines and coal chemical industries has been facilitated. In the future, we will continue to strive to build an industry exchange platform, promote technological innovation and industrial development, and contribute more to the sustainable development of China's energy industry.

Finally, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the leaders, experts, representatives, and audience who participated in this conference.Editor/Gong Ziwei
