Stressing the extreme importance of national energy security, Han said the country should promote the clean and efficient utilization of coal and bolster the fundamental role of coal in energy and power supply.

The clean and efficient use of coal is a vital path to achieving the country's carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals, he said, calling for moves to advance a green transition of energy in a scientific and orderly manner.

China should focus on key fields and sectors and advance energy conservation and carbon reduction retrofits in coal-intensive industries like power, he said.

The vice-premier also called for efforts to popularize advanced energy conservation technologies and achieve breakthroughs in core technologies in this field.

The country should scale up financial support for clean coal, with measures to anchor market expectation and encourage the participation of social capital, Han added.
