China Energy has integrated ecological progress into every link of production, construction and operation. It has followed a path of green, low-carbon and circular development featuring high-tech content, low resource consumption and less environmental pollution, with the discharge of all pollutants meeting established standards. The group has constantly accelerated the construction of green coal mines, green power plants, green transportation and green chemicals. More than 40 percent of all operating coal mines have been listed as green coal mines at ministerial or provincial levels. All of the group’s conventional coal-fired power plants have completed the transformation for ultra-low emissions, as well as desulfurization and denitrification, with some having realized “net zero.” The group has built 1,600 hectares of ecological shelter forest in 2,218 counties in China’s 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, bringing economic and social benefits to more than 10 million people.
