Six departments, including the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration, issued “Benchmark Levels and Benchmark Levels for Key Areas of Clean and Efficient Utilization of Coal”, which takes into account the current development status and potential of the coal industry and includes coal consumption for coal-fired power generation heating, coal-to-natural gas, etc. on the basis of previous energy efficiency benchmarks and benchmark levels in key areas. Benchmark advanced levels in the field of clean and efficient coal at home and abroad, as well as advanced energy efficiency index values and the strictest pollutant emission requirements in existing national and local policies and standards, and improve the benchmark level for clean and efficient use of coal. The benchmark level for clean and efficient use of coal is scientifically determined by referring to entry values or limit values in current national standards and relevant indicators clearly defined in national policy documents. Benchmarking levels and benchmark levels in key areas of clean and efficient use of coal will be adjusted dynamically according to industry development and standard system revisions to strengthen the leading role of benchmarking levels and the binding effect of benchmark levels.
