During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, more than 80 provincial-level and above energy technology innovation platforms were established in Shanxi.

During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, Shanxi Province invested approximately 5 billion yuan in research and development, establishing over 80 energy technology innovation platforms at or above the provincial level, effectively supporting the energy transition in Shanxi Province. Shanxi focuses on the safe and efficient mining of coal, leading the industry with independently developed equipment such as the "Coal Sea Dragon" excavation equipment and large-scale intelligent electric shovels for open-pit mines. Green mining technologies such as backfill mining and water-preserving mining have been promoted as demonstrations, strengthening the industry's supply chain with key technologies and equipment. Advanced mining capacity in Shanxi coal mines has reached 83%, overcoming key technologies such as deep coal seam gas, thin coal seam gas, and simultaneous extraction of coal and coal seam gas, contributing to Shanxi Province's coal seam gas production exceeding 80% of the national total. Furthermore, Shanxi's clean and efficient coal conversion technologies for coal-to-oil and coal-to-low-carbon olefins are internationally leading, with Luan Chemical Coal-to-Oil production exceeding 1 million tons and a series of coal-based synthetic products filling domestic gaps. The "Jinhuafurnace" has solved the "three highs" coal gasification problem, with a national market share of over 50%. In addition, Shanxi has made positive progress in technology related to green energy parks, smart grids, deep geothermal energy, and biomass energy.
