In order to implement the strategic plans of the CPC National Congress on further promoting the energy revolution, enhancing the clean and efficient use of coal, and accelerating the planning and construction of a new energy system, The Counsellors' Office of the State Council, together with State Energy Group, China National Petroleum Corporation, State Grid Corporation Limited, China Minmetals Corporation, China Energy Research Society and Beijing Normal University, set up a cooperative research mechanism on "Energy Transformation and High-Quality Development".

On the morning of Nov 1, the launch meeting of the cooperative research on "Energy Transformation and High-quality Development" was held in Beijing.Gao Yu, Party Secretary and Director of the Counsellors' Office of the State Council; Liu Guoyue, Party secretary and chairman of the State Energy Group; Zhang Zhigang, deputy Party secretary and general manager of the State Grid Corporation; Cheng Jianping, Party secretary of Beijing Normal University; Shi Yubo, chairman of the China Energy Research Society; Duan Liangwei, Deputy Party Secretary and director of the China National Petroleum Corporation; Jiao Jian, member of the Party Group and deputy general manager of China Minmetals Corporation attended the meeting and delivered a speech, and Zhang Yantong, member of the Party Group and deputy director of the Counsellors' Office of the State Council presided over the meeting.Heads of think tanks from central energy enterprises, industry associations and universities attended the meeting.

Gao Yu pointed out that the Party's 20 National Congress report proposed to actively yet prudently promote carbon neutralization, based on China's energy and resource endowment, further promote the energy revolution, accelerate the planning and construction of a new energy system, which put forward higher requirements for the high-quality development of China's energy, under the premise of effectively guaranteeing energy security, research and explore a more resilient sustainable development of energy strategy. To promote the transformation from energy consumption dual control to carbon emission dual control, to help China's energy transformation and steady development, the urgent need for a high level of intellectual support system.The Counsellors' Office of the State Council proposes to set up a cooperative research mechanism on "Energy Transformation and high-quality Development", which aims to bring together the forces of government, industry, universities and research institutes, closely focus on the implementation of the 20 spirit of the Party, focus on the strategic needs of national energy under the new situation, focus on energy security and promote high-quality development, and conduct investigation and research on major strategic, overarching and forward-looking issues. To integrate superior resources, carry out practical research, and jointly serve the overall work of the Party and the country.

Liu pointed out that it is timely and significant to launch a cooperative research mechanism on "Energy transformation and high-quality development" at a time when the whole country is deeply studying and implementing the Party's 20 national spirits, which will help serve the national strategy and contribute to the construction of a new energy system.Zhang Zhigang believes that to carry out the cooperative research on "Energy transformation and high-quality development" is a powerful measure to study and implement the Party's twenty great spirits.
