ABSTRACT

Resource-based regions generally face challenges from multiple factors such as a single energy structure, insufficient technological innovation, and backward institutional mechanisms. Their energy transition is a systematic project involving multiple dimensions including technology, industry, and institutions. As a typical resource-based region, Shanxi Province has conducted active explorations in energy transition: its energy consumption structure has been continuously optimized, traditional fossil energy has been utilized in a clean and efficient manner, and the penetration rate of renewable energy has been increasing year by year. Systematically advancing energy transition from multiple dimensions—such as supply-side optimization, consumption-side reform, technological innovation, and policy guarantees—and building a new multi-energy coupled energy system have become a long-term mechanism for promoting resource-based regions to adjust their energy production and consumption structures and achieve sustainable development. The research results provide theoretical reference and practical guidance for resource-based regions to implement the dual-carbon strategic goals and realize green, low-carbon, and high-quality development.
