Shandong Energy Independent Innovation Opens up a New World

Under the backdrop of the global economic downturn and the declining coal market, coal companies rely on what they do to turn their backs and turn their losses into profits. The world's top 500 enterprises, Shandong Energy Group, have not been able to rely on it, and have explored a breakthrough path to promote enterprise development through independent innovation and business model innovation.

Today, the "integrated energy solution provider" is the new position that Shandong Energy Group puts forward for itself. Since the country's coal industry took the lead in putting forward this concept, Shandong Energy Group has taken "leading the industry first" as its own responsibility. “We are not afraid that newcomers will enter, nor will we be able to prevent latecomers from entering. However, we still have a first-mover advantage in terms of service system construction, customer resource development, and customer recognition.” Wu Changsen, chairman of Shandong Energy Group, told reporters, “'Energy synthesis' The solution provider is based on the concept of coal as the core, coal chemical industry, equipment manufacturing, modern service industry as the main body, which runs through the upstream and downstream industries of the coal industry. We propose this concept in order to get rid of the single situation of coal production and realize Full industry chain competition."

With its own technological advantages, Shandong Energy Group fully explores its potential in resource exploration and development, efficient use of resources, logistics and distribution, inventory management, fund settlement, reuse of resource waste, and other changes in output coal as an output technology service. For customers in the technical service market, Shandong Energy Group has integrated 13 professional companies and established a mining management service group to form a “nanny” production service model integrating exploration, design, infrastructure construction, and custody services, with a more stable profitability. The profitable space is even wider and the ability of companies to resist risks has been greatly improved.

“Under the optimistic environment of the economic situation, coal companies can achieve development in the short term by strengthening management, reducing costs and improving efficiency, but in order to achieve long-term, efficient development and development, we must rely on our own innovation.” Innovation is the fundamental way to enhance the competitiveness and profitability of enterprises.

Shandong Energy Group has explored the development path of strategic new industries such as high-end equipment manufacturing, new energy, and clean utilization of traditional energy by exploring the international and domestic economic trends and energy industry development trends after 10 to 20 years. Taking clean and efficient use of coal as one of the key areas for future business development, we have built a number of state-level energy-saving and environmental protection equipment manufacturing bases and developed comprehensive harnessing equipment for atmospheric, water and solid waste. At the same time, the group built new coal chemical bases such as coal tar deep processing, coal needle coke, coal glycol, mesophase pitch, and coal-to-olefin, which on the one hand improved the profitability of the company and on the other hand found multiple Supporting points, to get rid of the situation of relying solely on coal production, make enterprises stand more stable in the industry storm.

In order to apply the innovation results to practice, Shandong Energy Group has formulated a series of rules and regulations, from the organization of independent innovation, scientific development planning, to the source of innovation funds, the fund application process and supervision of fund use management, award scope, standards, reporting procedures, etc. , have been defined in detail, so that companies have independent innovation rules.

In order to solve the technical problems of rockburst, Shandong Energy Group applied for the establishment of the Shandong Province Rockburst Pressure Control Engineering Research Center; it cooperated with colleges and universities to build the National Engineering Laboratory for Deep Rock Engineering and Disaster Control, and began joint research on water and other related issues. The National Engineering Technology Center for mine pressure monitoring and mine water monitoring jointly with universities and scientific research institutes mainly conducts joint research on coal mine pressure theory and monitoring technology.

Shandong Energy Group has created a good atmosphere of innovation. It plans to establish two postdoctoral workstations and 10 national innovation platforms during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, and introduce five national “Thousand Persons Program” experts and 20 industry leaders and disciplines. Leaders, at the same time, use the innovation platform as the carrier to advance the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and strive to take the lead in independent innovation of state-owned enterprises in terms of high-level platform construction, the introduction of high-level talent, the number of patents, and the conversion rate of scientific and technological achievements.
