On May 4, 2022, the People's Bank of China announced: "With the approval of The State Council, the People's Bank of China increased the special reloan line of 100 billion yuan to support the clean and efficient utilization of coal, specifically to support the development and use of coal and enhance the coal reserve capacity. The new quota support areas include safe coal production and storage, as well as thermal coal supply for coal and power enterprises. The 100 billion yuan increase will bring the total amount of special reloans to support clean and efficient use of coal to 300 billion yuan, which will help further release advanced coal production capacity, ensure a safe and stable energy supply, and support economic operation within a reasonable range."

In the context of dual carbon targets, challenges and opportunities coexist. Coal, as a key industry for emission reduction, is also the bottom guarantee for China's energy transformation. Whether it can make full use of the government's support for technological upgrading and industrial transformation is an important factor for coal enterprises to survive or even break out of the cocoon.

2022年5月4日，人民银行发布公告：“经国务院批准，人民银行增加1000亿元支持煤炭清洁高效利用专项再贷款额度，专门用于支持煤炭开发使用和增强煤炭储备能力。新增额度支持领域包括煤炭安全生产和储备，以及煤电企业电煤保供。此次增加1000亿元额度后，支持煤炭清洁高效利用专项再贷款总额度达到3000亿元，有助于进一步释放煤炭先进产能，保障能源安全稳定供应，支持经济运行在合理区间。”

在双碳目标的背景下，挑战与机遇并存，煤炭作为减排重点行业的同时也是我国实现能源转型的兜底保障，能否充分利用政府的支持进行技术升级和产业转型，是煤炭企业存活乃至于破茧重生的重要因素。
