The global coal industry is preparing for one of the most influential events of the decade—the 2026 World Coal Technology Innovation Conference and World Coal Industry Expo, scheduled for March 7–9, 2026, at the Shanghai New International Expo Center. Guided by China National Innovation and Development Strategy Research Association and organized by its Energy Industry Research Institute, the event aims to build a world-class platform for cooperation, innovation, and exchange across the entire coal value chain.
The conference follows President Xi Jinping’s important instructions to “做好煤炭这篇大文章” (“do a solid job in the article of coal”), and deeply implements the national energy security strategy known as “Four Reforms and One Cooperation.” The 2026 event seeks to promote high-level global dialogue, strengthen international industry collaboration, and accelerate the modernization of coal mining technologies.
A Global Platform for Intelligent Mining and Clean Utilization
Coal remains a critical component of global energy systems, especially for emerging economies. As energy transitions accelerate worldwide, achieving smarter, cleaner, and more efficient coal production is a shared challenge. The 2026 conference will bring together leading nations—including the United States, Russia, India, Indonesia, Australia, Kazakhstan, and Mongolia—to present cutting-edge solutions in mining, exploration, transportation, trade, logistics, clean utilization, and digital transformation.
Exhibitors from around the world will showcase new technologies, new products, and innovative solutions in sectors such as coal extraction equipment, mine transportation systems, digital mining software, smart mining machinery, clean coal processing technologies, and more.
