On 8 july, the list of national science and technology awards for 2025 was published, and the project “crucial technology and applications for the development of scarce, high-quality legacy coal and coal layered gas green intelligence” led by the university of tertiary technology was awarded the national science and technology progress second prize, which was the only national science and technology award awarded to shanxi province in 2025。
The first person to complete the project is professor feng guo shwe。
According to publicly available information, feng guo shwe was born in july 1976, a person from shanxiyang city, and worked in july 2002 and joined the communist party of china in november 1997, with a postgraduate degree, a doctorate, a professor and a doctoral mentor. Fung guo shwe worked for the academy of mining engineering and the institute of science and technology of tai chi university, later director of the institute of science and technology of tai chi university, standing committee and vice-president of tai chi university, and currently secretary of the shanxi institute of energy, who was the recipient of the national fund for outstanding youth science, recipient of the national fund for excellence in youth science and leader in scientific and technological innovation of the national “manuer plan”。
Professor feng guo shwe has long been a member of the strategic advisory expert committee of the shanxi chemical industry institute and of the shanxi carbon and industrial innovation consortium. As an external expert in green-source carbon-sort technologies, professor feng guo shwe and companies maintain normal academic exchanges and industrial collaboration in the direction of carbon-mitigation technology path planning, efficient use of gas in the coal layer, etc。
The award-winning project, “strength and quality coal and coal-beded green intelligence development key technologies and applications”, is geared towards national energy security, new rounds of mine recovery and coal protection for major strategic needs. In response to the major challenges of coal and coal-bed exploration, green low-carbon development and digital intellectual transformation, it has created a high-precision system for the exploration of coal and coal-bed gas storage space and a precise method for determining the accuracy of pickability。
The project has achieved a subversive breakthrough in the development of the “china programme” for the development of leftover coal, with full ownership of intellectual property, from hard to large-scale systematic extraction. Project results have been replicated in 93 coal mines in the country and in 12 mines in countries such as russia, india and south africa, resulting in the multiplication of scarce and high-quality coal and coal-bed gas available and green low-carbon development。
The green source carbon initiative notes that the award of the second prize for scientific and technological progress to professor feng guo shwe is a recognition of the national authority for the development of this technology in the form of coal and coal-bed green intelligence. Green-source carbon-sort technologies will be used as an opportunity to continue to deepen their collaboration with professor feng guo shwe university of technology and tai chi, shanxi institute of energy and related scientific research institutions in order to accelerate the industrialization of key related technologies and contribute to the shanxi energy revolution and the national “two carbon” goal。
