The coal-to-olefins process, an industrial method for converting coal into olefins, plays a vital role in meeting energy demands and chemical production. However, this process also faces significant carbon emission challenges. With global emphasis on environmental protection and carbon reduction, addressing the carbon footprint of coal-to-olefins technology has become imperative. This study analyzes carbon emission sources within the process, identifies key influencing factors, and proposes mitigation strategies including process optimization, enhanced energy efficiency, and implementation of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies. Through these measures, effective carbon reduction can be achieved in coal-to-olefins operations, thereby advancing sustainable development.
