In order to achieve green and low-carbon development and improve its competitiveness in the new power system in the future,the coal-fired power generation industry urgently needs to undergo transformation and reform. This is due to the joint requirement of accelerating the construction of ecological civilization and the goal of " carbon peak and carbon neutralization" . In this paper, three major challenges facing the coal-fired power generation industry in reducing carbon emissions in the context of " dual carbon" were discussed, including the traditional design parameters of the coal-fired power generation industry, the installed capacity of new energy sources, and thesecurity of the power system. In order to assure the security of power system supply, the coal-fired power generation industry should transition from supplying base load power supply to regulatory power supply and take on the roles of " Ballast Stone" and " Stabilizer" in the newpower system. In order to solve the contradiction between the stability of the power system and low-carbon development, the low-carbondevelopment path of the coal-fired power generation industry must be analyzed from multiple perspectives. Then, the paths that the coalpower industry can follow for the development of a low-carbon transition were examined from various angles, including those relatedto coal-fired generation units, coal fuel and combustion, clean coal power generation technology, carbon capture, carbon trading, andspot trading, providing various reference points for the coal-fired power industry to simultaneously carry out the development of a low-carbon emission reduction transition. At the same time, in the context of " Dual Carbon" , it will strive for more survival opportunities forthe coal power industry, which is undergoing a challenging phase-out. It is worth noting that these low-carbon transformation and development paths also need the relevant government departments to introduce relevant policies to provide support, such as regular governmententerprise co-operation, the coal-fired power generation industry can achieve high-efficiency, green and low-carbon transformation anddevelopment as soon as possible.
