High-carbon resources have primarily been used as energy sources for over half a century. Although it has greatly promoted theprosperity and development of human society,it has also caused serious damage to the Earth's environment,especially the burning of highcarbon resources that releases a large amount of greenhouse gases,posing a serious threat to sustainable human development. From theperspective of global development and utilization of high carbon resources,promoting low-carbon utilization of high carbon resources isan inevitable trend for future development and a necessary way to solve major environmental problems such as climate change andecological damage. Therefore,systematically elaborates on the development process of high carbon resources and the problems they face,analyzes the necessity of achieving low-carbon utilization of high carbon resources,and explores specific ways of low-carbon utilization ofhigh carbon resources such as coal,oil,and natural gas. The conclusion is that:① In the short term,measures such as optimizing theenergy structure,improving resource utilization efficiency,and promoting carbon capture,utilization,and storage (CCUS) technologycan be taken to gradually reduce the carbon emission intensity of high carbon resources,achieving low-carbon,clean,and efficientutilization throughout the entire process from source to end. ② In the long run,fully utilizing the raw material properties of high carbonresources. By continuously optimizing and innovating the use of technology,promoting the refinement and high-value utilization of highcarbon resources. Effectively reducing carbon emissions through the production of chemicals lays the foundation for achieving sustainable development and long-term carbon neutrality goals. ③ Looking ahead to the future,with the rapid development of renewable resources.Further integrating high carbon resources with renewable resources will become an important path to address the challenges of globalenergy transition and carbon reduction.
