Abstract: Deep coal resources with abundant reserves and considerable thermal potential are receiving increased attention in mining engineering, given the accelerating transformation of the global energy structure and the growing demand for clean energy. To address extraction challenges and environmental pressures while ensuring economic feasibility and sustainable development, efforts are made to enable carbon reduction and green transformation under high-efficiency utilization of deep coal resources. A systematic review of “deep coal resource fluidized mining”, “coal chemical mining”, and “coal-based power” informs the introduction of a detonation-generation mining approach and its technical framework. The approach places coal-powder detonation combustion technology at its core and integrates advanced detonation combustion-mechanical/magnetohydrodynamic power generation, forming a detonation-turbine/MHD hybrid power system that supports efficient conversion and clean utilization of coal resources. Four fundamental theories are presented, including the Coal-powder Detonation Energy Release mechanism, the Coupled Coal-powder Detonation-generation Power Scheme, a Full Life Cycle Detonation-power Generation Dynamic Management Mechanism, and the Blasting-electric Power Deep coal mining theory and method. Discussion centers on four key technologies: Stable coal/gas two-phase detonation, detonation model construction and dynamic process optimization, detonation-based power generation efficiency assessment, and comprehensive design for detonation-based coal mining, demonstrating their role in upgrading deep coal mining practices. On this foundation, a systematic engineering strategy is proposed to clarify the synergy between mining processes and the detonation-based power generation mode, highlight safety management and process optimization priorities at each critical stage, and refine the overall detonation-generation pathway for deep coal resource development. This pathway offers valuable insights for establishing a coal-based power system and promoting the clean and efficient utilization of deep coal resources in China.
