Coal Industry in China: Evolvement and Prospects
نویسنده
چکیده
China is the biggest country of coal production and coal consumption in the world (IEA). In 1998, China produced 1250 Mt of raw coal, accounting for 27.5% of total coal production in the world, and holding 71.9% of primary energy in China (SSB). Coal provides 77% of the energy for power generation, 65% of chemical raw material, and more than 50% of commercial civilian energy. The coal industry and relative sectors offer a lot of job opportunities. The economic development and social life in China are based on domestic energy production. Coal occupies more than 90% of proven reserves of nationally conventional energy (SETC). Therefore, the coal industry will still play a dominant role in national economy and social development in a quite long period in the future.
