Development of the Large-Scale Coal Base and the Modern Mine in China: The Present Situation and Future Tasks

Abstract:

The consumption of coal is increasing continuously with the development of economy. Coal accounting for 70% of total primary energy supply is the most key energy source in China. Thus, the modernization construction of coal industry is very important for China. The goal of this study is to research the present situation and future tasks of large-scale coal bases and modern mines construction in China. The results show that China is orderly constructing 14 large-scale coal bases. In the large-scale coal bases, more and more modern mines have been built, but Chinese coal industry modernization level still remains a lower level. At the same time, the results show that modern mine construction is not balanced in different bases. Based on the existing experience, therefore, promoting coal production capacity, applying the advanced technologies or methods, and advancing further modern mine construction, are major tasks of Chinese coal industry at present and in the future.
