Abstract:

Coal is one of the most important energy resources in China. Under the pressure of environment protection and global climate change, the proportion of coal to the whole energy consumed will decrease in China. But considering the huge energy resources, China will still take coal as its major energy. During industrialization process, China will have a huge demand for energy. It is predicted that 92.4 billion tones of coal will be consumed from 2010 to 2035. Abundant as coal resource is, China's effective supply of coal is constrained by problems such as the separation of production and consumption areas, the high cost of mining, the increasing pressure of eco-environment, etc. Obviously it is unrealistic for China to meet such an enormous demand for coal by itself. Under the condition of safe supply of energy, it is reasonable to import appropriate amount of coal. Surrounding countries such as Australia, Indonesia, Mongolia and the far east area of Russia are abundant in coal and should be considered as the important sources of coal imported by China in the future.
