Abstract:

The western China, an important energy base for development strategy, exists a contradiction between abundant energy and frail environment, leading to a challenge in energy development. The energy development in western China, recently typified by “west gas to east” and “west electricity to east”, becomes a pillar industry in western China, so putting a pressure over eastern China’s environment, but deteriorating the western China’s. Some heavy industries like coal, power, smelt and chemical industries have been transferred to western China from eastern, promoting the economic growth on a basis of energy and investment, but rapidly consuming resources and destroying environment. This paper presents that a sustainable development of energy bases is a key point for a successful development of western China.

Key words:

development in western China; energy; environment; management

摘要：

西部能源是我国能源立足国内战略的重要组织部分，但在这一地区能源丰富与生态环境脆弱并存，使得西部的能源开发充满诱惑与风险。近几年，“西气东输”、“西电东送”成为西部能源开发的冲锋号角，能源开发已经成为西部一些省（区）经济发展的支柱产业。在这些能源开发中，一方面东部的环境治理压力得以减少；另一方面西部环境灾害却在增加。东部的煤炭、电力、冶炼、化工等重化工业转向西部，使西部的经济增长方式将长期维持高能耗和高投资的拉动方式，加重了西部资源和环境的损耗。如何保障西部能源基地可持续发展，将是西部开发成功的重要之举。
