(1) Coal resources
Inner Mongolia is one of the regions with the richest coal resources in China, with large coal seam area and wide distribution. The whole area is1183,000 square kilometers, and the proven coal-bearing area is120,000 square kilometers, accounting for about 10% of the total area of the whole area. Of the counties in the whole region 10 1, 67 counties store coal resources. The accumulated proven reserves in the whole region are 23 1765438+ 1 100 million tons, accounting for 22% of the national reserves. There are 9 coalfields with proven reserves exceeding1000 million tons, and 6 coalfields with proven reserves exceeding1000 million tons. Among them, Zhungeer coalfield reserves are 25.3 billion tons, Xilingol Shengli coalfield reserves are 26.5438+0.4 billion tons, Hulunbeier coalfield reserves are 26.5438+0.5 billion tons and Dongsheng coalfield reserves are 73.6 billion tons. At present, there are 1228 coal mines in Inner Mongolia, including 67 state-owned key coal mines, 96 local state-owned coal mines and 1065 township collective coal mines. It has formed 10 state-owned key coal production mining areas and four national key construction mining areas such as Shengli, Bai Yinhua, Baorixile and Wan Li, including Uda, Haibowan, Baotou, Pingzhuang, Dayan, Zhalainuoer, Huolinhe, Yimin, Zhungeer and Shendong.
The characteristics of coal resources in Inner Mongolia can be summarized as follows: first, the resources are widely distributed and the total amount is large; Second, the variety is complete and the quality is excellent, mainly low metamorphic bituminous coal and lignite, with low sulfur and high quality coal accounting for 70% of the total reserves and low ash and low sulfur bituminous coal accounting for 60% of the high quality coal; Third, the coal seam is shallow, with many thick coal seams, relatively simple geological structure and hydrogeological conditions, stable horizon, large coalfield and easy mining; Fourth, the main coal measures are rich in biological sources and associated mineral resources, which is conducive to the comprehensive development of other mineral resources.
(2) Production and consumption of coal
Since the Tenth Five-Year Plan, with the rapid economic growth, the demand for energy market inside and outside the region is strong, which has stimulated the rapid development of energy industry in our region, especially the coal industry, and the coal output has increased rapidly. In 2005, the coal output of the whole region reached 256.07 million tons, an increase of 20.60% compared with 2004 and 3 13.62% compared with 2006, which not only greatly exceeded the target of 95 million tons in the tenth five-year plan of the autonomous region, but also exceeded the annual output of 2013,200. During the five years from 2000/kloc-0 to 2005, Inner Mongolia produced 800 million tons of raw coal and exported 455 million tons of coal outside the region, accounting for 57% of the total. Inner Mongolia has become China's coal resource area, export area and export area. By the end of 2005, the installed capacity of thermal power reached19,966,900 kilowatts, and the annual power generation reached10,700,200 kilowatts/hour, an increase of 243.62% over 2000.
With the rapid growth of national energy market demand, large domestic energy enterprises have invested in energy projects in our region, which has promoted the diversification of investment subjects in the coal industry in our region and promoted the rapid growth of investment in the coal industry. In particular, the implementation of coal-electricity integration, coal chemical industry and other projects has promoted the extension of coal industry to upstream and downstream industries and promoted the development of related industries.
