Title: Clean Coal Technology and Its Role in the Adjustment of China’ s Energy Consumption Structure
Abstract: Some problems can be discovered through analyzing the current status of energy production and consumption in China. The coal resource is abundant in China. However, high consumption ratio of coal as the end use caused serious air and ground pollution, which influenced and restricted the development of the national economy to a great extent. With the development of the national economy, the continual increasing of oil consumption in recent years aggravates progressively the conflict between supply and demand of oil. The dependency of import oil has been up to 30% , which has brought about larger and larger pressure of foreign exchange payment. The oil security has been concerned with the security of national energy. The natural gas cannot meet the demands taken from long views. Therefore, China’ s energy development should be of plural pattern with high-efficiency and clean energy resources, estab lished in domestic resources and based on coal. Clean coal technology can effectively improve the coal efficiency and reduce the pollution of dust and SO2. The development of clean coal technology is beneficial to optimization of energy structure, adjustment of industrial structure and technological structure, and sustainable development of national economy.
