Experts recommend Jian Jin, Shan Meng Ning Gan “National Energy Security Special Economic Zone”

As an important energy resource rich region in China, coal reserves in Jinsi, Shaanxi, Mengning, Gansu and other five provinces and regions account for 68% of the country's total reserves. The energy resources in the Erdos Basin in the region account for about 35% of the country's total. It is the most important in our country. Energy production and supply base. Relevant experts believe that after the country initiates the preparation of the "Energy Planning for Energy Development and Utilization in the Ordos Basin", it is also necessary to consider from a strategic perspective the construction of the Jinan, Shaanxi, Mengning, Gansu National Energy Security Special Economic Zone, and the coordination of regional coal, oil, gas and electricity resources. The development of the industry coordinates the relationship between regional development and the orderly development of energy, solves a series of difficulties and problems in the current energy development process, and makes this economic zone a national energy center with a perfect three-dimensional industrial system. Play its role in the national energy security.

The most important energy supply base in China In recent years, with the rapid development of China's economy, the demand for energy has also been rising. Under this background, the strategic position of the energy-producing areas, including the five provinces of Shanxi, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia and Gansu, has become increasingly prominent. Currently, the amount of energy transferred here accounts for more than half of the country’s total amount of energy transferred, making this area the country’s most Important energy production and supply base.
As the second largest sedimentary basin in China, the Ordos basin has a total area of ​​4% of the country's land, and the energy resources it holds account for about 35% of the country's total. The proven reserves of natural gas, coalbed methane, and coal in the basin rank first in the country, and petroleum The resources ranks fourth in the country. The identified coal resources account for 39% of the country's total. Coalbed methane resources account for 16% of the country's total coalbed methane resources and natural gas recoverable resources account for 10% of the country's total resources.
Pan Yun, vice president of the Shanxi Provincial Academy of Social Sciences, said that with the gradual reduction of resources and the increased difficulty in mining, the trend of shifting the focus of energy in China to the west is becoming more apparent. Among the various energy resources in the five provinces of Shanxi, Shanxi, Ningxia, Gansu, and The status of coal is even more important. This is an area where China's coal resources are concentrated. Not only is it rich in coal resources, it is of excellent coal quality, and its geographic location is relatively close to the coal shortage areas in the east and southeast of China. It is the most important coal industry base in China.
The reserves of coal resources in Jinan, Shaanxi, Mengning and Gansu provinces are 694.4 billion tons, accounting for 68% of the country's total. Last year, Inner Mongolia’s coal production reached 787 million tons, ranking first in the country; followed by Shanxi and Shaanxi coal production reached 741 million tons and 355 million tons, and the five provinces’ coal production accounted for approximately 56% of the country’s total coal output. . The country’s new coal production also mainly concentrates in these areas.
Pan Yun believes that in light of the resource characteristics, regional development, and market demand of Shanxi, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia, and Gansu, it is already possible to construct a national energy economic zone that is relatively in-line and relatively independent and complete.

Overall solution to practical problems in energy development In recent years, the development of energy resources in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia, Gansu and other regions has been advancing rapidly. However, this development trend advantage also reveals that the development mode is extensive, the blind expansion is disordered, the waste of resources is obvious, and the ecological destruction is serious. A series of issues such as the intensification of conflicts of interest.
Wang Shuangming, director of the Shaanxi Provincial Bureau of Coal Industry, said that currently the development of energy production areas is facing many problems, mainly because it is difficult to optimize the energy development pattern, the use of resources is relatively extensive, the technical standards are low, and the energy utilization rate is low; the energy production area is ecologically fragile and the environment The pressure is high, the problem in the subsidence area is serious, the resource recovery rate is low, and the waste of resources is serious. The recovery rate of coal in many mining areas is only about 30%.
According to Zhang Huirong, member of the Fugu County Committee of Shaanxi Province, all resource-producing areas have the idea of ​​expanding the energy industry. This requires the country to consider them at the strategic level, otherwise there may be a phenomenon of overall imbalances, increasing industrial similarities and redundant construction. risks of. At present, the development of each mining area requires a unified plan to change the level of regional construction, the unbalanced development mode and degree of development, and the uncoordinated product and industrial structure.
Pan Yun, vice president of the Shanxi Provincial Academy of Social Sciences, said that how energy development is coordinated with the local economy is a huge problem faced by resource-producing areas such as Shanxi, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia, and Gansu. In the past, energy development did not play a significant role in driving the local economy. Many regions lag behind the national development. One of the important reasons is that energy development has always been a simple export of primary energy products, lack of extended industries and co-production industries, and the simple blood drawing mode of such energy development is not conducive to stimulating energy production areas. In addition, due to the fact that the interest distribution mechanism has not been straightened out, the game of interests between state-owned central enterprises, state-owned enterprises and local enterprises, governments, and local people has affected the orderly development of future energy, and even some regions have developed abnormally.
They said that the existence of these problems urgently needs to be resolved from the national level. The five provinces and regions of Shanxi, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia and Gansu Provinces will be used as an economic zone for energy development, which will help the country to solve the many problems facing the current energy development.

Comprehensively promote the construction of energy economic zones In 2008, the National Development and Reform Commission initiated the preparation of the “Energy Development and Utilization Plan of the Ordos Basin” and constructed a new energy base from the perspective of the national energy strategy. Subsequently, five provinces and autonomous regions of Shanxi, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia and Gansu Province began to formulate corresponding energy development and utilization plans. . The personage concerned analyzed that this plan is a good starting point for the construction of the Jinan, Shaanxi, Mengning, Gansu National Energy Security Special Economic Zone. In addition to the preparation of the overall plan, there is still a lot of work to be done in this region as a whole.
Wang Shuangming stated that in order to transform the extensive exploitation of resources, it is imperative to implement large group strategies, strengthen the intensive development of energy resources, establish efficient, intensive, and connotative development and utilization methods, increase the level of comprehensive utilization of resources, and promote the sustainable development of the coal industry.
Pan Yun and Zhang Huirong believe that the large-scale and high-intensity development of energy resources has brought about a series of environmental problems such as surface subsidence and water failure, and an effective compensation mechanism for resources and environment must be established. On the one hand, it is necessary to establish a sound compensation and recovery mechanism for the ecological environment of resources, integrate the cost of restoration and management of the ecological environment into a complete cost accounting system, and increase investment in ecological environmental governance. On the other hand, accelerating the promotion of reforms and improvement of resource tax and resource compensation fees shall be replaced by the collection of output in terms of resource consumption and the use of economic measures to protect energy resources. At present, it is advisable to extend Shanxi's resource compensation experience and Xinjiang's reform of resource tax pilots to the entire region of Shanxi, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia and Gansu, and implement a unified coal industry policy.
Zhao Jun, deputy general manager of Shaanxi Provincial Investment Group, Liu Bin, general manager of Shanxi Luan Coal-based Synthetic Oil Co., Ltd., and Li Jianwei, vice chairman of Shanxi Electric Power Industry Association, also believe that the five provinces of Shaanxi, Shaanxi, Mengning, Gansu need to coordinate and adjust coal chemical industry. , coal and electricity industry development. On the one hand, scientifically plan the layout of the coal chemical industry in the five provinces and regional division of labor, reasonably control the scale of construction, and prevent large-scale redundant construction. On the other hand, the development of pit power plants in coal-producing areas has changed the drawbacks of transporting coal over long distances and changed coal transmission into electricity transmission.
They also analyzed that China’s coal production sites are far from the coal consumption market, and with the westward shift and northward shift of the focus of coal development, the transport pattern of “West coal east transport” and “North coal and south transport” will be further highlighted, and transportation will become a restriction for Jinan, Shaanxi, and Inner Mongolia. One of the most serious constraints on the development of Gan. It is necessary to coordinate the construction of the transportation system in the Jinning, Shaanxi, Meningan and Gansu Energy Economic Zone. According to the layout of the energy base, it will be appropriate to advance ahead. According to the needs of energy transportation, it will plan and construct railways, highways, and pipelines in a unified way, build a diversified transportation system, and fundamentally ease traffic. Transport constraints on energy supply.
