煤炭是我国的主要能源，也是人类生存环境的重要污染源。为保证煤炭工业的健康可持续发展，必须发展洁净煤技术，开发和利用优质、洁净煤资源。中国西部有丰富的优质煤资源，西部大开发为煤炭工业的发展提供了新的机遇，但对西部的煤炭资源，必须合理规划，有序开发，实现资源开发和生态保护的良好循环。 Coal is the main energy source in our country and also an important source of pollution for the living environment of mankind. In order to ensure the healthy and sustainable development of the coal industry, clean coal technology must be developed to develop and utilize high-quality and clean coal resources. The western part of China is rich in high-quality coal resources. The development of the western region has provided new opportunities for the development of the coal industry. However, it must rationally plan and orderly develop the coal resources in the west so as to realize a good cycle of resource development and ecological protection.
