在20世纪的前50年,加拿大能源的50%靠煤炭来满足,到60年代,石油取代了煤炭,煤炭消费下降到20%。之后,由于油价升高,沿太平洋地区冶金业对煤的需求强劲,促使煤炭生产商开发这块市场。1979年加拿大产煤33.0Mt,2001年上升为70.0Mt。但大部分煤矿为露天开采,到2003年,加拿大仅有一座井工煤矿在生产。井工煤矿的发展前景尽管井工矿目前经营惨淡,但未来还是光明的。在布雷顿角井工矿关闭几年之后,省政府着手出售剩余的煤炭资源,目前已 In the first half of the 20th century, 50% of Canada’s energy was met by coal. By the 1960s, oil replaced coal and coal consumption dropped to 20%. Later, as the price of oil rose, the demand for coal along the metallurgical industry in the Pacific was strong, prompting coal producers to develop the market. In 1979, Canada produced 33.0 Mt of coal and increased to 70.0 Mt in 2001. However, most of the coal mines are open-pit mines. By 2003, only one coal mined borehole was in production in Canada. Prospects for the Development of Jingong Coal Mine Despite the bleak business of the mine at present, the future is still bright. Several years after the Bretton Hole mine was closed, the provincial government set out to sell the remaining coal resources that have now
