澳大利亚煤炭工业发展趋势

澳大利亚拥有丰富的煤炭资源,煤炭生产规模排名世界前5位,多年居于世界第一大煤炭出口国的位置。对近30年来澳大利亚煤炭在能源消费和生产中的地位和作用、煤炭生产开发特征及优势、煤矿安全生产与职业健康水平及有益做法、煤炭出口增长、煤炭科技创新发展过程及有效机制等方面进行了研究分析。通过分析发现:煤炭在澳大利亚一次能源消费与生产中占有重要地位,煤炭是其重要的发电燃料;澳大利亚硬煤资源开发条件优越,昆士兰州保持着第一大产煤州的地位;煤炭开采以露天开采为主;煤矿安全及生产形势已得到根本好转,但井工煤矿事故死亡人数是露天煤矿的近2倍;在煤炭出口方面,动力煤出口数量增长高于炼焦煤,但澳大利亚是世界上最大的炼焦煤出口国;在煤炭科技创新方面,进入21世纪第2个10年,澳大利亚煤炭科技开始探索数字技术应用。

Development trend of Australian coal industry

Australia is rich in coal resources.Scale of coal production in Australia ranks top 5 in the world,and it has been the world's largest coal exporter for many years.The status and role of coal in energy consumption and production,the characteristics and advantages of coal production and development,the level and beneficial practices of coal mine safety and occupational health,the growth of coal export,the development process and effective mechanism of coal science and technology innovation were analyzed in Australia.Through the analysis of research findings,coal played an important role in Australia's primary energy consumption and production,coal was an important fuel for power generation,Australia had favorable conditions for the development of hard coal resources,Queensland remained the No.1 state of coal production,coal mining was mainly open pit mining,the safety and production conditions in coal mines have been fundamentally improved,but the number death tolls of fatalities in underground mines was nearly twice as high as in open-pit mines,in terms of coal export,the steam coal exports grew faster than coking coal exports,but Australia was the world's largest coking coal exporter,and in the second decade of the 21st century,Australian coal technology had begun to explore the application of digital technology.
