Fossil-Fuel Resources Utilization in China
中国能源资源消费及其经济性分析

This paper make an analysis of energy mineral resources use in China. Based on the structure and economic feasibility of energy consumption, the various utilization patterns and means of energy mineral resources were researched and contrasted quantitatively according to the practical data of technology, economy and environment. The main issues discussed are the following: 1) fuel substitute (e.g. natural gas and ethanol gasoline are as automobile fuels); 2) primary energy mineral resources (e.g. fuels in the forms of coal, oil and natural gas);3) secondary energy (e.g. direct liquefaction of coal, electricity generated from fuels of coal and natural gas);4) deep processing technology of energy mineral resources (e.g. natural gas chemical industry and hydrogen production from natural gas);5) environmental influence comparison (e.g. discharge capacity of coal and oil and natural gas as fuels and generated electricity). Hereinbefore, the economic effectiveness, environmental benefit and some problems of energy mineral resources of coal and oil and natural gas and substituted as fuels were analyzed and evaluated preliminarily. Finally, some polices and advices on rational use of energy mineral resources in China are put forward, including the adjustment of strategy on consumption structure and substitution of energy mineral resources, the technology innovation of deep processing of oil and natural gas, improvement of productivity ratio of energy mineral resources.
