FULLY UTILIZING THE NEW EURASIA CONTINENTAL BRIDGE TO OPTIMIZE ENERGY SUPPLY OF COASTAL AREAS
充分利用大陆桥优化沿海能源供应

Areas along the New Eurasia Continental Bridge(NEAC B) are rich in energy resources which serve not only as the main base for China' s energy production but also a belt for trial production of the country's clean energy.In addition,the belt will be functioned as a transportation corridor for energy exploited abroad.As coastland consumes much energy,contradictions between economic development and energy supply becomes more and more serious.On account of these facts,some suggestions on utilizing the NEACB to optimize energy consu mption sturcture of the coastal areas are raised:Areas along the NEACB and coast land make good use of their own advantages while supporting each other with thei r respective strong points;the central government initiates studies on exploitat ion and utilization of oil and gas resources in Central Asia and eastward transp ortation of oil and gas from the west as soon as possible;studies on underground piping network construction in areas south of the Yangtze,especially in coastal areas should be carried out as soon as possible;and consideration should be giv en to both offshore and land energy as well as other types of energy exploitatio n and development in coastal areas so as to optimize structure of energy consump tion.
