The coal market “mining coal to quench thirst” Jining City wins sustainable development

According to the Voice of China News and Newspaper Abstracts at 6:31 pm, Jining City, Shandong Province, took the initiative in industrial transformation during the booming period of the coal industry, bid farewell to the development model of resource-based cities, and won new opportunities for sustainable development.
After discovering a large coal field with a reserve of more than 200 million tons, Zhangzhou City, Shandong Province, digging or not digging, experienced a fierce confrontation and finally chose to temporarily seal the coal field. Tian Zhifeng, the party secretary of Ganzhou City, said that the “fat meat” to the mouth did not want to eat because they saw resources alone for development, and a sword of Damocles hung on their heads at the moment: “For coal, we are in the mood now. It is also joyful and hateful, and it is happy that it can bring about huge financial revenues. What it hates is that it causes a lot of collapse and it brings difficulties to people's production and life!"
The wealth created by coal for Jining once exceeded 80% of the total fiscal revenue. Li Xindou, deputy director of the Jining City Development and Reform Commission, raised coal, frowned at first, and long-term exploitation of coal resources. This made Jining become a “partial student” whose industry structure relied excessively on coal, and the drawbacks of “walking on one leg” became increasingly apparent. “According to the current speed, the annual output is close to one hundred million tons. After 30 years, no coal is available. The original proposal was to dig the coal first and then consider the problem on the ground. Now we propose to come first and then go underground!”
We must get rid of the “coal dependency syndrome” and seek industrial restructuring to win the initiative for sustainable development. Jining gradually adjusted the focus of economic development to industries such as machinery manufacturing, biotechnology, and textiles and garments to create green GDP. In the Jining Hi-tech Development Zone, the newly developed textile technology is not only no longer picky for textile raw materials, but also has improved textile efficiency. Yanzhou Mining Group has also transformed itself from a pure mining industry to a coal chemical and machinery manufacturing industry. Li Weidong, a staff member who has worked in the high-tech zone for more than 10 years, has clearly felt the shift in the focus of urban economic development: “Jining City visited Jining, and Jining City first brought guests to the Hi-tech Zone, demonstrating the development of high-tech zones by leaders at all levels. Emphasis."
Now, the total amount and scale of non-coal industry in Jining City has exceeded the traditional coal-fired power industry, and the proportion of coal driving GDP has also dropped to 38%. Sun Shougang, Secretary of the Jining City Party Committee, said that although they are hungry for the requirements of economic development, the scientific development perspective The coal city must now “look at” coal to quench its thirst: “I look for coal”, and I understand that it is a model that resolutely prevents excessively predatory exploitation, and looks forward to the future development of the coal industry, coal chemical industry, and Jining emerging industries. Vision; "Thirst-thirst quenching" is to get rid of the hunger and thirst for over-reliance on coal resources to achieve a sustainable and long-term development."
