China Coal Mining Energy Consumption Dataset

China's coal mining industry boasts a long history, with most mines entering mid to late stages of development. Consequently, many coal resource-dependent cities are facing gradual resource depletion, leading to a proliferation of internal issues and pronounced conflicts across various dimensions. Annually, significant wastage of energy resources occurs due to coal mining in these cities. Understanding the spatial distribution of energy consumption from coal mining is crucial for advancing energy system transformation and planning future coal mining strategies. This study employs web scraping techniques to gather coal production data from coal resource cities across China. Using a top-down approach, the comprehensive energy consumption based on coal production was estimated, and consequently, the energy consumption per unit of coal production for each province was calculated. The results indicate that cities with energy consumption from coal mining exceeding 5 million tonnes of standard coal are primarily concentrated in the eastern regions and the Jin-Shan-Mongolia-Ningxia-Gansu area.

中国煤炭开采行业历史悠久，当前多数矿井已进入开发中后期阶段。由此，众多煤炭资源依赖型城市正面临资源逐步枯竭的困境，进而引发各类内部问题频发、多维度矛盾凸显。此类城市每年均因煤炭开采造成大量能源资源浪费。明晰煤炭开采能源消费的空间分布，对于推进能源系统转型、谋划煤炭开采未来战略均具有重要意义。本研究采用网络爬虫（Web Scraping）技术，收集全国各煤炭资源型城市的煤炭产量数据。研究采用自上而下法，基于煤炭产量估算综合能源消费量，并据此测算各省的单位煤炭产量能耗。研究结果显示，煤炭开采能源消费超过500万吨标准煤的城市，主要集中于东部地区以及晋陕蒙甘宁地区。
