'Coal' and 'China' to some extent have become synonymous. China is
by far the largest user of coal in the world. In 2016, coal
production in China amounted to 3.21 billion tons, about half of
the total global coal production. Coal consumption accounts for
more than 65% of primary energy consumption in China. The Chinese
coal industry greatly contributes to the economic development in
China, the second largest economy in the world. However,
periodically, ubiquitous images of smog blanketing major Chinese
cities are viewed all over the world. Coal combustion is one of the
important contributors to smog, which is considered to be a major
environmental and human health problem for China and other
countries. News stories also highlight the periodic coal mine
disasters that kill hundreds of Chinese coal miners annually. The
need to address these and other human health, environmental, and
mine safety issues and to maximize resource recovery and use
justifies a vigorous coal research effort. This book brings
together experts on almost every aspect of coal geology, coal
production, composition and use of the coal and its by-products,
and coal's environmental and human health impacts. The chapters in
this book were originally published in a special issue of the
International Geology Review.
