Abstract

With rich coal resources accounting for 40 % of the total predicted resources in China, Xinjiang has become China’s important strategic energy deposit area and onshore energy thoroughfare. Under the guidance of the western development policy, the coal production capacity in Xinjiang gradually increased. The contradiction between the heavy coal outward transportation demand and the insufficiency of coal transportation capacity has become a prominent problem. This article, based on the analysis and calculation of the capacity of the Xinjiang railway coal transportation channel capacity, put forward a series of development countermeasures which include speeding up the construction of transportation channel, constructing coal chemical industry base and large coal industrial base, and accelerating the construction of high-voltage direct current transmission project.
