In recent years, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region has earnestly implemented the new energy security strategy of “Four Revolutions and One Cooperation”, anchored its strategic positioning as an important national energy and strategic resource base, and, with the guidance and assistance of the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration, made every effort to ensure the national coal supply. In 2024, the region’s raw coal production reached 1.297 billion tons, surpassing Shanxi Province and ranking first in the country (1.269 billion tons, a year-on-year decrease of 6.9%), with a year-on-year growth rate of 5.4%, 4.1 percentage points higher than the national growth rate. Among them, the three major coal producing areas of Ordos City, Xilingol League, and Hulunbuir City account for 88.3% of the total coal production in the region and 24.1% of the national coal production.
In the process of developing the coal industry, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region adheres to improving the policy system and steadily promoting the release of advanced coal production capacity. Local regulations such as the “Regulations on Coal Management in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region” and the “Regulations on Promoting the Construction of National Important Energy and Strategic Resource Bases in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region” have been successively introduced, and policies and systems such as the “Opinions on Promoting High quality Development of the Coal Industry” and the three-year action plan, as well as the “Plan for Stable Continuation and Orderly Development of Coal Production Capacity in the Autonomous Region” have been formulated. By accelerating the increase in coal mine production capacity, approving new projects, and constructing ongoing projects, we aim to maintain stable coal production capacity throughout the region. At the same time, the intelligent construction of coal mines in the entire region has caught up and entered the forefront of the country. 205 coal mines in the region have completed intelligent construction, and the production capacity of intelligent coal mines accounts for 88% of the total production capacity. All coal mines with a production capacity of over 10 million tons in the entire region have completed intelligent construction, further improving the production efficiency of coal mines and effectively promoting the high-quality development of the coal industry in the region.
Next, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region will continuously optimize the layout of the coal industry, further release advanced coal production capacity, maintain stable coal production and supply, and fully play the role of coal as a “ballast” and “stabilizer” in energy supply.
