The Coal Sector in China’s Energy System – Developmental Perspectives
Abstract
The article introduces the mechanism of using coal and its role in China’s energy policy. It presents the activities which are significant for the economic and social development. The China’s demand for energy doesn’t have only economic dimension, but also has an impact on the developmental strategy. It influences on China’s aspirations to achieve a stronger position in the global space, as well as its chance to become a responsible world leader in terms of environmental protection.
