Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is of great practical significance to study the comprehensive evaluation and utilization of coal measure mineral resources. With the continuous growth of the global energy demand and an increase in the tension between resources and the environment, as an important source of traditional energy supplies, the efficient and sustainable development and utilization of coal has become crucial. The various metals and minerals associated with coal measures, such as coalbed methane, may have significant economic value and environmental benefits. Through a comprehensive and systematic assessment of the types, reserves, quality and environmental impact of these resources, resource development strategies can be formulated scientifically, resource allocation can be optimized, and the efficiency of resource utilization can be enhanced. At the same time, in-depth research and the promotion of advanced comprehensive utilization technology can not only enhance the added value of coal resources and reduce environmental pollution, but also promote the transformation and upgrade of related industries and facilitate the sustainable development of regional economy. Therefore, the comprehensive evaluation and utilization of coal mineral resources is crucial in achieving the goals of energy security, environmental protection and economic development.
