中國(guó)石化新聞網(wǎng)訊據(jù)能源世界網(wǎng)12月12日新德里報(bào)道,美國(guó)能源信息署(EIA)在周三的一份報(bào)告中表示,由于煤炭行業(yè)面臨天然氣和可再生資源在發(fā)電方面的激烈競(jìng)爭(zhēng),過(guò)去十年來(lái),美國(guó)煤炭開(kāi)采業(yè)的產(chǎn)量下降了約37%。
EIA稱,這也導(dǎo)致煤炭開(kāi)采業(yè)的就業(yè)人數(shù)下降了42%。
美國(guó)煤礦工人的就業(yè)人數(shù)從2011年的92,000名高位下降到2018年的54,000名,其中阿巴拉契亞地區(qū)的下降幅度最大。
EIA表示,2018年679座煤礦的煤炭產(chǎn)量從2008年1458座煤礦的12億噸降至7.56億噸,阿巴拉契亞地區(qū)的產(chǎn)量幾乎減半。

US coal output sees 37% fall over last decade
US coal mining output has declined by about 37 per cent over the past decade, as the sector faced stiff competition from natural gas and renewable sources for power generation, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) said in a report on Wednesday.
This has also resulted in a 42 per cent drop in employment in the coal mining sector, the EIA said.
"U.S. coal mining employment fell from a high of 92,000 employees in 2011 to 54,000 employees in 2018, with the most dramatic decrease in the Appalachian region."
Coal production fell to 756 million tons from 679 mines in 2018 from 1.2 billion tons from 1,458 mines in 2008, with production in the Appalachian region nearly halving, the EIA said.
