2024-10-29 China Coal Mining Energy Consumption Dataset doi:10.57760/sciencedb.15634 en China's coal mining industry boasts a long history, with most mines entering mid to late stages of development. Consequently, many coal resource-dependent cities are facing gradual resource depletion, leading to a proliferation of internal issues and pronounced conflicts across various dimensions. Annually, significant wastage of energy resources occurs due to coal mining in these cities. Understanding the spatial distribution of energy consumption from coal mining is crucial for advancing energy system transformation and planning future coal mining strategies. This study employs web scraping techniques to gather coal production data from coal resource cities across China. Using a top-down approach, the comprehensive energy consumption based on coal production was estimated, and consequently, the energy consumption per unit of coal production for each province was calculated. The results indicate that cities with energy consumption from coal mining exceeding 5 million tonnes of standard coal are primarily concentrated in the eastern regions and the Jin-Shan-Mongolia-Ningxia-Gansu area. coal; energy; consumption Gang Lin PUBLIC https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ dataset Science Data Bank
