我国北方资源枯竭报告：哪个省是最惨的？

Group 1 - The article discusses the plight of resource-depleted cities in Northern China, focusing on 21 cities in North China and Northwest China, highlighting their struggles and survival strategies [3][4] - Among these cities, 16 are coal-depleted, 3 are non-ferrous metal-depleted, and 2 are oil-depleted, with coal being the predominant resource [4][10] - The coal resources in North and Northwest China are significantly more abundant compared to Northeast China, which only accounts for less than 2% of the national coal resources [6][10] Group 2 - The article categorizes the coal-depleted cities into two coal belts, one along the Yellow River and another in the Huanghuaihai region, with varying coal quality, reserves, and extraction difficulties [11][13] - The cities of Shizuishan and Wuhai, known as the "twin coal cities," have faced severe ecological degradation due to over-extraction, with Shizuishan producing over 500 million tons of raw coal since 1956 [16][17] - Wuhai, in contrast, has a more optimistic outlook, with significant coal reserves and plans to become the global leader in BDO production, leveraging its coal resources for chemical production [21][22] Group 3 - Shanxi Province, rich in coal, faces a paradox of wealth and resource curse, with coal accounting for a significant portion of its economy, leading to a dependency that hampers diversification [24][27] - The province's GDP growth surged by 28% in 2021 due to soaring coal prices, but a subsequent decline in coal prices resulted in a negative growth of 2.14% in 2024 [28][30] - The article emphasizes the urgent need for Shanxi to transition away from coal dependency, as its coal reserves are projected to be depleted in approximately 35 years [30][32] Group 4 - The article contrasts the fortunes of coal cities with oil cities, noting that cities like Puyang have successfully adapted by processing imported oil, while others like Yumen have faced severe decline and near abandonment [46][50] - Puyang has leveraged its chemical industry to sustain its economy despite declining local oil production, while Yumen, once a thriving oil hub, has seen its population and economic activity dwindle significantly [48][56] - The stark differences in outcomes for resource-depleted cities highlight the importance of diversification and adaptation strategies in the face of resource exhaustion [61][62]
