内蒙古开放团组会议：内蒙古能源发展面向“未来”

Core Viewpoint - Inner Mongolia is confident in its economic development, particularly in the energy sector, emphasizing the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy and the growth of high-value industries such as biomanufacturing and computing power [1]. Group 1: Energy Sector - Inner Mongolia is a major coal-producing region, with a projected coal output of nearly 1.3 billion tons by 2025, maintaining its position as a top supplier in China [1]. - The region has provided 350 million tons of coal to 29 provinces during the 14th Five-Year Plan, ranking first in the country for coal supply [1]. - The development of renewable energy is significant, with Inner Mongolia's installed capacity for new energy exceeding fossil energy, reaching over 170 million kilowatts [3]. Group 2: Mineral Resources - Inner Mongolia holds over 83% of China's rare earth reserves, with low extraction costs due to the presence of rare earths as by-products of iron ore mining [2]. - The region's thorium resources are sufficient to support national usage for 20,000 years, marking a potential for future nuclear energy development [2]. Group 3: Computing Power Industry - Inner Mongolia is a key hub in China's "East Data West Computing" project, with its data centers benefiting from abundant and low-cost electricity, particularly from renewable sources [4]. - The green electricity ratio in Inner Mongolia's data centers exceeds 82%, and the region has the highest green computing power index in the country [4]. - The transition from coal and electricity sales to computing power sales represents a significant opportunity for economic growth in Inner Mongolia [4].
