Coal is the major energy source attributing to>75% electrical power; >60% civic commercial energy source;>70% chemical material;
Last decades see production tripled to 3.5 billion ton in 2011.

Gassy mine distribution in ChinaOver 50% underground coal mines in China are gassy
*Methane drainage in state owned large minesTill end 2008coal bed methane drainage reach 26.1 billion m3,methane hazards have been steadily drop down as drainage increased. Safety measure #2:Methane Drainage & UtilizationDrainageNo of CH4 drain mines
Industrial GBit internet as communication back bone; 35KV power distribution station monitoring Work face automation; Central water pump automation system Conveyor belt automation Haulage automation Coal washery automation Industrial video monitoring system Large screen control room.Safety measure #3: Comprehensive automation
* Machine cutting height > 5m; top coal caving > 15 m; Conveyor belt 3000 ton/hr; Annual production > 12 million ton in one mine;
Automation dramatically reduced fatality rate
*Methane drainage automation systemMonitor and control of methane flow rate, temperature, concentration, pressure.
*On-line ventilation monitor & controlOnline monitoring of ventilation air flow, efficiency, temperature and equipment condition.
Remote control of water pump
Coal mine hoisting system and production output monitor
Coal washery automation system
*Safety measure 4: Information technology for hazard monitor and controlMethane, CO, ventilation, temperature monitor and hazard control system is required by law for every coal mine;Industrial video monitor at key points.
Industrial video monitor system
Coal mine safety trend
*Vision for future mining Green miningTraditional mining caused surface subsidenceGreen mining: subsidence minimization and transformation
*Vision for future mining - Intrinsic safety technologiesFiber optic methane sensor: does not need electricity safer than electrical deviceFiber optic micro-seismic sensor forroof fall, coal & rock burst early detection
Vision for future mining - Intelligent mine with 3D-GIS and virtual reality display
Consistent improvement of coal mine worker safety in the last decade in China has demonstrated the positive impact of deploying automation and information technologies;Future mines will become intrinsically safe, intelligently managed and less damage to the landscape;European and international safety expertise and technologies have been actively contributed to enable the changes in China;Future focus will be on workers health and the environment.Summary
