页岩气开采的环境问题及建议

Environmental Problems and Suggestions for Shale Gas Mining

页岩气是一种以吸附或游离状态赋存于泥页岩及其夹层中的非常规天然气,其主要成分为甲烷,它可作为清洁、高效的能源以及化工原料。我国页岩气的采集量达2.6×1013立方米,目前页岩气的开采正处于蓬勃发展期。美国是页岩气开采利用最成功的国家,页岩气不仅给美国带来了一场新的能源革命,而且还衍生出了许多环境问题。我国的页岩气开发起步晚,仍处于探索阶段,而伴随页岩气在中国的持续发展,所出现的环境问题一定要引起重视。本文介绍了页岩气开发可能造成的环境影响,以及对页岩气的开发提出相关的建议。

Shale gas is an unconventional natural gas that exists in the shale and its interlayers in adsorption or dissociation state. Its main component is methane which can be used as clean and efficient energy and chemical raw material. China＇s shale gas collection amounted to 2.6 × 1013 cubic meters; the current exploitation of shale gas is in a period of vigorous development. The United States is the most successful exploitation and utilization of shale gas, shale gas not only brought a new energy revolution to the United States, but also derived a lot of environmental problems. China＇s shale gas development is still in the exploratory stage, accompanied by shale gas in China＇s sustainable development, the emergence of environmental problems must be taken seriously. The paper describes the possible environmental impacts of shale gas development and makes recommendations on shale gas development.
