西部地区是我国绿色煤炭资源的主要分布区域和国家大型煤炭生产基地聚集区，也是我国生态环境脆弱区。在煤炭作为我国主体能源短期内难以改变的情况下，安全绿色开采、清洁高效利用西部煤炭资源已成为保障国家能源安全的重大需求。从煤系矿产资源协同勘查、生态脆弱区采煤保水及生态环境保护、矿井地质灾害精细预测预报、“互联网+煤炭地质”和煤炭清洁利用5方面分析了西部煤炭绿色开发地质保障技术的研究现状，展望了未来西部煤炭绿色开发地质保障技术发展的3大方向：提高绿色煤炭资源的勘查精度、创建采煤保水技术体系，提升煤炭清洁利用地质保障程度。

The western region is the main distribution area of green coal resources in China and the gathering area of large national coal production bases. Also, it is the ecological environment fragile area of our country. In the case that the situation of coal as the main energy in China is difficult to change in the short term, safe and green mining, clean and efficient utilization of coal resources in the west has become a major demand to ensure national energy security. From five aspects as coordinated exploration of mineral resources in coal measures, coal mining with water preserving and ecological environment protection in the ecological fragile areas, fine prediction and forecast of mine geological disaster, “Internet + Coal Geology” and coal clean utilization, the research status of the geological assurance technology for coal green development in the west is analyzed in this paper, and three main future development directions of the geological assurance technology for coal green development in the west are prospected, i.e., to improve the green coal resources exploration precision, to establish the system of coal mining with water preserving and to improve geological assurance of coal clean utilization.
