China's modern coal economy system is speeding up its formation

Recently, a number of coal enterprises have published the annual social responsibility report for 2018, which discloses the progress they have made in terms of capacity reduction, green development and industrial diversification.
In 2018, coal enterprises continue to deepen the structural reform of the supply side, the annual output of coal mines under 300,000 tons reduced to 220 million tons/year, the whole industry from total capacity to system to go. Production capacity, structural high-yield.
The State Energy Group has completed 5 coal mines with a total capacity of 3.4 million tons and handed over 6 coal mines with a capacity of 2.4 million tons. In 2018, coal production reached 510 million tons and sales reached 680 million tons, the best level in history.
China Coal Group has completed the task of capacity removal in Yangcun Coal Mine and Yilan Open-pit Mine, withdrew 7.6 million tons of capacity, and reduced the capacity of three mines by 2.7 million tons, totaling 10.3 million tons. Liu Yong, deputy general manager of China Coal Energy Group Co., Ltd., told reporters that the company's commercial coal output was 159.99 million tons, an increase of 3.6% over the same period last year. Jincheng Coal Group completed the closure tasks of Jinsheng Qiling Coal Industry, Taiyuan Coal Gasification Qinghe No. 1 Coal Mine, Jiale Quan Coal Mine and Changgou Coal Mine in advance, and accelerated the landing construction of large modern and efficient mines through capacity replacement. Seventeen mines have reached the high-yield and high-efficiency standard, with advanced production capacity accounting for 60%, which exceeds the overall level of Shanxi Province by nearly 10 percentage points.
With the Coal Mining Group, three mines were closed and withdrawn, with a capacity of 3.11 million tons; three mines were reduced by 5.5 million tons; from 2016 to 2018, a total of 16.6 million tons were withdrawn and reduced, exceeding the 13th Five-Year Plan of 3.81 million tons, and overfulfilling the task of eliminating excess capacity. By increasing production, the total annual output of coal will be 4 million tons. In recent years, coal enterprises have taken the construction of ecologically civilized mines and the realization of green mining and clean utilization of coal as important contents of fulfilling their social responsibilities. The data show that in 2018, the raw coal separation rate reached 71.8%, the comprehensive utilization rate of coal gangue reached 67.3%, the utilization rate of mine water and land reclamation rate reached 72.8% and 49.5%, respectively.
Shendong Coal Group adopted measures of energy saving, coal saving, oil saving and water saving. The comprehensive energy consumption of raw coal production was reduced to 2.52 kg standard coal/ton, which was lower than the national standard requirements. The company has achieved the goal of "no coal in coal mining". All flue gas emissions have reached the standard, and the utilization rate of mine water has reached 83%.
In Xinzhou Kiln Mine of Datong Coal Mine Group, 3.66 million tons of coal gangue have been discharged in the past 30 years. Since 2016, the 100-year-old mine has focused on greening, hardening and beautifying the waste site in different levels.
Shanghai Datun Energy Co., Ltd. has completed two-season compensation for crops in 17 940 mu of coal mining subsidence land and one-time compensation treatment for 380 mu of coal mining subsidence Lake area; completed feasibility demonstration and environmental impact assessment report for reclamation of coal gangue filling subsidence area in Xuzhuang Coal Mine; completed feasibility study on 3663 mu of subsidence land in Yaoqiao, Kongzhuang and Xuzhuang Coal Mines and 1653 Mu subsidence control. Programming.
Huaibei Mining Group vigorously develops circular economy, forming several industrial chains of Linhuan Industrial Park, such as "coal-coke-chemical-electricity", "coal-electricity-building materials", "coal-electricity-calcium carbide-PVC-cement" and Dingyuan Salt Chemical Industrial Park.
Yanzhou Mining Group has further promoted the "Blue Sky Project", formed three sets of treatment schemes for residents'living clean heating, central clean heating in small areas and clean combustion of small and medium-sized industrial boilers, and built two demonstration zones of clean heating in Zoucheng, Shandong Province and Chengde, Hebei Province. Shaanxi Coal Mine Group has steadily strengthened the "three wastes" treatment, continuously promoted the transformation of ultra-low emissions, and achieved phased results in pollution control and emission reduction. In 2018, the Group invested 2.483 billion yuan in environmental protection projects and implemented 359 key environmental protection projects.
Synergy has increased strength. In building a modern coal economic system, while coal enterprises are becoming stronger and bigger and better in their main industries, the comprehensive energy industry system with multi-point industrial support and multi-complementary advantages is becoming more and more perfect, Industrial Synergy is further strengthened, and enterprise management is comprehensively improved in quality and efficiency.
In 2018, the State Energy Group realized a total operating income of 5423 billion yuan and a total profit of 73.5 billion yuan, increasing by 6.2% and 12.7% respectively over the same period of last year. The main production and operation indicators exceeded the annual plan and realized the preservation and appreciation of state-owned assets.
Huaibei Mining Group strives to build an industrial pattern of integrated development of coal and electricity, coal chemical industry and salt chemical industry, finance, modern service and modern logistics. Wang Sanmin, general manager of Yitai Coal Co., Ltd.introduced that Yitai Group continued to take coal chemical industry as the main direction of transformation and upgrading. Coal chemical technology continued to extend downstream industry chain to high-end fine chemicals, realizing the continuous transformation and leap from basic raw materials to clean fuels, to fine chemicals, and finally to functional materials, so as to realize product terminal and high-end.
Coal Chemical Enterprises of China Coal Mine Group deepen fine management to maintain stable production and high yield; Electric Power Enterprises promote energy conservation and consumption reduction, innovation and efficiency improvement; Coal Mine Construction Enterprises strive to undertake high-quality projects and seize high-end market; Coal Machinery Equipment Enterprises strive to improve the efficiency of R&D, manufacturing, marketing and business creation. Bao Zhengming, secretary and chairman of the Party Committee of Shanghai Datun Energy Co., Ltd., said that by 2020, the company's coal production will reach 10.2 million tons, and the layout of coal production base will be initially established westward. At the same time, we will continue to make efforts in the fields of electricity, aluminium processing and integrated services.
