Coal industry adheres to the 'three directions' and changes its development mode

At present, China's coal industry is facing a critical stage of transformation and upgrading, so it is imperative to build an upgraded version of the coal industry. And building an upgraded version of the coal industry is facing both opportunities and challenges. At present, coal enterprises should base themselves on their own reality, accelerate the adjustment of industrial structure, change the way of development, build a new system of industrial development, and create an upgraded version of the coal industry with their own characteristics. To build an upgraded version of the coal industry, we must face the "14th Five-Year Plan". We must adhere to the "three directions" of systematic high-yield, green development and clean and efficient utilization of the whole industry chain, laying a solid foundation for the transformation and upgrading of the coal industry.

Systematic high productivity is the resource base to build the upgraded version of coal. Coal is a typical resource industry. Improving the intensive and centralized degree is the core of the "strong body" of resource-based enterprises. For a long time, China's coal industry is mainly a small coal mine production structure, showing small, scattered, chaotic development trend, small production scale, low technology content, low degree of intensification. In the 1980s and 1990s, the number of coal mines in China reached more than 80,000 at most, and the output of small coal mines under 300,000 tons accounted for 70% of the total output. The output of large and medium-sized coal mines has increased from less than 30% to more than 65%. With the continuous improvement of mechanization, informationization, automation and intellectualization of coal industry in China, building large bases, fostering large groups, speeding up the adjustment of coal structure, and building safe and efficient large coal mines have become the key direction of coal industry development. During the 12th Five-Year Plan period, China made great efforts to promote the construction of 14 large-scale coal bases, merged and reorganized into 10 billion tons and 10 50 million tons of super-large coal enterprises, and the coal output of large-scale coal bases accounted for more than 60% of the country's total. Entering the 13th Five-Year Plan, the coal industry will deepen the structural reform of the supply side. In 2018, the annual output of coal mines with an annual output of less than 300,000 tons was reduced to less than 220 million tons, and the productivity utilization rate increased to 70.6%. By the end of 2018, the number of coal mines in China has been reduced to about 5,800, and the average production capacity has increased to about 920,000 tons per year. The total output of raw coal of the top 10 coal enterprises is 1.87 billion tons, accounting for 50.82% of the country, which is 1.034 percentage points higher than the previous year. There are 7 coal enterprises with 100 million tons and 17 enterprises with 50 million tons or more. Moreover, raw coal production continues to concentrate in the dominant areas and enterprises, and industrial concentration continues to improve. According to statistics, the output of raw coal in Inner Mongolia, Shanxi and Shaanxi accounts for 69.6% of the country's total. The average output of raw coal producers per household is 1.367 million tons. The industrial concentration has reached a record high, and the coal production capacity structure has been further optimized.

On April 30, the State Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the State Energy Administration jointly issued the Notice on Eliminating Excess Capacity in Key Areas in 2019, proposing that we should consolidate the achievements of coal de-productivity, move to a new stage of structural de-productivity and systematic high-productivity in an all-round way, and further improve the resettlement of workers and staff. The quality of assets and liabilities disposal has made substantial progress in accelerating enterprise reform and restructuring, industrial restructuring, layout optimization, transformation and upgrading. Green development is the only way to build an upgraded version of the coal industry.

Green development is an economic growth and social development mode aiming at safety, efficiency, harmony and sustainability, highlighting the concept and connotation of green, which has become an important measure to promote economic restructuring in the world. Coal is not only a resource-based industry, but also a high-risk industry to fight against natural disasters. The green development of coal industry should run through the whole industry chain of exploration, development and utilization. In the final analysis, it is necessary to build a "green mine" in coal industry. Green mine construction refers to the whole process of mineral resources development. It is necessary not only to strictly implement scientific and orderly mining, but also to control the disturbance of mining area and surrounding environment in an acceptable range.

First of all, we should do a good job in the green survey of the coal industry. Green prospecting is the development trend of coal geological prospecting. It refers to reducing the disturbance and influence to the ecological environment to the greatest extent, minimizing the environmental impact in the whole process of geological prospecting and achieving the expected geology at the least cost, while comprehensively considering the ecological environment, the cost of prospecting and the intensity of prospecting labor in the prospecting area. Information and achievements, to achieve a win-win situation of prospecting and environmental protection. With the rapid development and application of modern information technology, such as cloud platform, big data, Internet of things and mobile interconnection, the traditional coal geological survey will certainly develop in the direction of greening, precision and intelligence. Followed by doing a good job of green mining in coal industry. Coal industry should develop green mining, build green mines, and take the green road of coordinated development of coal resources and ecological environment. Green coal mining adheres to the principle of "low mining, high utilization and low emission", promotes intelligent coal mining, establishes a scientific management system, and strives to realize that coal mining activities do not destroy the ecological environment or minimize negative impacts. Green mining requires a strategic framework of green planning, green technology, green production, green policy, green action and green management, a scientific mining mode, efficient utilization of resources, standardization of enterprise management, environmental protection of production process, ecological mining environment, and harmonious mining order to achieve economic development. Economic, social and ecological benefits are unified and sustainable development. From the technical point of view, with the progress of science and technology, the technology of "coal-water" dual resources coordinated mining, coal and gas co-mining, coal and Subsidence Reduction under "three" mining, filling mining, coal roadway support and partial gangue underground treatment technology and coal underground gasification technology have matured.
