Coking industry enters the key period of high quality development

On November 28, the third member (director) meeting of the seventh session of China Coking Industry Association was held in Jingdezhen. The participants believed that the coking industry has entered the key period of high-quality supply, high-quality demand, high-quality configuration, high-quality input-output, high-quality income distribution and high-quality economic cycle. At the meeting, Cui Pijiang, President of China Coking Industry Association, introduced that since this year, the coking industry has been running stably, and the growth of steel demand has driven the growth of coke output. From January to October, the national coke output was 393 million tons, up 5.6% year on year.

But high production does not bring high profits. Since September, the price of domestic coke has dropped 300 CNY/ton month on month, 560 CNY/ton year-on-year. At present, about 60% of coking enterprises are on the edge of loss. For the future development, Cui Pijiang believes that with the accelerated upgrading of coke oven technology and equipment, new breakthroughs in the extension of coking by-product industry chain, and the gradual maturity of several new technologies and processes, the industry transformation and upgrading will usher in opportunities. Liu Bing, deputy chief engineer of MCC coking endurance Engineering Technology Co., Ltd., pointed out that the transformation and upgrading of coking industry and high-quality development direction should be Park oriented, large-scale, green and high-end. He believes that design optimization is the key in the process of industry upgrading.

At the same time, the application of the new generation coking technology and the green and intelligent coking plant that fully meets the requirements of safety, environmental protection and energy saving will change people's traditional cognition of the industry. Meng Qingbo, vice president of Anshan Thermal Energy Research Institute of China Steel Group, said that coking enterprises should select appropriate process technology and build a reasonable industrial chain according to national development strategy, industrial technology progress direction and their own reality. We need to achieve high-efficiency measures such as technological progress, optimization of combination, transformation and upgrading at all nodes of the whole industrial chain, and change from traditional coal coking to providing high-quality carbon sources, low-cost hydrogen sources, various oil sources, carbon based new materials for modern coal chemical industry, so as to realize green development of black coke and low-carbon development of high-carbon resources.

The reporter learned at the meeting that China's coking industry, with a history of more than 100 years, has made remarkable achievements, but some problems still exist, mainly reflected in: low industrial concentration, immature market system; weak sustainable profitability and high debt ratio of most enterprises; weak innovation power and effectiveness of enterprise technology, management and business model; talent The training and construction of the team and the improvement of the comprehensive quality of the whole staff need to be strengthened urgently; the coverage of lean, information and intelligent management mode of the enterprise is far from enough; the task of stable and up to standard of safety and environmental protection is still urgent and arduous. To this end, Cui Pijiang called for the whole industry to strengthen the confidence of high-quality development and promote the industry innovation driven development; adhere to the support of science and technology, management and talents to realize the industry's low-carbon and green development; adhere to the fine management as the breakthrough point and strengthen the management foundation; always adhere to the concept of reform and innovation to promote the sustainable and healthy development of the industry.

The meeting was hosted by China Coking Industry Association and coking chemistry branch of China metal society, organized by Anshan Thermal Energy Research Institute Co., Ltd. of Sinosteel group, CO organized by Jingdezhen coking Energy Co., Ltd. and attended by nearly 300 coking associations, enterprises and third-party service providers from all provinces and cities.
