Main producing area: Inner Mongolia in 2019, Shanxi in 2020
In 2019, 523 coal mines in Inner Mongolia produced more than 1 billion tons of raw coal. According to the Inner Mongolia Coal Mine Safety Supervision Bureau, in recent years, Inner Mongolia has taken many measures to improve the level of coal mine safety production. In 2019, Inner Mongolia's raw coal production exceeded 1 billion tons, and the death rate of 1 million tons dropped to 0.009, creating the best level in the history of coal mine safety production since data records. Inner Mongolia is a coal producing area, with 523 coal mines and an approved production capacity of 1.28 billion tons. In recent years, Inner Mongolia coal mine safety supervision departments at all levels work together to promote the level of coal mine safety production. In 2019, the death rate of one million tons of coal mines in Inner Mongolia dropped to 0.009, making "two first breakthroughs", that is, the number of accidents and deaths of coal mines in the whole region fell to a single digit for the first time; the death rate of one million tons of coal mines in the whole region reached a "three zero" level for the first time.
In recent years, Inner Mongolia has accelerated the standardization of coal mine safety quality and the construction of mechanization, automation and informatization. In 2019, Inner Mongolia guided the large-scale open-pit coal mines in the whole region to test 5g technology first; promoted the production of five intelligent unmanned mining working faces in Jinggong coal mine; 9 rockburst mines were equipped with advanced online stress monitoring, microseismic monitoring or geoacoustic monitoring systems. These measures enhance the ability of coal mine to resist risks and accidents, and enhance the ability of intrinsic safety. At the same time, the improvement of supervision mechanism effectively improves the level of coal mine safety production. At present, the coal mine safety supervision and supervision departments at all levels in Inner Mongolia have established and implemented the "Two Musts" linkage working mechanism, that is, in case of major violations or production safety accidents in coal mines, they must communicate with each other, study together, and implement according to their respective responsibilities; in case of major actions, the supervision and supervision departments must work out plans and carry out jointly. In 2019, the supervision and regulation departments at all levels in Inner Mongolia carried out more than 120 joint actions, and built a solid defense line for safe production. In addition, for the coal mines with serious illegal acts or production safety accidents, Inner Mongolia reverse check enterprises and management personnel are responsible, and enterprises are required to extend accountability.
In 2019, Inner Mongolia held 391 coal mine safety management personnel accountable and fined 5.36 million yuan, interviewed 16 enterprises and 47 management personnel, and instructed the enterprises to deal with Party and government discipline, dismiss and adjust 87 positions of relevant responsible persons, further compacted the responsibility chain of coal mine enterprise safety production, and effectively implemented the main responsibility of safety production. In 2020, Shanxi plans to eliminate the coal excess capacity of more than 15 million tons. The recent energy work conference of Shanxi Province revealed that this year, it will further promote the reform of coal development and utilization mode. Wang Qirui, director of Shanxi Provincial Energy Bureau, said at the meeting that last year, Shanxi coal industry "reduced, optimized and green" was further promoted, with the proportion of advanced production capacity greatly increased, reaching 68%; the pilot of green mining was orderly promoted, and the effect of coal mine gas extraction and utilization was constantly improved; the coal economy of the whole province was running steadily, the industrial structure was continuously optimized, and the quality of the supply system was further improved. 2020 is the key year to carry out the comprehensive pilot of energy revolution and build a national energy revolution pacesetter. Shanxi should guide the energy transformation with green development, and make continuous efforts in the safe and green development, clean and efficient utilization of coal. In 2020, Shanxi plans to eliminate the excess capacity of more than 15 million tons, accelerate and guide the withdrawal of coal mines with an annual output of less than 600000 tons, and maintain the output of raw coal at 1 billion tons.
Last year, 10 pilot coal mines for green mining were identified and 8 coal mines were determined to carry out underground gangue intelligent separation. On the basis of introducing the incremental replacement method for filling mining capacity, 10 pilot coal mines for green mining will be evaluated this year, and 8 coal mines for underground gangue intelligent separation will be constructed, so as to realize "no (less) humanization and loss reduction" in coal mining. The number of coal washing and preparation enterprises (plants) in normal production and operation in the province is controlled at about 1200, the annual washing capacity is controlled at about 1.8 billion tons, and the washing rate of raw coal in the province is over 80%. The meeting put forward that this year, we will solve problems in key areas such as electric power system reform and coal-bed methane management system reform, focus on increasing the proportion of electric coal in coal consumption, improve the scale development level of coal-bed methane industry, issue supporting policies for gas utilization, and ensure that the gas utilization rate of coal mines is steadily improved.
