The number of coal mines in China will be controlled at around 4, by the end of the 14th Five-Year Plan.

On March 3rd, China Coal Industry Association released the Annual Report on the Development of Coal Industry in 22.

The Report puts forward the development goal of the coal industry in the 14th Five-Year Plan:

By the end of the 14th Five-Year Plan, the domestic coal production will be controlled at about 4.1 billion tons, and the national coal consumption will be controlled at about 4.2 billion tons. The number of coal mines in China is controlled at around 4,. More than 1 intelligent coal mines have been built; There are 65 1-million-ton mines (open pits) built, with a production capacity of nearly 1 billion tons/year. Cultivate 3 to 5 world-class coal enterprises with global competitiveness. Promote the merger and reorganization of enterprises and set up 1 billion tons of coal enterprises. The mechanization degree of coal mining in coal mines has reached more than 9%, and the mechanization degree of tunneling has reached more than 75%; Raw coal selection (washing) rate reached more than 85%; The utilization of coal gangue and mine water and the standard discharge rate will be 1%.

The Report pointed out that during the 13th Five-Year Plan period, the coal industry achieved remarkable results in terms of resource development and layout, quality of supply system, industry concentration, scientific and technological innovation capability, and cleaner production.

during the 13th Five-Year Plan period, about 5,5 coal mines were withdrawn, and the backward coal production capacity was more than 1 billion tons/year, and about 1 million employees were resettled. By the end of 22, the number of coal mines in China will be reduced to less than 4,7, and the average annual production capacity of single well (mine) will be increased to more than 1.1 million tons; More than 1,2 large modern coal mines with an annual output of more than 1.2 million tons have been built nationwide, accounting for about 8% of the country's output; The mechanization of coal mining in large coal enterprises has increased to 98.86%, and more than 4 intelligent mining faces have been built nationwide.

in 22, the washing rate of raw coal in China will reach 74.1%, 8.2 percentage points higher than that in 215; The comprehensive utilization rates of mine water, coal gangue and underground gas drainage reached 78.7%, 72.2% and 44.8%, up by 11.2%, 8% and 9.5% respectively compared with 215.

the strategic restructuring of coal enterprises has been accelerated. The annual coal production of four enterprises, namely National Energy Group, Jinneng Holding Group, Shandong Energy Group and China Coal Energy Group, all exceeded 2 million tons, and the annual coal production of Shaanxi Coal Group and Shanxi Coking Coal Group both exceeded 1 million tons.

The Report emphasizes that during the Tenth Five-Year Plan period, it is necessary to deepen the structural reform on the supply side as the main line, promote the clean and efficient utilization of coal, and promote the transformation of the coal industry from production to production service, and from traditional energy to clean energy strategy. The coal industry needs to make efforts on ten key tasks.

first, improve the degree of geological security in mining areas.

the second is to optimize the layout of coal resources development.

the third is to promote the transformation and upgrading of the coal industry.

the fourth is to promote the innovation and development of coal science and technology.

the fifth is to promote the construction of ecological civilization in mining areas.

the sixth is to promote clean and efficient utilization of coal.

the seventh is to promote the construction of coal intelligent logistics system.

eight is to promote the transformation and development of old mining areas.

nine is to deepen international exchanges and cooperation.

ten is to strengthen coal mine safety and occupational health.

the report points out that in 22, the relationship between coal supply and demand will be tight or loose in stages, and the spot price of the market will fluctuate greatly, but the medium and long-term contract price of coal will always be stable in a reasonable range. In 221, the quality of the national coal supply system will be steadily improved, the medium and long-term contract price of coal will be stabilized in a reasonable range, and the coal market will maintain a basic balance. Due to the constraints of resources and environment and the influence of extreme weather uncertainty, it is not excluded that the supply is tight in some areas, individual time periods and some coal types.
