On May 7, China ’s total coal consumption control plan and policy research project (referred to as the coal control research project) released a new report in Beijing: "The 13th Five-Year Plan of China ’s Coal Industry Coal Control Mid-term Assessment" written by the Coal Industry Planning and Design Institute And later prospects. "

The report conference focused on the development status and prospects of modern coal chemical industry and coal industry since the 13th Five-Year Plan.

Experts from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, China Coal Industry Association, and Shenhua Science and Technology Research Institute commented on this.

The report summarizes the remarkable results achieved in the first half of the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" for the supply-side structural reform of the coal industry from the "three to one, one to one subsidy" aspect.

In terms of capacity reduction, the coal industry withdrew a total of 810 million tons of production capacity between 2016 and 2018, completing the phased targets of the "13th Five-Year Plan" ahead of schedule. In terms of destocking, national coal enterprise inventories fell from a high level of 12.7 million tons in July 2016 to 58 million tons in June 2018. In terms of cost reduction, the coal mining and washing industry's main cost of 100 yuan in 2017 was about 72.28 yuan, a decrease of 12.07 yuan from 2015.

The report also analyzes the development situation of the coal industry during the “13th Five-Year Plan” period. It is expected that by 2020, China ’s coal industry will have a total production capacity of 4.5-4.7 billion tons, a production of about 3.7 billion tons, a capacity utilization rate of more than 75%, and the problem of excess capacity Relief, the industry's production concentration has increased significantly.

By 2020, the number of coal mines in the country may be reduced by about 5,000, and the proportion of large-scale coal mine production will rise to 82%. Based on the statistics of production and construction coal mines announced by the Energy Bureau, the report predicts that the coal industry will still have 180 million tons of capacity reduction capacity from 2019 to 2020.

Regarding the recovery of the coal industry in 2017 and 2018, the Natural Resources Protection Association (NRDC) *** consultant pointed out that the industry recovery has masked many challenges and problems currently faced by the coal industry. Coal control and the decline in coal consumption are long-term trends, and the supply-side structural reforms in the coal industry are still on the way.
