Basic requirements for coal and energy balance will be issued by coal chemical industry access threshold

According to the Voice of Economy report, the National Coal Working Conference was held yesterday in Beijing (24th). Liu Tienan, Director of the National Energy Administration pointed out that in 2011, the national coal supply and demand were basically balanced, but resource support was unsustainable, overall productivity was low, and production safety was low. Difficulties still exist, and the environmental impact of coal development still exists. How will the National Energy Administration improve in 2012?

In 2011, China's coal industry continued to maintain a good momentum of growth, and the level of industrial intensification increased. There were 7 million tons of coal enterprises. In 2011, more than 400 backward coal mines were shut down. Coal safety awareness was strengthened, and large-scale coal base construction achieved remarkable results. In addition, Chinese coal companies actively participate in the development of overseas resources, accelerating energy conservation and emission reduction.

Wu Hao, deputy director of the National Energy Administration, said that although the contradiction between supply and demand was prominent for some periods and regions, overall, the supply and demand of coal in 2011 were basically balanced by strengthening market monitoring, increasing supply, and coordinating production and transportation.

Wu Hao: In 2011, the country's raw coal output was 3.52 billion tons, an increase of 280 million tons year-on-year, which was the highest level in history. The proportion of coal in the primary energy production structure is close to 80%, and the theme energy role continues to be used.

It is worth noting that in 2011, China’s coal net import was 168 million tons, an increase of 15% year-on-year. Liu Tienan, director of the National Energy Administration, pointed out that the increase in coal imports and the excessively rapid increase in energy demand are one of the problems that have been caused by the low utilization of coal and other energy resources in China.

Liu Tienan: Our dependence on foreign resources ranges from 7% at the beginning of this century to 14% in 2011. We now use 100 tons of energy, of which 14 tons come from abroad. Everyone said that the United States has 3.1 billion tons of standard coal, 300 million people and 10 tons of one person. We are 2.6 tons per capita, but their GDP is 16 trillion, and our GDP is only a few. Whether it is industrialization process or performance, we are all very low.

In addition, the extensive development model also leads to an excessive increase in energy demand in China. By 2015, the country’s annual coal demand will reach 3.9 billion tons. The tasks of ensuring coal supply and adjusting the industrial development structure are very arduous. However, problems such as low resource recovery rate in the coal industry, difficulty in stable supply during the peak period of coal use, and large impact on the ecological environment are also common.

To this end, the National Energy Board proposed that in 2012 continue to increase the effective supply capacity of coal, deepen the coal mining companies mergers and reorganization, continue to eliminate backward production capacity of coal, strengthen safety management, and vigorously promote the comprehensive utilization of coal resources. Liu Tie-nan stressed that despite the need to speed up the development of the coal recycling economy, due to the high input, high emissions, and high consumption of coal chemical industry, the National Energy Administration will soon issue relevant plans to prevent coal chemical industry from blooming and excess capacity.

Liu Tienan: After the plan came out, the basic idea was to make the lack of water and the lack of coal the local principle of coal chemical, because the coal needs to be transferred to the net, but also to engage in coal chemical industry? For the testing of coal mining sites, there are strict industrial technology standards and a threshold for entry. Protect valuable resources and use them well.
