The structural shortage of coal will become more and more prominent

Wang Xianzheng, president of China Association of Coal Industry, said on the 21st that at present, the excess coal in China is still the main contradiction. However, as the capacity-building work progresses, the problems of structural shortage and regional and time-limited supply will become more and more prominent .
Wang Xianzheng made the above statement at the "2018 National Coal Trade Fair" opening on the same day.
"The distribution of coal resources is increasingly concentrated in a few areas such as Shanxi, Shannxi and Ningxia, and the problem of overcapacity of coal in China and insufficient supply of coal in some regions is becoming more obvious." Wang Xianzheng said that in line with the changes in the layout of coal resources development and in-depth study of coal Railway transport corridors, UHV transmission and the reasonable radius of coal sales.
According to reports, the first half of this year, mainly to large-scale modern coal mines in Shanxi, Shaanxi and Ningxia accounted for more than 70% of the country's total output. The concentration of the entire industry is getting higher and higher, with the output of 14 large-scale coal enterprises nationwide accounting for about 94% of the national total.
Wang Xianzheng pointed out that the next step should be in-depth study of varieties of coal resources, market structure and regional supply security issues; while improving the allocation of coal resources market economy, reliability and emergency support capabilities.
"The coal industry has already completed nearly 50% of its total capacity-to-completion, but it is more and more difficult for workers to relocate. There is not enough supporting funds and there are few public welfare places provided by local governments. The policies on disposal of assets and debts to productive coal mines are still unclear. Clearly, most corporate loans are repayable by corporate loans, corporate debt is more and more heavy, business risk increases. "Wang Xianzheng said.
He emphasized that it is necessary to study in depth the issues of resettlement methods, methods and employment channels for workers in de-capacity coal mines, and in particular, attach great importance to the protection of subsistence for groups with special difficulties and maintain the stability of the mines. The ideas of corporate assets and debt disposal should also be studied in light of the actual conditions of the enterprises And specific measures to dispose corporate debts in accordance with laws and regulations through various channels.
