Coal Industry in China
Taiyou Research, Dec 2011, Pages: 200
China is the largest consumer of coal in the world. Approximately 80% of China's coal resources are located in mountainous regions far away from the industrial centers.
China is ranked third in the world in terms of total coal reserves behind the United States and Russia. Most reserves are located in the north and north-west of the country, which poses a large logistical problem for supplying electricity to the more heavily populated coastal areas. China's own demand, together with tight global supplies and long-term projections of correspondingly firm coal prices all bode well for the Chinese coal sector. But if coal's central place in China's future remains a constant, there is less certainty as to the role foreign firms will be able to play.
Coal accounts for about 70% of China's total energy consumption. The development and production of the coal industry provides stability in China's economic growth. China is soon to become the largest consumer of coal derived electricity as well. China's coal mining industry is one of the largest as well as the deadliest in terms of human safety standards as thousands of people lose their lives every year in coal pits itself.
Major players in the industry include China National Coal Group Corporation, Shanxi Coking Co., China Coal Energy Company, amongst others.
One of the major challenges facing China is the transportation of coal from the producing regions, mostly located in the North Western regions, to regions with the highest demand, mostly situated in the coastal regions. Coal is by far the biggest commodity transported within China, accounting for over 40% of all Chinese rail freight, 20% of road freight and nearly 25% of waterborne freight.
Coal burning in China is having a significant impact on the physical environment, as well as the population in China, and the overall world atmosphere. It’s been predicted that by the year 2025, China will emit more carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide, two products from coal burning, than the United States, Japan, and Canada combined. In place of capital investment, foreign companies now are focusing on business opportunities in helping Chinese coal mines improve their efficiency, raise their environmental standards and rectify their safety records.
In this industry scenario, Taiyou Research analyzes the Coal Industry in China.
Divided into four chapters, this report from Taiyou Research is a complete analysis of the Chinese coal industry. Here's looking at what Chapter 1 contains.
- An analysis of the basics of coal including how coal is formed, the various types of coal, the uses of coal as a primary fuel source, and the role of coal in the global energy mix.
- An analysis of the global coal market, including industry definition, industry statistics, market value and volume analysis, coal production and consumptions statistics, industry segmentation, the role of coal in providing energy security for a country, and an industry outlook that is segmented according to countries.
In Chapter 2 of the report Coal Industry in China, we analyze the Chinese Coal Industry. The chapter includes the following:
- A market profile of the coal industry in China, complete with market statistics, coal production and consumption data, coal resources and reserves data, a look at the coal production bases in China, market value and volume, industry segmentation, etc.
- Industry structure, coal supply statistics, and coal import/export statistics are also analyzed in this section, along with an analysis of coal contract and spot prices in China.
- An analysis of the rampant grey market for coal in China is also included in the report.
- Taiyou Research analyze industry reforms in the industry through the development of coal mines in China, reforms in coal prices, the reform of government institutions, and the government's role in the coal industry are discussed.
- Coal demand in the country segregated by industries is included in the report. Industries analyzed include electricity generation, chemicals, construction, metallurgical, and others.
- Transportation of coal in China is analyzed through the various routes, that is, by rail, by sea, and by road.
- The regulatory framework and the impact of the recent Five Year Plans on the Chinese coal industry are analyzed.
- Taiyou Research analyze the Coal Industry in China in a Porter's Five Forces Analysis. In this section, Taiyou Research analyze the strengths of buyers and suppliers, the competitive rivalry present in the industry, and the threat of new entrants in the industry, along with the threat of substitutes, which in the case of coal, is the many options available for renewable energy.
- Coal mine production in China is also analyzed, including the characteristics of Chinese coal mining, market value and volume analysis, industry segmentation, industry competition, and the lack of reforms in the coal mining industry in China.
- Taioyu Research also carry out a comparative analysis of the coal industries in China and India.
In Chapter 3, Taioyu Research analyze the major players in the Chinese coal industry.
Concluding the report is chapter 4, which carries an appendix and a glossary of terms.
This cutting-edge research offering from Taiyou Research is a comprehensive coverage of the Coal Industry in China.
