Inner Mongolia to curb coal production below 1 billion tonnes by 2015
According to the country’s National Development and Reform Commission, Inner Mongolia, China's top coal producer will be straining to curb production of the fuel to below 1 billion tonnes by the end of 2015.
The NDRC said that by the end of 2013, all coal mines with annual production capacity of less than 1.2 million tonnes are projected to be washed out. Moreover, the number of coal mining enterprises will be reduced to in the range of 80 to 100, forming 1-2 mining giants with annual production capacity of above 1,00 million tonnes.
There would be 5-6 coal miners capable of generating at least 50 million tonnes of coal annually and another 15 and 16 companies producing 10 million tonnes annually.
During the 11th Five year Plan period, Inner Mongolia has made brilliant achievements in coal industry restructuring with the number of total coal mines cut to 551 from 1378. Raw coal production increased dramatically to 787 million tonnes from 260 million tonnes in 2005. In 2011, Inner Mongolia produced 979 million tonnes of raw coal up 25.1% from a year earlier.
