Beginning this year, according to the National Development and Reform Commission notice on the lifting of the temporary price intervention measures of coal for power generation, to lift the temporary price intervention measures on coal, coal by the supply and demand sides of independent pricing negotiations, the implementation of the price of coal merged, the price of coal will be fully market-oriented, end officially declared the last 10 years the price of coal-track system. Coal is the main raw material for nitrogen fertilizer production enterprises, 75% of China's nitrogen fertilizer business is based on coal as raw materials, including urea, 63%, 92% yield ammonium bicarbonate coal as raw material. Nitrogen fertilizer production, the price of coal and electricity costs accounted for 70% and 80% of the cost of production of the nitrogen fertilizer business. Right now, the New Deal has been performed more than two months, what impact does the nitrogen fertilizer business? 

Shanxi Province, the reporter conducted a survey. With the rapid development of new coal chemical industry in China in recent years, many coal companies to accelerate the pace of merger and reorganization of the chemical companies, full access to the coal chemical industry. Shanxi Province, the nitrogen fertilizer business has been formed by large coal enterprises "divvy up" pattern. For the cancellation of the "dual system", these large-scale coal enterprises under the nitrogen fertilizer business is very calm. Nitrogen fertilizer business frankly, the large coal enterprises are almost always nutrient coal, after several years of mergers and reorganization of running, the nitrogen fertilizer business do not have to worry about the coal. Therefore, coal to achieve a fully market-oriented, the pressure is not caused by coal chemical enterprises large coal groups. 

Shanxi Jincheng Anthracite Mining Group, for example, the group relies on anthracite resource advantages, the development of major grain producing areas and local and Huanghuai region, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River region in more than a dozen provinces (municipalities) from the 21 chemical companies and 58 production The plant, with 13.9 million tons / year of total ammonia production capacity the basic fertilizer production capacity of 1550 tons / year, 1.1 million tons / year of fine chemical products and 10 million tons / year coal-to-oil production capacity. 60% to 80% of Shanxi Coal lump coal feedstock supply to their own businesses, on the one hand, the way out of Shanxi Coal Group coal products, but also the raw material security of the downstream coal chemical enterprises with adequate safeguards. 

Shanxi Coal Group the coal chemical Deputy Secretary Li Zhanliang from this reform in the short term impact of the nitrogen fertilizer industry. Coal enterprises to enter the field of chemical industry, coal processing into fertilizer and other coal chemical products, coal products to find a stable market users and sales, can completely control the way out of the coal resources, he said: "It is understood that the 2012 July to August, the coal market demand, sales volume and price drop. Shanxi Coal Group, relying coalification UMPAY, actively Panhuo internal coal market, coal chemical enterprises using internal product, played a synergistic effect. In that period, the company owned Jinfeng Coal Chemical Company Shanxi Coal's coal, 200 tons for urea production and supply of raw coal to safeguard the stable and healthy development of the coal business, and the overall effectiveness of the fertilizer business less susceptible to losses every day. 

The "cancel two-track system is conducive to fair competition in the market will help the enterprises to further the overall cost control, conducive to the national macro-control we will further consider the overall layout." Li Zhanliang said. 

Coal to achieve a fully market-oriented, not mine "backing" the nitrogen fertilizer business reaction then? In the survey, the majority of companies that will release positive energy. The reason is that, over the years, the thermal power market has been the market for coal, electricity plans say. The implementation of the merger of coal prices, coal prices in all market-oriented, only the market from coal can achieve fair competition, conducive to a certain extent, coal prices steady, nitrogen fertilizer industry is positive. 

Tin Chak Shanxi Coal Chemical Group Shanxi is the only one not to enter large-scale coal group urea, a urea production was 172 million tons in 2012. The Group Chairman Jia Genzhu analysis, now fully market-oriented coal prices may be more stable. In the past, coal boss according to market fluctuations raise prices, fertilizer prices are also regulated by the market in 2009 by the government guidance to urea consumers farmers, limited purchasing power, in fact, the urea price does not truly reflect market conditions companies can only own digestion. December 2010, Shanxi Jincheng Anthracite Lump factory price reached 1,600 yuan / ton, raised by 400 yuan per ton, or 33.3 percent to 1,800 yuan / ton, the cost of production of urea, urea prices limited gains. Affected half a year to increase spending 27.5 million yuan, Shanxi Fengxi Fertilizer Group throughout the year to increase the cost of 135 million yuan. In addition, there are a number of small and medium-sized nitrogenous fertilizer enterprise by coal prices rising impact forced to stop, Shanxi urea production decreased by about 50% in the past year. 

"Now, the price of coal market-oriented, and everyone on the same starting line, more equitable, but is a good thing." Gu Genzhu said. (Wang Leyi)
