Enter the " Twelfth Five Year Plan ", as China's energy consumption structure upgrading transformation, increasing international pressure of carbon emission reduction, resource constraints, the national environmental policy will become increasingly tense, in addition to Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi and other coal production increased, competition is more and more fierce, our province coal production capacity expansion space more compression, yield increase is very limited. In 2012, coal production in 2013 were 9.1 tons, 9.6 tons, growth of 4.7%, 5.4%, coal enterprises into the change value in order to measure the embarrassing situation.
