The annual report on the development of the 2017 coal industry (hereinafter referred to as the report) issued by the China Coal Industry Association (hereinafter referred to as the report) pointed out that under the guidance of the country's policy of dissolving excess capacity, the coal industry overdone excess capacity in 2017. At the same time, there are still some problems to be solved. From the supply side, the first is that the national coal production capacity is still large, but the irrational structure problem is outstanding, the backward production capacity still accounts for a large proportion; two is the contradiction of regional supply and demand.

According to the national development and Reform Commission data, since 2016 a total capacity of more than 5.4 tons of coal to. In 2017, the coal industry overfulfilled the target of 1.5 billion tons at the beginning of the year. Jiang Zhimin, vice president of the China Coal Industry Association, said at the conference that the coal production capacity is still large, but the problem of irrational structure is outstanding, and the backward production capacity still accounts for a large proportion. The number of coal mines below 300 thousand tons in the country is still 3209, production capacity is about 5 billion tons, of which 90 thousand tons and below the number of coal mines are 1954, production capacity is 1.26 million tons, and the task of eliminating backward and improving high quality production capacity is dependent on the task dependence. But it is heavier.

While the overall efficiency of the coal industry rebounded, because of more historical debt and heavy burden, the operation of some coal enterprises has not been fundamentally improved. Zhang Hong, the Deputy Secretary General of the China Coal Industry Association and director of policy research department, said that due to the imbalance between supply and demand, coal prices rose sharply. After the completion of the capacity task, the supply and demand pattern, the production pattern, the development layout, the production structure, the consumption structure and the transport pattern of the national coal industry will change greatly, which will affect the development of the coal industry for a long time in the future.

  那么，下一步煤炭行业如何结构性去产能，提高供给质量？

Jiang Zhimin told reporters at the conference that in 2018, we should grasp the rhythm of production and grasp the "three years' capacity plan in 13th Five-Year". This year, the production capacity should be changed from total capacity to capacity to structural capacity, market oriented, strategic restructuring, integration of upstream and downstream, and new economic growth points. We must unswervingly deal with "botany enterprises", deal with the relationship between capacity and supply protection, and give full play to the role of high-quality production in the north. This year's conditional mines will also increase production capacity and resource conditions. The coal mines with safety requirements will increase production through nuclear expansion. In the past two years, more coal mines are mainly in the south, so the supply of these places should be the main content of macro-control.

Jiang Zhimin said that in 2018, we should promote the construction of large bases and large groups, optimize the coal supply structure, adhere to the emphasis on improving the quality of coal supply, accelerate the elimination of the production capacity that can not reach the requirements of environmental protection, quality, technology and safety standards, and close the overlapped coal mines, such as the mining scope and natural reserves, scenic spots and drinking water source protection areas, and crack down on the super productivity students. Production and illegal coal mine production, especially in the northwest of Shanxi, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia and other northwest areas, has good resource storage conditions and easy production.  We should introduce low risk and high risk production capacity, and accelerate the withdrawal of backward production capacity, such as resource depletion, high production cost, poor coal quality and loss of profitability. We should promote safety, efficiency and intellectualization of coal mine construction, speed up the release of advanced production capacity and increase the proportion of large-scale modern coal mines. To promote industrial transformation and upgrading, promote the coordinated development of coal supply side and demand side, build an integrated development mechanism of coal production and marketing, and explore the model and new format of the supply and demand of coal market.

Zhang Hong said, to improve the quality of coal supply, we should start from the following aspects: first, to promote the innovation of coal production mode. For example, we should actively promote the intelligent mining of coal, the construction of underground unmanned working face and the level of coal equipment. The two is to achieve the docking of coal production and coal consumption through business mode innovation. For example, Shandong jujube Mining Group's production and marketing collaborative innovation mode. The three is the innovation of investment mode. In the future, the coal industry should break through the traditional construction mode and diversify.  The four is the mode of modernization. For example, "Internet plus coal" the development of the new model, inspire new impetus to the coal industry, expand the new way of value-added products.
