1. Eliminate excess capacity
Resolving excess capacity is the key word of this year's coal industry. In January 2016, Premier Li Keqiang presided over the Symposium on resolving overcapacity and realizing the development of poverty alleviation in the iron and steel coal industry in Shanxi, which opened the curtain of resolving coal overcapacity. On February 5, the State Council issued the opinions on solving excess capacity of the coal industry to achieve the development of poverty alleviation, which requires that, based on the elimination of backward coal production capacity in recent years, it will take three to five years from 2016 to withdraw about 500 million tons of production capacity and reduce and restructure about 500 million tons. Nur Baikeli, director of the national energy administration, pointed out that in principle, it is strictly prohibited to build new batch of coal projects in the three years starting this year. According to the deployment, all localities have set the goal of resolving the coal excess capacity, and have taken a number of corresponding measures to guarantee it.
2. Strengthening the management of bulk coal
Bulk coal treatment has received unprecedented attention this year. Chen Jining, Minister of environmental protection, said at this year's "two sessions" that bulk coal is a relatively difficult problem because it involves thousands of households. The emission of one ton of bulk coal combustion is equivalent to the emission of five to ten tons of coal-fired filters in power plants, and with the improvement of people's living standards, the consumption of bulk coal is increasing. In the next stage, there will be greater investment and better methods in the management and control of bulk coal. High quality coal replacement is a transitional measure in the current economic and social environment. In the long run, it is necessary to gradually release clean energy with natural gas filtration system and coal filtration system.
3. Clean and efficient is the first task
On November 17, Premier Li Keqiang pointed out at the meeting of the National Energy Commission that energy production should not only optimize the stock, but also take promoting the clean and efficient development and utilization of coal as the foothold and primary task of energy transformation and development; at the same time, we should expand the increment, speed up the proportion of renewable energy such as water energy, wind energy, solar energy and biomass energy, develop nuclear energy safely and efficiently, and optimize energy production Layout.
4. Coal price stops falling and rises
Since March this year, the coal market has gone out of a wave of obviously rising market. On November 12, Bohai Rim power coal price index closed at 607 yuan / ton, up 14 yuan / ton on a month on month basis, setting a new record for the year and rising for 18 consecutive periods. Among them, 24 port specifications continued to rise. On November 9, the Bohai Rim power coal price index closed at 606 yuan / ton, down 1 yuan / ton on a month on month basis, ending the previous 18 consecutive gains. The latest price index of Bohai power coal shows that on December 21, 2016, the price index of Bohai power coal closed at 594 yuan / ton, down 3 yuan / ton on a month on month basis. It has been down for seven consecutive periods, but it is still significantly higher than the price of 371 yuan / ton in the first period of this year.
5. Frequent occurrence of mine accidents
Near the end of 2016, coal mine safety accidents occurred frequently in China. At around 11:30 on December 3, a particularly serious gas explosion occurred in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Chifeng BMW Mining Co., Ltd., killing 32 people; on November 29, a major gas explosion occurred in Jingyou coal mine, Qitaihe City, Heilongjiang Province, killing 21 people; on October 31, a gas explosion occurred in Jinshangou coal mine, Laisu town, Yongchuan District, Chongqing City, killing 33 people; on October 13, Gas explosion in 1203 face of Rongsheng coal mine, Lanxiang, Zhenfeng County, Guizhou Qianyue Mining Co., Ltd. killed 7 people In the past two months, mining accidents happened one after another, causing many casualties. Throughout the year, from January to November this year, there were 22 major coal mine accidents in China, with an average of two accidents a month. In this regard, the Safety Committee Office of the State Council, the General Administration of work safety, the coal regulatory bureau and other departments took various measures to strengthen coal mine safety production.
6. Coal to gas EIA "opening"
In March and April 2016, the Ministry of environmental protection successively issued the reply to the environmental impact report of the clean utilization demonstration project of Datong low metamorphic bituminous coal of CNOOC, the reply to the environmental impact report of the 4 billion standard cubic meters / year coal to natural gas project of Suxin energy and Fengfeng Co., Ltd., and the reply to the environmental impact report of the 4 billion standard cubic meters / year coal to natural gas project of Inner Mongolia Beikong Jingtai Energy Development Co., Ltd Reply to the environmental impact report of 0 billion cubic meters / year coal to natural gas project. On December 6, the environmental impact report of the 2 billion cubic meters coal to natural gas filtration project of Xintian Coal Chemical Co., Ltd. of Shandong energy new mining group was approved. The Ministry of environmental protection agreed on the nature, scale, process, location and environmental protection measures of the construction project listed in the environmental impact report of the project, removing the policy obstacles of the project commissioning. The four projects have a total SNG capacity of 14 billion m3 / year.
7. Opening of market-oriented debt to equity swap
On October 10, the State Council's "opinions on actively and steadily reducing the leverage ratio of enterprises" and the annex "guiding opinions on debt to equity swap of market-oriented banks" were officially released, and the curtain of China's deleveraging and "debt to equity swap" was officially opened. Subsequently, on November 14, Shandong SASAC, China Construction Bank and Shandong energy group jointly signed a framework cooperation agreement on market-based debt to equity swap. China Construction Bank will take the lead in establishing three funds with a total scale of 21 billion yuan in stages. On December 8, Shanxi Coking Coal Group, China Construction Bank and Shanxi SASAC jointly signed a framework agreement on market-oriented debt to equity cooperation. Shanxi Coking Coal Group Co., Ltd. and China Construction Bank will jointly set up the "cost reduction and efficiency increase fund" and "transformation and development fund of Shanxi Coking Coal Group" with a total scale of about 25 billion yuan. On December 14, Agricultural Bank of China and Guizhou Provincial Government jointly signed Liuzhi industrial and Mining Group
