Rampaging Shenhua

LEADING coal producer China Shenhua Energy is continuing to increase production and reduce exports as China’s hunger for coal cannot be satisfied.

Last month Shenhua produced about 18.3 million tonnes of coal, up 2.8% from a year ago.

Coal sales for July were up 15% year-on-year to 25.3Mt.

Exports are not a major component of its sales mix, but they decreased 33% year-on-year to a mere 800,000t last month.

The major producer managed to ship out the bulk of its production to other parts of the country with a total of 15.2Mt of seaborne coal during July, up 12.6% from a year ago.

Half of the coal shipped went through Huanghua Port in Hebei province.
