Tense coal supply to continue
www.chinanews.cn 2005-04-07 13:42:54
Chinanews, April 6 - The Development Research Center of Coal Industry
forecast that the annual domestic demand of coal would reach 2.1 billion
tons this year, and would increase to 2.5 billion tons in 2010. Based on
this calculation, and in light of coal mine shut-downs and possible
natural reductions in output, China will need to exploit a new throughput
of more than 500 million tons to meet demand. A tense supply and demand
relationship will continue to exist in the next 5 to 6 years as the
nation's economy grows.
Coal is China's primary energy source and one of the most important raw
materials in the country. It has significant strategic meaning for the
nation's economy. Coal will remain a major form of energy form in next
several decades, and the world's coal-dominated energy structure is
unlikely to change.
