has announced the addition of GlobalData's new report "Chinese Coal
Mines - Consolidation Leading to Closures and Reduction in Mine
Accidents" to their offering.
Chinese Coal Mines - Consolidation Leading to Closures and
Reduction in Mine Accidents
The Chinese government's efforts at cutting down and
consolidating coal mines which were environmentally hazardous with
inefficient production and low safety standards, was initiated
during early 2006. This resulted in the nationwide closure of
approximately 9,000 small coal mines, 18,145 of which were
operating at that time. The closure of coal mines started in the
province of Shanxi during the 11th Five Year Plan (FYP) period of
2006-2010, with the objective of cutting down mine accidents
stemming from non-compliance with mine safety standards. Other
provinces followed this trend, including Chongqing Municipality,
Hunan, Heilongjiang, Henan, Inner Mongolia and Hebei provinces
being prominent among them. In pursuance of the government's
consolidation efforts, by early 2011, the number of small operating
coal mines in China was reduced to approximately 9,042.
Scope
The report provides a brief of the restructuring of coal mines
in China leading to closure of environmentally and physically
unsafe and illegal mines, starting with the Shanxi province,
cutting down of production by provinces, reduction in mine
accidents and effect on national production and trade.
Reasons to buy
Obtain an understanding of the ongoing Chinese coal mines
restructuring and consolidation and its effects on lessening of
accidents at coal mines, national production and trade.
