National Energy Board website on February 4 open invitation "Coal Industry Policy" (revised draft) comments, feedback deadline is February 24, 2013.
Under the revised draft, China will control the eastern coal development strength, stability, the central region of coal production scale, enhance exploration and development of coal resources in the western region. God East, Northern, Huanglong (Gansu), Ningdong base ordered the construction of large modern coal mines, focusing on building a number of million-ton mine group; Shanxi Province, Jinzhong, Jindong Ji to accelerate integration of coal upgrading New moderately large modern coal mines; Jizhong, Luxi, Henan, Salt base do deep exploration, construction, mines continue to limit depth of 1000 meters in construction of new wells; Mongolia East (NE) base priority to build large coal mine; accelerate the construction of the Yunnan-Guizhou base medium-sized coal mines, strong integration of closure of small coal mines; Xinjiang as China's important energy base in strategic reserve base, the implementation of protective development.
Encourage the construction of pithead, priority development of coal, electricity integration project, priority development of circular economy and resource utilization projects.  Restrictions in the coal supply shortage and water scarcity regional development of deep processing of coal, insufficient capacity in the environment prohibit the development of deep processing of coal region.The state of implementation of special and scarce coals protective development; limiting sulfur, high-ash coal resource development.
State coal mining enterprises to gradually increase the minimum size criteria, encourage through mergers and acquisitions, etc., to improve the coal industry concentration, and promote orderly competition.Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, northern Shaanxi and other regions of coal mining enterprises scale of not less than 300 tons / year, Fujian, Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan, Guangxi, Chongqing, Sichuan and other provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) scale coal enterprises not less than 30 tons / In other areas of coal mining enterprises scale of not less than 600,000 tons / year.
Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi and other provinces (area) new construction, renovation and expansion of the mine scale principle, less than 1.2 million tons / year.Chongqing, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan and other provinces (city) new construction, renovation and expansion of the mine scale of not less than 150,000 tons / year.Fujian, Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan, Guangxi and other provinces (area) new construction, renovation and expansion of the mine scale of not less than 90,000 tons / year.Elsewhere new construction, renovation and expansion of the mine scale of not less than 300,000 tons / year."Twelve Five" period ban on new 300,000 tons / year of high gas, 450,000 tons / year of coal and gas outburst.
