China is expected to coal shortage
According to experts, by 2010, China will consume 2.2 billion tons of coal, which will cause a shortage of 330 million tons#39; capacity and the scale of China#39;s coal industry in the future will not be able to meet the market demand in the country. The lack of supply will be the main problem #39;- Hyanzheng said Wang, deputy. director of the State Administration of Work Safety. At present, China produced 1.67 billion tons of coal. Only 1.2 billion tons were produced in compliance with safety regulations.
By 2010, coal production could reach 1.87 billion tons of 87.4% of energy reserves in China - coal, which the Chinese has long considered the main source of energy. In the coal sector in the country is still full of problems: the irrational structure of the industry, the high cost of production and high risk.
