Shanxi, the leading coke-producing province in China, has fully shut down coke ovens with chamber heights of 4.3 meters and below by the end of 2023, completing the ultra-low emission transformation of all steel enterprises, and advanced production capacity in the coking industry accounted for 96.6% of the total, an official said in a conference.
Meanwhile, the province's coal output increased by more than 100 million tonnes annually for two consecutive years and further rose by 57.43 million tonnes to 1.38 billion tonnes in 2023.
Electricity generated from the above designated-size power producers amounted to 437.6 TWh in Shanxi, with 157.6 TWh being transmitted to other provinces and regions. Non-conventional natural gas production reached 14.59 billion cubic meters.
These achievements have strongly supported the stable economic growth of Shanxi and demonstrated its commitment to national energy security.
As of the end of 2023, Shanxi has established a total 118 intelligent coal mines and 1,491 intelligent mining faces and completed three modifications (energy-saving & carbon reduction, heating and flexibility modification) of coal-fired power units with a combined capacity of 25.03 GW.
The province has also added 49.89 GW of wind and solar installed power capacity, with new and clean energy installed capacity reaching 45.8% of total power capacity. Four pumped-storage power station projects have received approval.
Furthermore, the coal-producing hub is on track to add another 150 intelligent mines this year, expanding the share of advanced coal capacity to 83%.
Unconventional natural gas production and storage will be increased and new power systems will be constructed, with the expedited development of new energy bases in northern Shanxi and geothermal and biomass energy.
Shanxi will continue to improve coal and coke commodity trading markets and pricing mechanisms and strengthen the development of the electricity market system, in a bid to enable wider sharing, mutual benefits and optimization of resource allocation.
