In the first nine months, the national railway coal transportation volume was 1.561 billion tons.

China News Service, Qingdao, October 21st. The 5th Energy Supply Chain Conference and Coal Production and Transportation Demand Coordinated Development Conference were held in Qingdao, Shandong Province on the 20th. The reporter learned at the meeting that from January to September this year, the national railway coal transportation volume was 1.561 billion tons, a year-on-year increase of 0.5%; of which thermal coal was 1.04 billion tons, maintaining a high level.

This conference is hosted by the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing and hosted by the National Coal Trading Center and China Internet of Things Energy Supply Chain Branch.

Coal is the "ballast stone" of my country's energy security. A sound, efficient and coordinated coal supply chain system is of great significance to stabilizing industrial and economic operations and ensuring reliable power supply. At the meeting, the relevant person in charge of the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing said that to build a unified national energy market, we must firmly adhere to the bottom line of energy supply, consolidate the medium and long-term contract system for thermal coal, open up the blockages in production, transportation, reserves, and circulation, promote multi-party linkage of production and transportation needs, simultaneously promote digital intelligent upgrades and green and low-carbon transformation, and continue to improve the resilience of the coal supply chain.

At present, the capacity of thermal coal loading organizations in main production areas has been further strengthened, and efforts are being made to "load everything that needs to be loaded and ship everything that needs to be shipped." In the first nine months of this year, thermal coal loading in Shanxi increased by 1.4% year-on-year, and Inner Mongolia increased by 12.5% ​​year-on-year.

Since the beginning of this year, China Railway Group has issued 6 batches of supply guarantee and dispatch orders to ensure point-to-point precise supply for 45 power plants in Henan, Hubei, Ningxia and other provinces and regions, ensuring that the inventory of power plants remains stable and resolutely completing the task of ensuring energy supply during peak summer. As of September 30, 375 railway direct power plants across the country had 70.95 million tons of coal in storage, with a usable consumption period of 30.7 days, maintaining a relatively high level.

With the theme of "Promoting the Efficient and Coordinated Development of the Coal Supply Chain", nearly 600 representatives from national ministries and commissions, China Railway Group, coal, electric power, steel, ports, logistics, scientific research institutions, etc. discussed the full chain coordination of coal production, supply, storage, marketing and transportation, energy supply guarantee and green and low-carbon transformation path, to help the coal supply chain achieve a good start in the "15th Five-Year Plan".
