Coke Production, Sales and Stock (60 Coking Plants)

Fenwei Energy picked 60 representative coking plants (production capacity totaling 115 Mtpa) as monitoring sites in coke major production areas of Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and Inner Mongolia. In-depth communication with their production and sales staff allows us to create weekly reports on price, operating rate, inventory, production cost and sales of each sample plant. We thus can make quantitative research on the production and operation situations of China's coking plants. 

We decide the number of sample plants in each province based on its production. Most of the plants are private ones with higher degree of marketization, supplemented by state-owned plants; a few plants in non-major production provinces are also considered. Coking plants of the same capacity and ownership will be chosen to substitute those that need undergo bankruptcy regrouping. In this case, subscribers will be informed timely.

The coking plants monitored currently include 29 plants in Shanxi with capacity at 45.41 Mtpa, eight in Hebei (23.75 Mtpa), eight in Shandong (9.2 Mtpa), six in Inner Mongolia (9.6 Mtpa), and another nine in other regions with capacity of 25.8Mtpa. In total, 60 coking plants are selected, with capacity combined at 115.6 Mtpa. In terms of ownership, 51 plants are private and nine are state owned.
