Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/47a956ae/chinese_coal_mines) has announced the addition of GlobalData's new report "Chinese Coal Mines - Consolidation Leading to Closures and Reduction in Mine Accidents" to their offering.
Chinese Coal Mines - Consolidation Leading to Closures and Reduction in Mine Accidents
The Chinese government's efforts at cutting down and consolidating coal mines which were environmentally hazardous with inefficient production and low safety standards, was initiated during early 2006. This resulted in the nationwide closure of approximately 9,000 small coal mines, 18,145 of which were operating at that time. The closure of coal mines started in the province of Shanxi during the 11th Five Year Plan (FYP) period of 2006-2010, with the objective of cutting down mine accidents stemming from non-compliance with mine safety standards. Other provinces followed this trend, including Chongqing Municipality, Hunan, Heilongjiang, Henan, Inner Mongolia and Hebei provinces being prominent among them. In pursuance of the government's consolidation efforts, by early 2011, the number of small operating coal mines in China was reduced to approximately 9,042.
Scope
The report provides a brief of the restructuring of coal mines in China leading to closure of environmentally and physically unsafe and illegal mines, starting with the Shanxi province, cutting down of production by provinces, reduction in mine accidents and effect on national production and trade.
Reasons to buy
Obtain an understanding of the ongoing Chinese coal mines restructuring and consolidation and its effects on lessening of accidents at coal mines, national production and trade.
