Inner Mongolia to produce 700 million tonnes of coal in 2010

Monday, 22 Mar 2010

Interfax China reported that the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region plans to produce about 700 million tonnes of coal in 2010.

Inner Mongolia wants to be more than just a raw coal producer and hopes that more than 45% of its coal will be processed locally. For new coalmines, the region has ordered that 50% of their output must be processed locally.

The region has also requested that coalmines continue to update production technology to boost the coalmine recovery rate to more than 65% from the current 60%.

Inner Mongolia produced 600 million tonnes of coal in 2009.
