Currently, coke production in China could be classified into commercial machine-made coke manufacturer and coke manufacturers of large steel enterprises. However, as the latter mainly serve their parent companies, only coke from the former can be seen in the market.
Coking industry underwent rapid development during the period of 2011-2013 with a big rise in coke production. By the end of 2014, coking industry has reported excess capacity of 680 million tons, among which only 70% were utilized. In 2014, 711.60 million tons of cast iron, 823 million tons of crude steel (half of the total production in the world) and 1.126 billion tons of steel were produced, all reporting a decreasing growth rate. And coke production in 2014 was 477 million tons, increasing 0.1% year on year. Therefore, it is clear that the changes of steel industry directly influence the trend of coke production.
With regard to the distribution of coke production, coking enterprises mainly concentrate in North China, East China and Northeast China, among which Shanxi reported an output of 87.2225 million tons in 2014, an 18.29% of the sum. Although...
