Coal Production and Demand - China\'s Participation in the Global Coal Markets
POINT ROBERTS, WA, February, 23rd 2006 - www.CoalSectorStocks.com, a global investor and industry news portal for coal sector stocks, (a portal within the www.InvestorIdeas.com umbrella of investor portals) is pleased to offer interested investors a new resource tool for researching the sector. During the past twenty years, the coal market has developed rapidly and according to data from the US National Mining Association, coal production is anticipated to reach 1.16 billion tons, 3.2 percent higher than 2005. The demand and growth due to rising energy prices has created new interest in coal stocks and investing in the sector.
China is a major factor in the global coal market with the majority of China\'s energy production still generated from coal. China is currently the world\'s leading coal producing country, producing 2.11 billion tons of coal in 2005. In addition to energy generation, certain types of coal are also essential to the production of steel - this application is also a significant factor in the expansion of China's coal market. Puda Coal, Inc. (OYCBB: PUDC), a Chinese coking coal producer and Yanzhou Coal Mining Company Limited (NYSE:YZC), provide insight into the critical driving forces behind this particular sector (Also visit our China-Asia portal www.China-AsiaStocks.com for recent articles on the coal and steel industries).
As China continues to expand its infrastructure, demand for coal is on the rise globally and within China. Chinese coking coal producer Puda Coal is benefiting from domestic construction's need for steel, which has increased 25% in the first seven months of 2005. "Driving the demand for coking coal is the mass construction of infrastructure projects that require the use of large amounts of steel, and coking coal is essential in making coke, which is largely used in the steel making process,\" explains Puda Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Zhao Ming. "We are now very well positioned to capture the intense demand for the high grade coking coal helping fuel China's industrial revolution." Yanzhou Coal Mining Company Limited also shows great confidence in the coal market. According to a company representative, "China's coal consumption will continue to grow. A major driving factor is China's high economic growth, which drives the demand for coal. In 2006, it is expected that coal consumption in China will reach 2.17billion short tons, an increase of 0.13 billion short tons from 2005."
