Hard to read

This article is becoming confusing. There is a mishmash of information, some of it overlapping, duplicating. A lot needs to be pruned, while still considerable information is missing. The page needs a head to toe overall. The intro is inadequate. Much of the information is almost a decade old. There isnt enough about the industry, the consequences, the impact on transport etc... this gives an incomplete perspective and is almost distorted. Kudos to anyone who can improve this!

Capacity projections for 2010 and 2030

The numbers seem a bit fishy, since the 2006 capacity is at most 300 GW and the 10%/year growth rate is not consistent with 852 GWe of coal-based capacity by 2010. Xenonice (talk) 02:56, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch. Energy policy of China gives:

In 2006, China's total annual electricity output was 2.83 trillion kWh, and the annual consumption was 2.82 trillion kWh (second largest in the world). The total installed electricity generating capacity was 622 GW in 2006, and hit 710 GW by the end of 2007. [15]

I don't think it was 300 GW in 2006, but the rest of it could be right. -Theanphibian (talk • contribs) 04:21, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The 484GW installed capacity for 2006 actually refers to Thermal Gross Capacity (that includes oil and gas, source: ENERDATA 2006 data) and not coal-fired generators alone. It is however a good proxy of coal power capacity as oil+gas account only for 3.5% of thermal energy produced in 2005 (source IEA). The 300GW estimate appears therefore too low. 213.140.6.103 (talk) 08:39, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

domestic use of coal

I notice that there is an entire industry catered to the domestic use of coal fire. http://images.google.com/images?q=蜂窝煤 shows there are standard size coal bricks that fit into stoves for home use. I think that is a huge aspect not explored by this article. Kowloonese (talk) 23:40, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Accidents in coal mines

There is no separate article only focused on Chinese coal mine disasters in general with historic estimations on lethal accidents available on Wikipedia right now, I think some people are consistently taking away this kind if information, in any case it is really needed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.237.92.194 (talk) 14:57, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved. Jenks24 (talk) 05:02, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]


Coal power in the People's Republic of China → Coal in China – This article was created as Coal power in China. This time that was a correct title as it dealt only with the coal-fired power generation in China. However, at its current state it deals with all aspects related to the Chinese coal industry and not only with the coal-fired power generation. Therefore, the more broader title is needed. The new title Coal in China will be in line with the Coal in country X series. At the moment, this is a redirect to this page. As for title, I am ready to accept also Coal in the People's Republic of China as an alternative; however, Coal in China is more simple and it will be most likely more widely used search term.

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Split

There is a long list of accidents. As it is in the list form, it suits better as a separate list. Although safety is a crucial aspect which should be included here, I have some doubts if the full list belongs here. Beagel (talk) 07:07, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Was split into List of coal mining accidents in China. Beagel (talk) 08:25, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

When did Chinese coal consumption peak?

The 1st sentence of the 2nd paragraph says that both production and consumption peaked in 2013. Yet the very next sentence says that consumption peaked in 2014. So which is it? Plazak (talk) 20:24, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
