Shanghai, the economic hub of China, has set specific targets for the reduction of coal used by major end users such as steel and chemical by the end of 2017, aiming to ban scattered coal burning and cap coal use at a reasonable level.The city will control total coal consumption volume in steel industry and gradually reduce direct coal burning and coal used for coking, said the work plan issued by Shanghai Development and Reform Commission and other six municipal departments.By end-2017, Baoshan Iron & Steel Co., Ltd, China’s largest listed steel maker, is asked to cap coal use at 13 million tonnes, it said.Shanghai will also strictly control coal used as chemical materials, banning new coal chemical projects. Gaoqiao Petrochemical Co. and Shanghai Petrochemical Co. are asked to cut coal use in their self-generation power plants and complete clean reformation by end-2017.Shanghai Huayi Group, one leading chemical enterprise, is set to control coal use within 2.4 million tonnes, including coal used as chemical materials below 2.05 million tonnes.For thermal coal used for power generation, the plan asked for gradually improving clean coal’s share in power generation, on the base of cutting total coal use.Shanghai will promote upgrading at coal-fired power plants. Coal-fired generating units with capacity at and above 600 MW should complete environmental upgrading to realize low emissions by the end of this year, and those with capacity below 600 MW should be retrofitted by the end of 2017.By then, Shanghai’s average coal use in coal-fired power units will be less than 300g/KWh.
