Coal transport priority

China's railway ministry said yesterday it will enhance the support for thermal coal transport this year in an effort to ensure coal supply to the country's power companies. The ministry said it will arrange more transport capacity for thermal coal this year than that for 2012. The ministry has always prioritized thermal coal transport in the past, as railways play a significant role in carrying thermal coal around the country due to lower cost and less pollution than other transport modes. The ministry said that coal reserves in 363 major power plants nationwide had maintained at a level that could last for over 26 days last year.
