Shanxi, China’s major coal-producing region, mandates miners to limit coal overproduction, initiating safety checks from March 2024 to May 2024. This directive aims to mitigate accidents stemming from excessive output. The move is expected to curtail supply by 5-6 mnt. The province produces 29% of China’s coal supply, including thermal coal for power plants and coking coal, a key steel-making ingredient.
