2 Advancing energy saving & emission reduction work
2.1 Investing in saving energy
In 2013, the company invested ¥38.54 million on sewage treatment, ¥70.78 million on fume and gas treatment, and ¥3.578 million was charged for sewage discharge. In the same year, ¥18.158 million was invested in energy-saving technologies, and ¥10.6224 million was spent on eliminating high energy-consuming equipment.
2.2 Energy saving projects
The recent past saw the Zhaolou coal mine conducting a major sewage renovation project and the reconstruction of the Tianchi coal mine’s sanitary and mine site sewage treatment systems. These projects ensure that all mine site sewage is properly treated and meets the government’s discharge standards. Moreover, a class A closed circulation system is adopted for the treatment of coal washing water.
Our coal pit headquarters are equipped with ‘clean coal pits’ optimising our coal dust spraying facilities, and eight units have established their own washing station.
Nantun Power Plant has renovated its furnace limestone injection and desulphurisation facilities, achieving SO2 emission concentration to be controlled at lower than 200mg/m3. The Jier Power Plant has implemented a dust treatment system which combines electronic dust cleaning with dust collection pocket, enabling the plant to control emission concentration at less than 20mg/m3. The plant’s remaining boilers are installed with smoke and dust collectors, making them 100% compliant with dust and SO2 emission standards with reduction of 856.3 tonnes of SO2 emission.
Dongtan coal mine upgraded its energy-saving centrifugal compressor, Jining No.2 coal mine and Beisu coal mine conducted the SVG reconstruction, Yangcun coal mine completed four energy-saving projects, including using the new energy sources such as solar power in the bathing water system for workers, by which 4,000 tons of standard coal were saved per year.

3 Building a green production layout
3.1 Green mining
Increasing the rate of resource reclamation
We have continued our policy of the last few years of minimising the environmental impact of all facets of operations, from design to purchase to production to after-sales service. As part of this, we are committed to the ‘green’ exploitation of coal resources based on efficient and sub-level caving mining. To increase the rate of coal resource reclamation, the company has also emphasised the complementary mining of thick and thin coal seams, boundary coal mining, ‘triangular’ coal mining, cut-and-fill mining, and the simultaneous extraction of coal and gas. In 2013, we achieved a reclamation rate of 81.17% in our mining areas.
Controlling greenhouse gas emissions
Tight control of gas emissions is of priority importance in the simultaneous extraction of coal and gas, both to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to guarantee safety in the mines. To achieve this, the company strongly emphasised solutions and management and regular training to improve the skills of the miners.
Complementing these measures were the introduction of advanced designs, techniques and theories for mine
ventilation – a process of improvement that continues today. Through our research, we are striving to create better and more comprehensive prevention and control technology that will make gas extraction safer, cleaner and more efficient.
In 2013, the Tianchi Coal Mining Company achieved the integrated utilisation of 41 million cubic metres of gas.
Preventing land subsidence
Cut-and-fill mining – a relatively efficient technique – delivers fill materials like gangue and creams into the goafs along with the development of the stope, and then conducts stoping under the protection of the fills. Recently, company research made significant improvements to the gangue filling technique possible. Jisan Mining, Beisu Mining, Jier Mining, Xinglongzhuang Mining and Baodian Mining have steadily put into practice the separation between coal and gangue as well as fill mining. This ensures that the gangue remains in the coal mine and thereby largely reduces the occurrence of land subsidence, while increasing the rate of coal resource reclamation.
In 2013, the company filled 100,000 tons of gangue, replacing 135,000 tons of coal resources.

3 Building a green production layout
3.2 Cleaner production
Saving energy, mimimising pollution and maximising cost-effectiveness are at the core of the company’s approach to cleaner production. As part of our ‘cleaner production audit’, the company has conducted tests on thermal, water and electric equilibrium, and implemented a ‘cleaner production plan’ by putting in place new technology and stronger management of energy and product consumption quotas. Other measures include improving energy consumption control across the production process, optimising production system operation parameters, and increased the operational efficiency of all energy consuming equipment.
Small tips
Six power plants affiliated with Huaju Energy Company have conducted the ‘cleaner production audit’, resulting in the creation of 170 ‘cleaner production plans’ of which 165 have already been executed. Among these, 98 were zero or low cost, and 67 medium or high cost. The initiative directly resulted in the conservation of 227.2 thousand tons of fresh water, 11.6073 million kwh of power, 34.67169 thousand tons of coal, and 34.23 tons of oil. The scheme also led to 56.592 million kwh of additional electricity generated, conservation of the desulphurisation dose of 961 tons last year, a 141,000 ton cut in waste water production, and sulphur dioxide emissions reduced by 94.75 tons.
3.3 Low-carbon conversion
High-carbon energy converted to low-carbon energy
Another major environmental initiative carried out by the company involved a number of coal preparation plant improvements. Among these was the implementation of a flotation system, for the construction and application of an information loop network. The firm also made progress in its research of processing technology and equipment, especially concerning high-ash and easy argillisation coal washing. As a result, the goal of ‘row coal all selected, coal slurry all into the float’ was achieved. Benefits include a reduction in the ash content of coal slurry, an increase in the reclamation rate of clean coal, reduced possibility of delivering coal product mixed with gangue, less pollutant emissions from fired coal, and coal products’ compliance with state environmental requirements.
Efficient utilisation of clean coal
Measures implemented to increase the efficient usage of clean coal included using the resource to generate electricity while harnessing the byproduct heat resources. The company also pushed its coal chemical engineering technology forward, intensified coal processing, and implemented effective methods to reclaim and recycle carbon dioxide produced in the process. We have promoted the switch from fuel-oriented coal to a combination of fuel-oriented coal and coal-based chemical raw materials, which will further enable a more efficient utilisation of clean coal.

3.4 Utilisation of resources
The company now uses ‘low calorific value’ resources such as coal slurry and coal gangue as fuel for power plants. The resulting annual consumption of coal slurry is on the order of 928.6 thousand tons, and 226.2 thousand tons of coal gangue. The remaining coal gangue and coal ash were used to manufacture building materials, in road construction, and as fill in mines to prevent subsidence, thus delivering an overall utilisation rate of 100%.
Additionally, the company has achieved full compliance with the Water Law of the People’s Republic of China and Provincial and Municipal Water Management Regulations, and has drafted its own comprehensive water conservation management approach. Through
Building material
our more efficient water utilisation, industrial production water has been reduced to a rate of 5.6 cubic metres per RMB10,000.
Another facet of the company’s comprehensive approach to conservation is the use of advanced technology to apply mine water and domestic sewage as cooling water in thermal power plants. Recycled water is also used to control dust fall, in coal washing plants, and in the land reforestation process. In total, the company achieved a 95% reuse rate for mine water and 65% for domestic sewage.
Small tips
Nantun Mine has adopted mine water membrane purification technology to solve the problems generated by its heating network system and cooling water. The measure ultimately contributed to a fund saving of RMB841,000, and in 2013, 126,000 cubic metres of fresh water saved. The project complies with state policy for energy conservation, emissions reduction and the circular economy, and points the way to further improvements in both the water supply in coal mines and the overall environment.

4.1 Reforestation of coal gangue piles
The construction of ‘green mine’ areas and a remediation programme of gangue reforestation are currently among the company’s highest environment-related priorities. Of four existing gangue piles, two have already been reforested, with reforesting work underway on the remaining pair. Meanwhile, the Zhaolou Mine has been equipped with a coal gangue-dumping site that conforms to state-mandated standards. This enables the processes of gangue dumping, landrection and reforestation to occur simultaneously. To date, the company’s has reforested a gangue area of 260,000 square metres with 65,469 trees and shrubs.
4.2 Minimising land subsidence
The company’s efforts to reduce the impact of its mining activities begin in the pre-mining phase, when scientific surveys identify likely areas of land subsidence. Subsequent mining operations are planned to minimise subsidence effects and actively manage any land subsidence that does occur. For example, soil resources on land that is likely to subside are excavated and preserved, and affected land is eventually reforested.
In 2013, in accordance with relevant state laws, the company fulfilled its obligation to restore the environment in coal mining areas. The company has
