China is now the largest coke producer, as well as the largest coke consumer, in the world. The total output of coke of China in 2007 was 3.36bn tons, accounting for 61% of that of the world, while the export 15.3m tons, 45% of the world's.

The concentration of China's coke industry has been increasing these years. In 2007, the outputs of 4 provinces, i.e. Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and Henan, accounted for 55% of the country's total, and of which the top 4 coke producers accounted for 8%. As to production capacity, 41 new coke furnaces were completed in China in 2007, with the new annual production capacity of 20 million tons. By the end of last year, the total annual production capacity in China was 360 million tons. Furthermore, 2008 through 2009, some mechanized mid- & large-sized coke furnaces are under construction or under plans, with a total new capacity of 50 million tons.
The major targets of China's coke export are countries of large-scale steel production, such as Japan, Belgium, Brazil, and India. In 2007, China sold to Japan 3.36 million tons of coke, up by 45.7% year-on-year, and accounting for 22% of China's total coke export; while 3.31 million tons to EU, 21.6% of China's total. And half, or 1.54 million tons, of China's coke export to EU, was to Belgium. In addition, 2.42 million was sold to Brazil and 1.55 million to the U.S. The hear-said 4 markets claimed 69.5% of China's total coke export.
Since consumption of coke kept increasing fast in industries such as steel, iron alloy, calcium carbide, chemical, non-ferrous smelting and mechanical manufacturing, the apparent consumption of coke in China reached 320.24 million tons in 2007, up by 13.81% year-on-year. Coke for industrial purposes accounts for about 96% of total coke consumption in China, for example, steel and chemical industries account for 75% and 10% of the total coke consumption in China respectively.
Beijing has made unprecedented efforts to adjust the structure of the country's industry, to prevent overheat of high-energy-consuming and high-discharge or -emission industries, and then to promote environmental protection and integrated utilization of resources. Coke industry bears the brunt of those government policies because it's one of the industries that produce the most pollution. On the other hand, the raw materials for coking, the coking coal, is one of the rare coal varieties in China, and the reserves of it is only 27.65% of China's total coal reserves. So Beijing has developed many measures to control the export of coking coal, for example, high tariffs, limited export quotas, high standards of becoming a coking coal exporters etc.
This report elaborates on the development environment, supply & demand, industrial scale, import & export, and prices of China's coke industry, in addition to the comparison of business operations of top coke producers in China. As it's deemed necessary, the report also gives outlook of China's coke industry.
