TO ACHIEVE THE COMMERCIAL COAL YIELD OF FROM 0.5-1.0 MILLION TONS BY THE YEAR 2030
To develop Vietnam’s coal industry into a competitive industry applying technological advances to coal exploration, mining, and preparation, processing and trading, on March 14, 2016, the Prime Minister signed the Decision No. 403/QD-TTg on approving the adjusted master plan for Vietnam’s coal industry development to 2020 and vision towards 2030.
This scheme set the objectives that probable commercial coal yields of Vietnam’s coal industry, 2016: approximately 41-44 million tons; 2020: 47-50 million tons; 2025: 51-54 million tons; 2030: 55-57 million tons; 2021-2030: conduct pilot projects in Red River Delta coal basin as the basis for the investment in large-scale coal mines ; achieve the commercial coal yield of from 0.5-1.0 million tons by the year 2030.
Mining planning has the orientations such as combine small-scale mines into a large scale mine; stabilize and increase coal yields; take use of internal coal mine waste dumps; invest in pilot projects in Red River Delta coal basin. In particular, from now to 2020, in the Dong Bac Coal Basin, to renovate, expand and increase the mining capacity of 9 coal mine projects (in Cam Pha : 4 projects; Hon Gai: 4 projects and Uong Bi: 1 project); invest in 41 new coal mine projects (in Cam Pha : 17 projects; Hon Gai: 7 projects and Uong Bi: 17 projects)…
This scheme is emphasized with the orientations that coal import-export; meet the domestic consumption demand in both coal weight and type; reduce export and increase import…
