We decide the number of sample plants in each province based on its production. Most of the plants are private ones with higher degree of marketization, supplemented by state-owned plants; a few plants in non-major production provinces are also considered. Coking plants of the same capacity and ownership will be chosen to substitute those that undergo bankruptcy regrouping. In this case, subscribers will be informed timely.

We have all coking plants, with total production capacity of 569 Mtpa. About 69 coking plants in Shanxi have a total capacity of 120.15 Mtpa, 39 plants in Hebei with 75.8 Mtpa of production capacity, 27 Shandong-based plants, 41.77 Mtpa; 30 plants in Inner Mongolia, 58.24 Mtpa; 11 plants in Shaanxi, 16.8 Mtpa; 149 plants in other provinces, with capacity at 256.71 Mtpa. The total capacity of Sxcoal sampled coking plants accounts for 100% of the total capacity of operating coke ovens nationwide.
