Description
This dataset is a market activity dataset, covering the average transportation distance for washed and refined coal in the Chinese market. In China, coal is mainly transported via railway, waterway, and highway. Average coal transportation losses are also included. Data references include the China Transport Yearbook, China Energy Statistical Yearbook, Henan Statistical Yearbook, Hubei Statistical Yearbook, Hunan Statistical Yearbook, and customs statistics from the General Administration of Customs.
Activity Description
This dataset is a market activity dataset. Each market represents a consumption mix of products within a specific region, connecting suppliers with consumers of the same product within that region. Markets encompass both producers and importers of the product within the same geographical area. Additionally, markets account for the transportation of products to consumers, as well as losses occurring during the transport process.
Process Description
Cleansed coal refers to high-quality coal that has been processed in a coal preparation plant to reduce ash and sulfur content and remove certain impurities, making it suitable for specific applications. Cleansed coal can be categorized into coking cleansed coal for metallurgical use and coking cleansed coal for other uses. Metallurgical coking cleansed coal is available in three size fractions—less than 50 mm, 80 mm, and 100 mm—with an ash content less than or equal to 12.5%, commonly referred to as metallurgical cleansed coal. Other coking cleansed coal is also available in three size fractions—below 50 mm, 80 mm, and 100 mm—with ash content ranging between 12.5% and 16%, commonly abbreviated as other cleansed coal.
