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
Coal is a combustible sedimentary rock formed from the remains of plants and animals through millions of years of geological processes under conditions of high temperature and pressure, primarily composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, along with small amounts of sulfur and nitrogen. Coal serves as the foundation of China's energy structure and is widely used in power generation, industry, metallurgy, and other fields.
