Description
This dataset is a market activity dataset, covering the average transportation distance for washed middlings coal in the South China region. In China, coal is mainly transported via rail, waterways, and highways. Average coal transportation losses have also been included. Data references include the China Communications Yearbook, China Energy Statistical Yearbook, Guangdong 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
Washed middlings are intermediate products separated by coal preparation plants, with ash content lower than clean coal but higher than coal gangue, primarily used as boiler fuel in power plants.
