According to those who attended, the green transformation of the coal coking industry is a necessity under the backdrop of vigorously promoting ecological civil construction, which is also critical to the transformation, upgrading, and green development of China's energy industry.
Lvliang's Mayor, Wang Liwei, noted that Lvliang, the largest coke production base in Shanxi, currently has 45 million metric t of coking capacity with annual coke output of 20 million t. The city has been firmly fostering the green development of its coal coking industry in recent years.
