Does thermal coal futures increase in price? at present
? In recent days, the price of thermal coal has been rising. So far, the price has moved in RMB in 80 yuan. So what is the reason why the price of thermal coal is rising so fast? First of all, what is thermal coal and what is its main purpose. ? Power coal refers to coal used as power raw material. In a narrow sense, it refers to coal used for thermal power generation; Broadly speaking, all coal used for power generation, locomotive propulsion, boiler combustion and other purposes. It belongs to power coal, referred to as power coal for short. The requirements of thermal coal for calorific value, volatile matter and ash content are not as high as those of chemical coal (such as coking coal for steelmaking). ?

According to the main uses of thermal coal, let's analyze the reasons for the price increase of thermal coal. According to the above definition, we can know that power coal is mainly used as power raw material. At present, it is autumn and winter, and the northern part of China is also in the heating period. It is not difficult to see the main reason for the recent price increase of thermal coal, that is, the price increase caused by the change of demand.

Secondly, thermal coal is also one of the main energy sources for power generation. Due to the rising global population, the demand for corresponding supporting facilities in life is increasing. For example, the increase of population will inevitably lead to the increase of household electricity consumption. In order to increase power generation, thermal power plants have to increase the use of thermal coal, which is also subject to the increase of demand, which eventually makes the price of thermal coal rise.

Finally, it is because of the enhancement of environmental awareness. With the continuous reduction of production of some large-scale thermal coal supply coal plants, the supply of thermal coal in the market is declining. The declining supply and demand for thermal coal have not been controlled, but the demand is more, which will inevitably lead to an increase in the price of thermal coal.

But for our home on earth, we should all make contributions. Saving resources starts with me.
