In the 1st quarter of 2021, the Russian Coal company increased energy coal production by 3% compared to the same period in 2020. This figure increased from 3.5 to 3.6 million tons of solid fuel.

“In the 1st quarter of 2021, the situation in the coal market as a whole can be called favorable. Active demand for energy coal was observed both in the domestic and international markets. This makes it possible to look optimistically into the future and plan the growth of production capacities after a difficult year, in our opinion, for the coal industry of the Russian Federation in 2020, ”a company representative commented on production results and prospects.

“Russian Coal” is producing brown and stone energy coal in an open manner. The company’s production assets are located in the Amur Region, Krasnoyarsk Territory and Khakassia. The holding includes 7 coal mines, as well as an concentrating factory.

The products of Russian Coal are shipped to the needs of large generating companies, the housing and communal services sector, public consumers, private households, and are also exported. The geography of its consumers covers 60 regions of the Russian Federation and 15 countries of the world.

According to the results of the 1st quarter of 2021, the production of brown energy coal in the Pereyaslovsky section located in the Krasnoyarsk Territory increased by 26% compared to the 1st quarter of 2020 – from 661 to 831 thousand tons. This was reported by the Russian Coal company.

The representative of the company explained this increase in demand for Pereyaslovsky section products – 3B energy coal, which is distinguished by one of the highest calorie content among brown coals in the mainland of the Russian Federation (up to 4,400 kcal/kg). Pereyaslovsky coal is shipped mainly to Russian consumers, but is also exported. Solid fuel is used for the needs of generating companies – thermal power plants and state district power plants, large enterprises in the housing sector, and in addition, it is burned in small boiler houses.

In 2021, on the Pereyaslovsky section, which processes the reserves of the Pereyaslovsky brown coal deposit, 95-million tons of coal will be mined from the moment it is put into operation. In the reserves of the enterprise at the moment – about 260 million tons of solid fuel.

Russian Coal continues to implement an investment program for the development of production and technical re-equipment of coal mining enterprises in the Amur Region.

New mining equipment enters the Erkovetsky section. Recently, the fleet of equipment of the enterprise has been replenished with 6 bulldozers of domestic and imported production, 2 loaders, 3 hydraulic excavators. In addition, the enterprise received the Ural dump truck for the repair service and Ural – a workshop, three shift automobiles, a PAZ bus and three UAZ cars.

The expansion and modernization of the fleet of mining and auxiliary equipment directly affected the efficiency of production processes:the idle time of wagons has decreased, the condition of technological roads has improved, and the efficiency of logistics for the delivery of personnel to the workplace and for the repair of mining transport equipment has increased.

The new technique is used, among other things, for proper operation of quarry drainage and advanced drainage of rock masses due to water-lowering wells, due to which the quality of Erkovets brown coal is improved.

To combat watering on the section, advanced water-lowering wells are used. They intercept most of the water going through the rocks in the bottoms. There are 220 such wells. In addition, there is a permanent pit drain, which is provided by 24 pumps.

“This year, at the beginning of each of the four entry trenches, it is planned to install sumps with powerful pumps used earlier to pump inundated water. In the summer, they will intercept water going into the bottoms from the day’s surface, which will preserve the quality characteristics of the fuel shipped to consumers, “the representative of the enterprise explained.

The systematic renewal of equipment and the growth of production capacities of the Yerkovetsky section makes it possible to create new jobs. Comfortable conditions for workers to live in the new watch complex for miners, located in the village of Varvarovka, Oktyabrsky District, Amur Region, in the immediate vicinity of the coal mining enterprise.

On the Stepnaya section, stone energy coal of the “D” brand is mined with a calorie content of over 5,500 kcal/kg. A distinctive feature of fuel is the low content of sulfur. Due to this, coal burns easily. Such fuel is also suitable for heating stoves of social facilities and for heating residential buildings of the private sector. 98.8% of coal produced is processed at an enrichment plant, due to which the calorie content and quality characteristics of products are increased. Annually, over 4 million tons of solid fuel are mined on the Stepnaya section. So, in 2020, more than 4.4 million tons of coal were mined.

In 2020, the Russian Coal company supplied 5.2 million tons of hard and brown coal for the needs of 16 power plants of the Russian Federation. Among the consumers of this fuel are such large generating companies as DGK, OGK-2, SGK, TGK-1, TGK-2 and others.

In the future, we plan to maintain close interaction with this segment of consumers, while pursuing the most flexible pricing policy and a high level of customer orientation. We always try to meet the generating companies halfway, including in ensuring operational and large unscheduled fuel supplies during the heating season, “the Russian Coal company’s commercial service explained.
