To create impetus for mechanized production, automation and create a foundation for technical progress in industry as well as other economic sectors, the electricity industry is rapidly increasing in output. Along with that, the role of coal is placed first. Although this raw material source is rapidly decreasing, it is a major problem globally. Countries are also gradually shifting to new renewable energy sources such as coal which will remain important for at least the next 27 years. Require countries other than domestic coal mining to ensure imported coal supply.

1. The role of coal in electricity production

Coal is a viable and easily available energy source, widely used in the power, cement, steel and chemical industries. Energy from coal is helping the thermal power industry in more than 70 countries and more than 13 other countries are currently planning to develop this power industry, including Vietnam.

Coal, after being extracted from the coal mine, will be crushed into powder and burned in a boiler. Coal is burned to create steam that turns turbines and generators that produce electricity. Coal power accounts for 37% of the world's electricity.

In combustion chambers for electricity production in Vietnamese coal power plants, anthracite coal, brown coal and imported bituminous coal are most often used. Among them, anthracite coal is the largest source of raw materials for electricity production due to its high thermal energy, low sulfur content, and highest energy density among coal types.

2. Why is coal still important to the power industry?

A report by the Coal Industry Advisory Council (CIAB report, 2011) emphasized that the world will remain dependent on coal for decades. Coal mines are expected to provide coal output for power plants that will increase by more than 60% from 2006 to 2030. In particular, Vietnam is expected to need to import about 2.5 million tons of coal in 2025 and 90.3 million tons. million tons of coal in 2030 for electricity production. It can be seen that in the immediate future, it is very difficult to replace coal with other energy fuels during this time. Besides, coal still brings the greatest benefits when used as combustion energy for today's industrial production systems. Therefore, coal is still an important raw material source for the electricity industry.

3. Transformation in the energy industry: The future of coal

Vietnam still has high demand for coal in the near future. However, domestic coal reserves have long been insufficient to ensure fuel supply, mainly relying on imports to meet the operation of the thermal power plant system across the country.

In addition, the trend of reducing CO2 emissions is increasing globally, as more and more countries apply carbon taxes, leading to increased energy costs when using fossil fuels. Under that pressure, many businesses are gradually converting and looking for alternative solutions. In Vietnam, biomass is one of the potential fuel sources thanks to its great agricultural advantages.

At the same time, carbon capture technology (CCS), also known as CCS, was born. This is a potential technology to reduce Co2 emissions, helping to limit the increase in global average temperature to less than 1.5 degrees Cd compared to the pre-industrial period. Technology helps businesses convert to green energy, reducing dependence on coal, thus helping to minimize the impact of coal on the environment.

4. Thuan Hai's role in supplying coal to the electricity industry

As one of the units providing comprehensive energy solutions, Thuan Hai plays an important role in the leading logistics and fuel chain in Vietnam.   Possessing a large fuel supply network, cooperating with quality coal mines in Indonesia, Australia, Russia and other countries, Thuan Hai contributes to ensuring national energy goals, then creating favorable conditions. beneficial for businesses using this fuel source.

Coal imported from these countries has criteria suitable for boiler systems of industries and thermal power plants that have been and are being built in Vietnam, thanks to high volatile matter and low sulfur content. . Currently, Thuan Hai imports and supplies about 3 million tons of coal to the market each year and will continue to grow in the near future to meet market demand.

5. Coal from Thuan Hai fuels the power industry

Thuan Hai supplies imported coal from leading coal markets:

Australian coal: With total export coal volume accounting for 37.8%, the world's largest coal exporter in terms of output. Australian coal has stable quality, durable structure, high heat capacity, and is commonly used in boilers and thermal power plants.

Indonesian coal: Indonesian coal has a diverse calorific value from low to high, high volatile matter content and high moisture content, safe to use. Besides, Indonesia is close to Vietnam, so it optimizes transportation costs significantly.

Russian coal: With abundant reserves, high calorific value, suitable quality, effective application in boilers and thermal power plants. Therefore, Russian coal is increasingly processed and processed at coal plants in our country.

6. Benefits of using coal from Thuan Hai

Having become an extremely important link of large industrial clusters in Vietnam and other countries in the region, Thuan Hai supplies coal sources with top criteria, committed to providing customers with coal sources. highest quality.

We ensure to provide businesses with coal sources with stable output and reasonable prices, less dependent on market fluctuations. Coal is quality tested before being imported to Vietnam. In addition, purchasing procedures, after-sales support services, transportation, and consulting at Thuan Hai are carried out quickly and professionally to optimize costs for customers.

In addition, owning a large port warehouse system stretching across the country helps Thuan Hai reach many customers, reduce transportation time and costs, and ensure a continuous and stable supply of goods. .
