据普氏能源资讯9月4日新加坡报道，来自行业协会和矿业公司的高管周四在蒙古乌兰巴托举行的第九届煤炭蒙古大会上表示，焦煤出口仍是蒙古出口收入的重要组成部分，加大努力与其他煤炭生产国竞争，同时解决具有挑战性的运输问题十分必要。

蒙古矿业和重工业部长D Sumiyabazar说:“政府将全力支持煤炭行业，因为它对蒙古的经济有着深远的影响。”

据蒙古煤炭协会统计，煤炭占蒙古国一次能源的90%以上，占蒙古出口收入的三分之一。

他在谈到俄罗斯、中国和印度尼西亚时说：“虽然蒙古的煤炭出口多年来有所增加，但我们面临着来自全球市场的竞争加剧。”

然而，物流和运输将是蒙古煤炭出口面临的一个关键挑战。

据市场消息人士透露，蒙古的煤炭交易在被中国北方的最终用户消费之前，要经4至5方的转手。

据估计，从炼焦煤矿到蒙中边境甘其毛都的距离约为240-250公里。

不过，物流和运输正在努力改善。塔班陶勒盖至甘其毛都铁路线路预计将于2021年建成，跨蒙古铁路正在扩建，到2020年煤炭吞吐量将增至3400万吨/年。

Mongolia eyes higher value coking coal exports; logistics key challenge

Mongolia's coking coal exports remain an integral part of the country's export income and increased efforts are needed to compete against other coal-producing nations and solve challenging transportation issues, senior executives from trade associations and mining companies said Thursday at the 9th Coal Mongolia conference at Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.

"The government will fully support the coal industry as it has an influential impact on Mongolia's economy," D Sumiyabazar, Mongolia's Minister of Mining and Heavy Industry said.

Coal represents over 90% of primary energy source of Mongolia, and provides one third of the country's export income, according to Mongolian Coal Association.

"While Mongolia's coal exports have increased over the years, we are faced with increased competition from the global markets," he said, referring to Russia, China and Indonesia.

However, logistics and transportation would be a key challenge for Mongolian coal exports.

The Mongolian coal trades hands between four to five parties before it is consumed by a northern China end-user, according to market sources.

The distance from coking coal mines to the Mongolia-China border at Ganqimaodu is estimated to be around 240-250 km.

However, efforts are being made to improve logistics and transportation. Tavan Tolgoi to Ganqimaodu railway link is expected to be completed in 2021 and Trans-Mongolian Railway is being expanded to increase coal throughput volume to 34 million mt/year by 2020.
