During the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" Period, Fujian Province sought over 100 million tons of coal

It was learned from the Ministry of Land and Resources that in the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, Fujian Province completed a total of 320 million tons of geological search for coal, exceeding the target of 100 million tons, equivalent to three times the amount of coal resources submitted during the “10th Five-Year Plan” period.

Coal is the major energy source in Fujian Province, accounting for about 70% of the province's energy consumption. The province's total annual consumption of coal exceeds 50 million tons. During the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, Fujian Province earmarked 2 million yuan each year for geological research and pre-geological work, and actively applied for the implementation of national resources compensation fees, central government subsidies, and provincial special funds for geological surveys. 39 projects were successfully established. The Central and Provincial Financial Geological Survey Projects have completed resource investigations in a group of coal mining areas in Shantou, Longyan, Xinluo, and Shangyao, Yongchun County, etc., and achieved the “Three Downs” (under the structural nappe, under the red beds, and volcanic rocks.
