China Shenhua Energy Company Limited is the largest coal producer and one of the leading electricity producers in China. Established in 1995, the company is part of the China Energy group and is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Shenhua is known for its vertically integrated operations, allowing it to control the entire value chain from coal extraction to electricity sales.
H1 2024 Results
In the first half of 2024, China Shenhua maintained stable commercial coal production, reaching 190 million tonnes, up from 187.5 million tonnes in the same period last year. Coal sales for the same period reached 269.7 million tonnes, an increase from 255.9 million tonnes sold last year. However, gross power generation slightly decreased, producing 124.07 billion kWh compared to 120.53 billion kWh in 2023.
This increase in sales was accompanied by mixed performances in the polyethylene and polypropylene sectors, where sales declined compared to the previous year due to market volatility and increasing environmental and regulatory challenges.
Strategy and Outlook
China Shenhua continues to adapt to a rapidly changing environment, marked by growing pressures to reduce carbon emissions and improve energy efficiency. The company has implemented measures to enhance production efficiency while exploring new opportunities in renewable energy and green technologies.
Despite these challenges, China Shenhua remains well-positioned to maintain its dominance in China’s coal market while diversifying its activities to meet global environmental standards.
Conclusion
China Shenhua Energy demonstrated notable resilience in the first half of 2024, with increased coal sales despite a challenging operational environment. The company continues to adjust to market dynamics while seeking to expand its portfolio into more sustainable energy sources.
