Datong Coal Mining Group
The Datong Coal Mining Group () ranks as the third-largest state-owned coal mining company in China, following the Shenhua Group and China National Coal Group. Based in Datong, Shanxi Province, it is situated within a region known for holding the nation's most extensive coal reserves.
Originally founded in 1949 under the name Datong Coal Mining Administration, the organization underwent restructuring in 2000 to become Datong Coal Mine Group Company Limited. Its publicly traded arm, Datong Coal Industry, was listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in 2006.
In response to issues of excess production capacity and to foster sustainable development, Datong Coal Mining Group has implemented a circular economy strategy. This approach includes expanding into related industries such as thermal power generation, aiming to optimize the use of coal byproducts and broaden its sources of income.
