Shanxi coal firms take green strides

Companies make good progress in cutting pollution, use of renewables and value addition

Coal companies in Shanxi, a key coal producing province in China, have made remarkable progress in shifting from heavily polluting coal mining to clean and efficient use of the nonrenewable resources.

Some of the companies are also foraying into environmentally friendly and high value-added businesses other than the coal sector, such as new materials and equipment manufacturing.
