We predict that from 2022 to 2024, the growth rate of the company’s output will be 9.25%, 6.43% and 4.97% respectively.
The comprehensive coal price center moves upward with strong certainty. In terms of thermal coal, the company’s long-term cooperation accounts for more than 80%. Due to the policy guidance, the price of thermal coal is increased, and the benchmark price is increased from 535 yuan / ton to 675 yuan / ton. Therefore, the price center of thermal coal may move up, and the production and sales volume of thermal coal of the company is large, and the performance is expected to increase. In terms of coking coal, the price of coking coal is expected to rise further, benefiting from the rise in infrastructure demand caused by government investment and the supply gap caused by the Australian coal ban. On the whole, the prices of the two self-produced coals of the company are expected to increase in an all-round way, and the central shift of the comprehensive selling price is highly certain.
Under the high oil price, the prosperity of coal chemical industry is better, and the landing of methanol production capacity will bring scale synergy.

Among them, the company’s methanol technology transformation project with an annual output of 1 million tons from syngas was completed and put into operation in 2021, which mainly provides methanol raw materials for the production of olefins in Mengda chemical industry. Under the background of rising methanol prices, the new project is expected to bring cost advantages to the production of polyolefins. In addition, the average spot price of Brent crude oil in 2021 is about $70 / barrel. According to the EIA prediction, the average price will reach $103 and $93 / barrel in 2022 and 2023.
