As the year-end approached, Shenhua significantly reduced its auction volumes, a key factor driving the robust performance. Reports suggest that the coal-based producer's sales strategy for 2025 will allocate 60% of its output to the Auction Platform, 30% to the export market, and the remaining 10% to the offline spot market.

Looking ahead, trading sentiment on the Shenhua Auction Platform is expected to remain strong in the coming week, underpinned by steady demand and limited supply.

Shenhua Baotou Coal Chemical Co, the largest coal-based polyolefins producer in China, operates through four subsidiaries: Shenhua Xinjiang Coal-based New Materials Project, Shenhua Yulin Energy Co. Ltd., Shenhua Baotou Coal Chemical Co. Ltd., and Shenhua Ningxia Coal Industry Group (Ningmei).

The company boasts an annual production capacity of 2.65 million tons of PP, 750,000 tons of HDPE/LLDPE, and 570,000 tons of LDPE.

Active in spot trading, Shenhua Baotou also conducts daily auctions for its cargoes from 10 AM - 12 PM on its dedicated online platform, available at https://www.e-chnenergy.com.
