Shenhua maintained robust transaction activity on its Auction Platform as the year draws near to a close. The coal-based petrochemical producer experienced reduced sales pressure, evidenced by a decline in auction volumes for PP and PE in recent weeks.

As previously reported, Shenhua has announced its sales allocation strategy for 2025. The plan designates 60% of production output for the Auction Platform, 30% for export markets, and the remaining 10% for spot offline sales to local converters.

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.
