China Shenhua reports mixed October operating results across key segments

China Shenhua Energy Company Limited released its key operating data for October 2025, showing mixed results across its coal, transportation, power generation, and chemical segments. Coal production decreased by 7.4% year-on-year to 26.4 million tonnes for October, with cumulative production also down 1.1% to 277.3 million tonnes. Coal sales saw a 5.8% decline in October to 36.0 million tonnes and an 8.2% drop cumulatively to 352.5 million tonnes.

In transportation, Huanghua Port’s vessel loading volume decreased by 1.6% to 18.3 million tonnes in October. Tianjin Coal Terminal’s vessel loading volume surged by 20.7% to 3.5 million tonnes, primarily due to a lower base from equipment maintenance in the prior year. Shipping turnover, however, fell by 10.5% in October to 9.4 bn tonne-nautical miles, attributed to adjustments in business and route structures.

Power generation saw an increase, with total power generation up 2.3% to 17.98 bn kilowatt-hours for October. Chemical product sales were mixed, with polyethylene sales down 5.6% to 30.6 thousand tonnes, while polypropylene sales increased by 12.7% to 31.9 thousand tonnes, driven by production growth and inventory. The company noted that since February 2025, its operating indicators include business volumes from Hangjin Energy, following its acquisition.
