中国是世界{zd0}的焦炭供应国，2008年焦炭产量达到3.36亿吨，占世界总产量的60%。近十年来，世界焦炭产能的增长主要在中国，世界焦炭市场的供应也主要来自中国。而欧洲是目前最重要的焦炭进口地区，占全球焦炭贸易的一半，这决定了中国焦炭出口量的变动会对欧美国家焦炭价格造成巨大的影响。
China is the world's largest supplier of coke, coke production in 2008 reached 336 million tons, accounting for 60% of world production. Last decade, the growth of the world's coke production capacity, mainly in China, the world's coke supplies to the market mainly from China. Europe is the most important coke importer, accounting for half of global coke trade, which determines the changes in China's coke export price of coke will be Europe and the United States a huge impact.

不过，尽管中国国内焦炭产能已经严重过剩，但焦化企业产能扩张势头仍然强劲。据了解，大型国有企业的焦炉投资仍然不受限制，且没有资金上的压力。今明两年内，预期中国在建和拟建有可能投产的机械化大中型焦炉产能仍高达5000万吨。
    河北钢都武安市一焦炭企业负责人说：“随着国有企业在炼焦炉上的大规模投入，未来焦炭行业产能过剩的问题仍无解。”
However, although China has a serious surplus of coke production, but the momentum of coking capacity expansion remains strong. It is understood that large-scale investment in state-owned enterprises still unrestricted oven, and no financial pressure. Next two years, China is expected to be put into operation and construction of a proposed large and medium coke production mechanization is still as high as 50 million tons.

    Hebei Steel companies are Wuan a coke head, said: "With the state-owned enterprises in the coke ovens on a large-scale investment in the future coke industry overcapacity problem still no solution."
