Solid Energy is the largest coal mining company in New Zealand and is a state owned enterprise of the New Zealand Government. The company was formed from the former government department State Coal Mines. It was then established as a state owned enterprise called Coal Corporation in 1987 (known as Coalcorp),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Industry History )〕 and renamed Solid Energy New Zealand Limited in 1997. In 2010, it had a turnover of NZ$689.8 million and produced 3.8 million tonnes of coal.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Annual Report 2010 )〕 The company mines extensively in New Zealand's Waikato and the West Coast regions. Approximately half the coal mined is exported, as it is high value with little moisture, sulphur, or other impurities. Much of this is to China, India and Japan where it is used in the power generation and coke industries and for the manufacture of steel and other metals. Major domestic users include the Huntly Power Station and New Zealand Steel at Glenbrook. Solid Energy went into voluntary administration in August 2015. == Coal operations == Solid Energy produces approximately 85% of New Zealand's coal annually.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Coal Industry Overview )〕 Each year it produces around 4 million tonnes, more than half of it for export.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Solid Energy's coal business )〕 Solid Energy has proposed opening two further mines: the Cypress Mine and the Mt William North Mining Project. In 2006, Solid Energy bought Newvale Coal Co Limited and acquired the Newvale opencast mine, located in the Waimumu coal field in Southland. The Newvale mine supplies lignite to the domestic market, including to Fonterra's Edendale dairy plant. In December 2010 the Terrace mine near Reefton, which had closed in 2009, was sold to Crusader Coal. In October 2011 Solid Energy opened the small opencast Reddale Mine near Reefton on the West Coast. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Solid Energy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
