A major feature of the coking coal futures tracking artifact - Platts China's thermal coal prices. This feature collates CFR prices for thermal coal with different calorific values in South China provided by Platts, including 3,800 kcal, 4,700 kcal, and 5,500 kcal. Daily live updates.
The CFR (cost and freight cost plus freight) price of thermal coal in South China is usually determined based on the calorific value of coal. The higher the calorific value, the higher the price of coal. 3,800 kcal, 4,700 kcal, and 5,500 kcal represent the different calorific values of coal. Of these, 5,500 kcal thermal coal has the highest calorific value, so the price is usually the highest.
The following is a general description of CFR prices for thermal coal with different calorific values:
-
3,800 kcal thermal coal: This is thermal coal with a relatively low calorific value. It is mainly used in some industrial uses that do not require high calorific value. Due to its lower calorific value, its CFR price is generally lower than higher calorific value coal.
-
4,700 kcal thermal coal: Thermal coal with moderate calorific value, suitable for various industrial and commercial uses. Its CFR price is between low calorific value and high calorific value coal.
-
5,500 kcal thermal coal: This is thermal coal with a high calorific value, commonly used for power generation and some industrial processes requiring high thermal efficiency. Due to its high calorific value and good quality, CFR is usually the highest of the three.
