China's Shanxi urges coke makers to halt curbs to boost gas output – official

Coke producers in China's Shanxi province have been urged by authorities to resume full output in an effort to produce more coke oven gas, a provincial government official told Reuters on Thursday. Coke oven gas is a by-product of coke production and oven gas can be treated and turned to liquefied natural gas (LNG) for residential use.
