Company Profile
Group Profile
Xinggao Group is a privately owned company founded in Gaoping, Jincheng, Shanxi. Its businesses span energy, building materials, new energy and medical materials. The group works to a stated principle of energy saving, environmental protection and low-carbon operation, built around stamp-charging ovens and the full conversion of waste heat — coking without wasting heat, with all waste heat put to efficient use. Coke is the main export business of the group.
The coke products described on this website are produced by the coking business of the group. The producing entity is Shanxi Xinggao Group Sanjia Coking Co., Ltd., and the four management system certificates and the discharge permit are all registered to that entity.
Built on systems, raised by culture, strengthened by technology; responsibility makes an environmental business, and innovation lifts a traditional industry.

The only coking-and-power enterprise in mainland China to hold this title
Xinggao Group is the only coking-and-power enterprise in mainland China to have been jointly awarded the title of Demonstration Enterprise under the China Township Enterprise Energy Saving and Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction Project by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and the Ministry of Agriculture of the People's Republic of China (MOA).
The recognition arises from the energy saving and greenhouse gas reduction practice in coking itself: the ovens extract no chemical products, the heat in the raw gas is converted in full into power and heat, and coking wastewater and crude benzene are eliminated at source.
Technical Appraisal
The group originated a coking process using a high proportion of anthracite in the blend, contrary to the established industry view that anthracite cannot be coked. Experts from the China Coal Research Institute, the Anshan Research Institute of Thermo-Energy and the National Quality Supervision and Inspection Centre for Coal and Coal Chemical Products appraised the result: Xinggao metallurgical coke is of good quality, with post-reaction strength higher than that of other cokes.
Where this starts
Coking without wasting heat; all waste heat put to efficient use.
A principle only counts when it shows up in the process
Waste heat is not waste; it is energy that has not yet been given a destination. That view does not settle how we describe ourselves — it settles three concrete things: the ovens extract no chemical products, the heat in the raw gas is converted in full into power and heat, and desulphurisation gypsum goes into the cement business of the group. A principle is written on paper; its cost and its benefit land on the process.
Operating philosophyBuilt on systems, raised by culture, strengthened by technology; responsibility makes an environmental business, and innovation lifts a traditional industry.
How the record was built
The Recognition Comes From the Process Itself
An environmental record can be built in two ways: by adding abatement equipment at the end of the line, or by running a process that does not create the problem in the first place. This plant belongs to the second kind — and that is what the four bodies examined when the title was awarded.
Eliminated at source, not treated at the end
The ovens extract no chemical products, and the heat in the raw gas is converted in full into power and heat. Coking wastewater and crude benzene are therefore not steps in the process at all — they are not treated, they are never created.
What the four bodies assessed was the whole route
UNDP, UNIDO, GEF and the Ministry of Agriculture granted the demonstration title on the basis of this energy saving and greenhouse gas reduction practice as a whole, not on the basis of any single item of equipment. That is why this site sets out the process in detail rather than the title alone.
The same process, with each stream of heat given a destination
The process has not been replaced since the title was granted. What changed is where the waste heat goes: power to the national grid, turbine extraction steam to district heating in winter, and desulphurisation gypsum into the cement business of the group. The loop closes inside the group rather than by selling by-products on for someone else to deal with.
You do not have to take our word for it
Coking wastewater, crude benzene inventory and negative pressure across the gas circuit can all be checked directly during a site visit. Emission figures, the validity period of the discharge permit and the numbers of the four management system certificates are set out on this site. These are items that can be verified, not adjectives.
In progressUltra-low emission certification is still in progress. It is not presented here as complete, and this site will be updated once it is obtained.
Why this matters for term contracts
For buyers working on annual or term contracts, the environmental compliance position of the supplier bears on continuity of supply. The verifiable items and their validity periods are set out here so that your team can check them at the evaluation stage, rather than finding documents outstanding after a contract is signed.
