Shenhua Bulianta Coal Mine in Inner Mongolia

The Shenhua Group's Bulianta coal mine on the banks of the Ulan Moron River. Nearly 30 years of coal mining have made the Ulan Moron River, a class-A tributary of the Yellow River, run dry several times.

Shenhua Coal-to-Liquid Impacts in Inner Mongolia

A collection of images showing a devastated land and the effects of water shortage on people in the Ordos grasslands in Inner Mongolia. For ten years, the Chinese state-run organisation Shenhua Group, the world's biggest coal producer by volume, has sucked this land dry, exploiting water resources at a shocking scale from these beautiful grasslands to use in its coal-to-liquid project (also known as coal liquefaction, a process for producing liquid fuels from coal) and illegally dumping toxic industrial waste water. Shenhua's operations have sparked social unrest and caused severe ecological damage including desertification, impacting farmers and herders who are facing reduced water supplies in what was once an abundant farming area.
