Development Trend Of China's Coal Chemical Industry

By:


Coal is China's major energy resources. It is not only the important fuel but also an important chemical raw material. In recent years, in the context of international oil price shocks and more and more urgent demand for alternative energy sources for chemical raw materials, energy conservation has become a trend. Clean coal use is one of the ten emerging energy industry. In the context that many listed companies are actively involved in the coal chemical industry, the development prospects of coal chemical industry are paid great attention.

In recent years, China's major coal chemical products maintained a rapid growth. In 2009 China's methanol production reached 11.334 million tons. In the first half of this year the methanol production reached 8.11 million tons, an increase of 53.3%. In 2009 the production of synthetic ammonia reached 51.36 million tons, while in the first half of this year the total production of synthetic ammonia is 26.491 million tons, an increase of 4.6%. In addition, there is a large number of coal chemical projects that are under construction.

Analysts of the field say that the coal chemical industry accelerated restructuring. The traditional coal chemical industry is competitive. At present, coal-based chemical products face overcapacity and the fierce competition. The industry structure needs to be optimized. In 2009 the national coking industry shut down nearly 23 million tons of backward, small and old coke oven production. It set up new production capacity of about 37 million tons of coke oven to achieve the replacement of automated, large-scale, environmentally clean production of large and medium oven for backward capacity.

The new coal chemical industry, which is led by the clean coal gasification technology, has high energy efficiency, less carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions and many other advantages. It has become an important area for the future development of the coal chemical industry. According to expert estimates, the new coal chemical's unit energy consumption is often 20 percent lower than the traditional coal chemical industry. The "three wastes" emission is reduced by more than a half. If the design and management is scientific, it can also achieve the resource utilization or even "zero" emission.

Analysts of the field say that the main driving force of the sustainable development of the new coal chemical industry is technological innovation. Through the new coal chemical technology, the solid coal can be converted into petroleum chemical products and clean energy alternatives and greatly improve energy efficiency, dramatically reduce carbon, sulfur and nitrogen oxide emissions.
