Background
Chinas MEG consumption continued growth driven by the polyester industrydevelopment. In 2011, China imported about 7.2 Mt of MEG, an 8% growth than the 6.64 Mt imports in 2010. Benefit from the huge gap between supply and demand, the slow growth of Petrochemical-route MEG production, and the good MEG market under the background of high oil prices, coal to MEG (CTMEG) is facing an excellent development opportunity.
In 2011, there are solid progresses in China’s CTMEG – demonstration projects and pilots. According to the data from ASIACHEM, Tongliao GEM has reached the 75% stable operation load for its 150 kta plant; Hualu Hengsheng has completed the mechanical construction for its 50 kta CTMEG project and plans to start trial run in March 2012. In addition, Sinopec Yangzi, Shanghai Coking of Huayi Group, Anhui Huaihua, Henan Hebi Baoma, and Zhejiang liansheng have got test results for their pilot respectively. Also, several commercial CTMEG projects are under planning and construction.
According to NDRC’s Coal Deep Processing Demonstration Projects Plan (Draft), by 2015, basically, China will grasp the technologies of 200 to 300 kt of
CTMEG, as well as the capabilities of engineering and key equipment manufacture.
The 3rd Coal to MEG Conference 2012 will be held in March, 2012 in Shanghai, China. The upcoming event will focus on PET & MEG industry outlook; Operation Data & Summary of Demonstration Project; CTMEG New Projects & Planning; Coal-to-MEG Key Processes & Innovations; Outlook of Coal-to-MEG & Coal based PET; as well as the CTMEG product quality and application outlook etc.
