Insight China

Chinese Methanol Capacity May Approach 50Mt/a by 2015

News from China Nitro Fertilizer Industry Association (CNFIA) reported on November 15th 2010 that CNFIA has accomplished the preparation of “Chinese Methanol Industry 12-5 years (2011-2015) Developing Program” (Draft). According to the program to be published in near future, the industry will control nationwide methanol capacity under 50Mt/a by 2015 and to eliminate 3~5Mt/a of backward capacity in the 12-5 period to achieve the capacity control target. The program explicitly stated that by 2015 nationwide methanol capacity shall be controlled under 50Mt/a and the number of methanol producers under 150. The program also plans to form 20 large size methanol enterprise groups of core competition ability and the output from large size methanol plants shall account for over 75% of the total. Percentage of methanol capacity based on pressurized continuous gasification process shall be increased from the current 24% up to 50% or even higher, whilst the capacity based on anthracite shall be reduced from 37.8% to 20%, gas-based capacity from 28.6% to 15%, and in contrast, percentage of the capacity based on recovered coking gas shall be increased from 10% to at least 15%. The program predicted that the growth of methanol demand by Chinese economy during 12-5 period will slow down significantly to an annual rate of around 15%, and the apparent consumption may reach 40Mt/a by the year of 2015.

Why DME Projects Switch to Coal-To-Olefins?

Constrained by national standards, state industrial policies and market influences, DME industry is now trapped in business difficulty and many enterprises are planning to change their original product scheme from coal-to-DME to Coal-To-Olefins (CTO). In Q4 2010, the global first DMTO-II technology licensing agreement was signed in Beijing between Shaanxi Pucheng Clean Energy Chemical Co Ltd, Shaanxi Coal & Chemical Industry Group, Dalian Research Institute of Chemical Physics under Chinese Academy of Sciences and Sinopec Luoyang Petrochemical Engineering Corp Ltd. This is the first official published project changing from DME to DMTO (a Methanol to Olefins technology developed by DICP-CAS). Also reported is that a previously announced demonstration project, Zhongtian Hechuang Energy Co Ltd 4.2Mt/a coal-to-methanol & 3Mt/a DME complex, jointly invested by China National Coal Group Corp, Sinopec, Shanghai Shenergy (Group) Co Ltd and Inner Mongolia Manshi Coal Group Co Ltd, has submitted application to NDRC, requesting to

Issue Nov. 2010


change the construction of 3Mt/a DME capacity into a new plan of 1.5Mt/a of MTO (methanol-to-olefins) and downstream processing plants. If NDRC approval is granted, this will become the largest reprogrammed MTO in China. Industrial analysts assumed four reasons for the reprogramming. First, state authority has changed the position of DME product from formerly defined “clean substitute fuel” to a “composite fuel”, meaning the change of governmental attitude and policy towards DME. Publication of national standard “DME for Town Gas Use” has applied more regulation over DME and objectively limited development of the industry. Second, a surplus of refinery capacity is for certain to appear in China following the continuing expansion. If calculating by a rate of 5% LPG yield, China will produce additional 2Mt or more LPG every year between 2010 and 2012, plus the increase of domestic natural gas, CBM (coal bed methane) as well as rush in of imported natural gas and LNG, all are painting a dark picture for the foreground of Chinese DME industry. Third, successful construction and operation of Baotou DMTO demonstration unit, and the emerging DMTO-II commercial process of more advanced technology, lower utility consumption and general cost, have endowed CTO project with stronger power in competition. And the last, Chinese olefin market is of severe shortage in supply, whilst olefin products own a broad downstream market, the product chains are easier to extend and thereby reserving greater space for the producers to develop. Furthermore, olefin polymerized products like polypropylene and polyethylene etc are solid particles, much easier and safer to ship across long distance than DME defined as a liquid hazardous chemical, and cost in much lower freight rate, too.

Policies & Markets

China Methanol Producers Appealing for Stronger Anti-Dumping

On behalf of domestic methanol producers, China Nitro Fertilizer Industry Association submitted a “Report on the Preliminary Arbitration Award for the Case of Methanol Anti-Dumping” to the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) on November 15th 2010. As pointed in the report, the preliminary arbitration published by MOFCOM on October 25th is showing rather a bigger difference from the calculation by applying producers based on their respectively acquired data and, therefore, not only unable to provide effective protection for Chinese methanol industry and related sectors, what is even worse that it may allow Saudi Arabia and other Middle East Countries to dump more

Issue Nov. 2010


products and cause severer damage to China and Chinese methanol and related industries. The report is appealing the investigator to further check the material submitted by the defendant enterprises and levy anti-dumping penalty based on the actual breadth of foreign dumping in the agency’s final decision. MOFCOM is also requested to negotiate with the governments of Iran, Saudi Arabia, Oman and other Middle East countries, to urge their methanol producers normalizing the export to China and stopping dumping behavior, releasing Chinese counterparties from the damage caused by dumping methanol import. Reporter was told that MOFCOM received application from 14 Chinese methanol producers including Shanghai Coking Co Ltd, and Inner Mongolia Yuanxing Energy Corp. etc and started anti-dumping investigation against the methanol imports from Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand and Saudi Arabia since June 24th of 2009. The ministry published a preliminary arbitration award, as MOFCOM #71 [2010] Announcement, on the anti-dumping case and decided to levy 9.3% - 37.5% tariff on the methanol imported from Indonesia, Malaysia and New Zealand, but Saudi Arabian product is exempted from the list the anti-dumping investigation against Saudi originated methanol is to be terminated accordingly.

Companies & Projects

Sinopec to Build SNG Pipeline from Xinjiang to Zhejiang

Reporter was told on November 26th 2010 that the authority of Xinjiang Autonomous Region recently signed a framework agreement with Sinopec and Zhejiang Provincial Government, to build a pipeline from Xinjiang to Zhejiang specific for the use of SNG (coal-based synthetic natural gas) transferring. There are 10 SNG projects in Xinjiang now under planning, with 34.9bnNm3/a of totalized-up nameplate capacity and CNY183.1bn of budgeted capital. 2 of them have obtained approval and/or been registered. However a bottleneck common to all these projects is how to transfer the produced SNG up to the terminal market. All the West-to-East Pipelines from No.1 to No.4, whether existing or currently under construction/planning, are originally designed for the shipping of oil field gas or imported natural gas, none is planned specifically for SNG use. In future, SNG produced from Zhundong Base will enter inland provinces mainly through two channels, one is the eastbound pipe network, and the other is to construct specific use SNG pipeline. Currently all the West-to-East Pipelines passing through Xinjiang are under control by PetroChina. Earlier this year during the Xinjiang Working Conference held by the top Chinese authority in May, the three parties of Xinjiang, Zhejiang and Sinopec began discussion on the project. National Development & Reform Commission (NDRC) and Sinopec recently paid an on-purpose visit to Xinjiang for the issue. Up to the date, Xinjiang, Zhejiang and Sinopec jointly submit the project proposal to NDRC and wish to list the project in

Company Report

The profile and SWOT analysis of ChinaCoal

ChinaCoal

Company Profile 1. China National Coal Group Corp. (ChinaCoal) is a major state-owned coal company, it is the

former China Coal Import & Export Corp. (CCIEC) founded in 1982. In 2003, ChinaCoal was founded by the merge of CCIEC and China Coal Construction Corp.

2. As of Dec. 31, 2009, the total assets of ChinaCoal reached RMB 147.6 billion and total workforce reached 121,000. The total coal reserves reached 45 billion ton and coal production capacity over 160 million ton/a.

3. In 2009, ChinaCoal produced 125 Mt coal. The total revenue is RMB 69.2 billion and profit is 10.3 billion RMB.

Contact Information Address: No.1, Huangsi Avenue, Beijing, China PostCode 100120 Tel: 86-10-82256688 Fax: 86-10-82256484 http://www.chinacoal.com/ Technology Updates

Issue Nov. 2010


ChinaCoal is a traditional coal trader and producer, and has strong advantages of coal mine machine manufacturing, but the company has no technologies reserves in coal chemical industry.

Projects & Activities 1. A 4.2 Mt Methanol and 3 Mt DME projects are planned in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, which

named as Zhongtian Hechuang, is a jointly invested by Sinopec, ChinaCoal, Shanghai Shenergy, and Inner Mongolia Manshi Group. ChinaCoal has 37.5% shares within it. This proposed project will integrated with 25 Mt/a Coal Mine, a 600 MW heat-power plant, and a 900 km pipeline from Ordos, Inner Mongolia to Jintang Port, Tangshan, Hebei Province. All these projects have total investment of 43 billion RMB and hold a announcement ceremony in Sep. 2008.

2. Orginally, ChinaCoal planned a 1.8 Mt methanol and 600,000 t/a olefins project – with nearing 20 billion RMB investment in Heilongjiang Province. But the project is shelved as the uncertain expected return; maybe an alternative will be announced in the future.

3. A 250,000 t/a methanol project has been startup in Q1 2009-using the ECUST process. 4. A off-gas based 300,000 t/a methanol project will be build in Lingshi, Shanxi Province, the

feedstock will be supplied by the ChinaCoal Jiuxin Company. 5. ChinaCoal and Shaanxi Yanchang Petroleum Group set up a jv – Shaanxi Yanchang

ChinaCoal Yulin Energy & Chemical Company, which will conduct the Oil, Gas, Coal, Salt complex in Yulin, Shaanxi.

SWOT Analysis Strengths 1． State-owned major company with advantages

in project approval and coal resources. 2． Associate with Sinopec, ChinaCoal can use

the advantages of chemical production and distribution.

Weaknesses 1． Exempt the coking, ChinaCoal is lake of

technology, experience and talent resources in Coal Chemical industry.

2． The Zhongtian Hechuang Project must integrate a pipeline to transport methanol or DME, or the logistics cost for DME is huge. So, the company my change the products route to olefins from DME.

Opportunities 1． The policies and fund support from central

government 2． The increasing demand of chemicals & oil

products in China

Threats 3． The fluctuation of international oil price. 4． The competition from other coal chemical

projects.

Technology & Innovation

Shenhua Direct CTL Process Patented in 5 Countries

Shenhua Group received a notification from Canadian Patent Bureau in Q4 2010, to grant the patent right for its “A Method of Direct Coal Liquefaction”. So far the patent application has been granted in 5 the countries including Russia, Ukraine, Australia, USA and Canada. Up to December 2010, Shenhua has applied 46 patents in the field of direct

Issue Nov. 2010


CTL process, 27 amongst them have been granted with the right including 17 invention patents. The patent right granted by 5 countries on “A Method of Direct Coal Liquefaction” positioned Shenhua as the leader in field of direct CTL R&D. As reported by an officer of Shenhua Group at the end of October 2010, Shenhua Ordos CTL demonstration unit of the direct process has reached the operating load rate of 2,500 t/d. Cumulative operation time has exceeded 6000h with once operating continuously for more than 2000h, showing the plant’s capability of long-period steady operation.

Huating Coal Underground Gasification Process Passed Appraisal

On November 22nd 2010, the Science & Technology Department of Gansu Provincial Government organized experts and specialists in the aspects of geological exploration and coal mining production etc, to carry out field exploration and technology appraisal on the research project of “Industrial Test & Research for Difficult Accessible Coal Underground Gasification (by Well Guidance & Control) and Low-Carbon Power Generation”. Construction of the project was started in April 2009 and, as installation of various equipment pieces was accomplished in April this year, the project began ignition of the gasification furnace and trial running of the generator package. So far stable operation has been maintained for individual subsystems. The project is first in China to use cryogenic air separation and oxygen producing machinery in underground gasification process. The produced gas is of middle heat value around 9.0MJ/Nm3 or higher, and can be used for coal-based natural gas production or low-carbon content gas fueled power generation. It was shown by result of the industrial test that the process is quite valuable in wide applications for exploitation of coal resources difficult to access like those in older or abandoned mine wells.

ICC-CAS Co-base F-T CTL Technology Passed Appraisal

On November 15th 2010, the 10kt/a size cobalt (Co)-base catalytic CTL process technology (fixed bed reactor) and industrial test achievement, jointly accomplished by Shanxi Institute of Coal Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences (ICC-CAS) and Shanxi Lu’an Mining (Group) Company passed an expert appraisal organized by the Hi-Tech Bureau of Chinese Academy of Sciences. Breakthrough progresses of the research project were achieved after years of efforts and verified by the first Co catalytic CTL demonstration unit in China. In the test of industrial scale, catalyst was kept under 2000h of steady operation, showing 85% of CO conversion and over 85% of C5+ yield. This laid a foundation for industrial demonstration of 50 – 100kt/a single unit capacity. Back to Content
