The 2nd China Coal to Olefins Conference will be held in Beijing

In 2009, China 's ethylene production is about 10.5 million tons. Ethylene, propylene monomer as well as the derivatives market is still an enormous gap. Coal-to-olefins (CTO) is seemed as very competitive projects. By the end of 2010, three world scale coal-to-olefin projects (Shenhua Baotou, Datang Duolun and Shenhua Ningxia Coal) will start up in China .

The technology innovation changes the petrochemical industry. Several energy & chemical giants triggered the raw materials diversification.
Sinopec Zhongyuan Petrochemical （中原石化）planned to change ethylene feedstock to methanol from naphtha in Puyang , Henan, and Sinopec also planned a 1.8 Mt/a Methanol to 600 kt/a Olefins (MTO) project in Hebi 濮陽市, Henan .
Huaneng Group （中国華能集団）started the feasibility study for CTO projects in inner Mongolia and Ningxia.
Dow and Shenhua has completed the pre-feasibility study for jv project in Yulin , Shaanxi .
Total has confirmed the successful operation of its MTO+OCP demonstration program and Samples of propylene made from methanol polymerized successfully into polypropylene. Total also has announced to invest Coal based Polyolefin project in China.
Ningbo Heyuan has launched the MTO project by imported Methanol as feedstock in Ningbo Chemical Industrial Zone , Zhejiang Province.

Associates with the strategic cooperator Total Petrochemicals, ASIACHEM Consulting will organize the 2nd COAL-TO-OLEFINS CONFERENCE on Nov. 22-23, 2010 in Beijing , China .

The upcoming event will focus on the CTO industrial policies in China , the competitiveness analysis between naphtha crackers and CTO, the coal-to-olefins and derivatives layout, the feasibility of out-purchasing methanol and building MTO projects in the coastal chemical parks.

The featured topics as follows
1. Supply And Demand of Light Olefins in Mid-East, China & rest of Asia ,
2. Industrial Policy & layout planning of Coal to Olefins in China
3. Technologies & Economics of Oil/Natural Gas/Coal based Olefins
4. Coal to Olefins Investment Plan of Multinationals
5. Updates of Ongoing Coal-to-Olefins Projects in China
6. Projects of Coal based Methanol and Methanol to Olefins
7. Methanol to Olefins Technologies & Industrialization
8. Technologies of Gasification, Methanol Synthesis and Olefins Separation
9. Polyolefin Technology and Plant Operation
10. Environmental, Water Impacts & Solutions

The 2nd Coal to MEG Conference will be held in Hangzhou , China

In 2010, stimulated by textile & chemical fibers industry, the both production & consumption of PET greatly increased. In 2010, there is 4.09 Mt/a new PET capacity started up in China . The development of polyester industry brought the sustained growth in consumption of MEG.

According to the data from ASIACHEM, in 2010, the output of PET in China was 22.67 Mt and the consumption of MEG was 7.71 Mt. In 2010, driven by the expansion of PET production, the MEG import increased to 6.64 Mt in 2010 from the 5.82 Mt in 2009, showing a growth of 14% year on year. It is estimated that China ’s MEG import will over 7 Mt in 2011.

According to the data from ASIACHEM, by the end of 2010, China ’s total MEG capacity is around 4 Mt/a, which including the 150 kt/a Coal to MEG capacity of Tongliao GEM Chemical. In 2011, there is not new added petrochemical route based MEG capacity. And the new added coal based MEG capacity is 50 kt/a only, which is invested by Hualu-Hengsheng and is expected to start up in H2 2011.

As one of the five industrial demonstrations of modern coal chemical industry, the Coal to MEG was listed in the China State Petrochemical Stimulus Package in 2009. Due to the large market, good profit outlook while lower investment requirements, Coal to MEG has attracted many domestic research institutions and investors. However, so far, there is not Coal to MEG plant in commercial operation, the technologies & economics of Coal to MEG still need to be proven.

The 2nd Coal to MEG Conference will be held in May 27-29, 2011 in Hangzhou , China . The upcoming event will focus on PET & MEG industry outlook; competitiveness of different feedstock based MEG; Coal-to-MEG R&D and pilot updates; Coal-to-MEG projects & planning; as well as the key process & innovation etc.

The "6th China CTL & CoalChem Forum" will be held in Inner Mongolia

In 2010, China 's crude oil import is around 240 million ton; the foreign dependence is more than 55%. And since 2011, the international oil prices stabilized at 100 USD/bbl, which provides good opportunities for the development of coal chemical industry, and then to realize the supplement and partial substitute for oil resources.

As some coal chemical demonstration projects are long-term and stable operating, the technologies and economics have been proven. During 2011-2015 (the 12th FYP of China), the coal chemical industry will enter a new development stage, which will also face new challenges: 1.How to further optimize the demonstration projects & technology;
2.How to further improve the efficiency of coal conversion;
3.How to further improve water efficiency & reduce carbon emissions;

Under this background, ASIACHEM will organize the "6th China CTL & CoalChem Forum" will be held in July 28-30 2011 in Hohhot , Inner Mongolia . The upcoming event will focus on the coal chemical opportunities and challenges; and the delegates will have chance to visit the important Coal Chemical Park and projects in Ordos, Inner Mongolia .
