Market Research Report on China's Coal Chemical
Industry in 2006
Table of contents
Published: Jan 6th,2007
Introduction
In recent years, with the rising prices of crude oil and natural
gas, a shortage of oil & gas resources and the increasing oil
importation, the Chinese energy industry is focusing on
accelerating the development of the coal chemical industry.
Traditional coal chemical industries such as coking and coal
gasification ammonia synthesis maintain a rapid momentum. New
coal chemical technologies such as Coal liquefaction synthetic
oil, coal gasification synthetic alcohol ether and coal chemical
cogeneration are also under way. With the start-up of the
industrialization of the coal chemical industry, China is bound
to be the largest country in this field.
Being the focus of medium-and-long-term national energy
development strategy, the new coal chemical industry mainly
occupies itself with production of clean energy and substitutes
such as diesel oil, gasoline, aviation fuel, liquefied petroleum
gas, the raw material ethene and polypropylene, alternative
fuels (methyl alcohol, dimethyl aether) etc., being the new
emerging industry with the combination technologies applied in
energy resources and chemical engineering.
The coal chemical industry will play an important role in the
sustainable development of China's energy resources in the next
twenty years, which will reduce alleviation of environmental
pollution caused by coal burning as well as reduce dependence on
oil importation. In a word, there will be
great demand and opportunities in China's coal chemical
industry.
Currently, some domestic coal-mining enterprises and regions are
taking advantage of abundant resources to bring about great
economic returns and regard new coal chemical engineering as the
top priority of the local economy. Great efforts have been made
in the adjustment of the industrial
structure based on the coal chemical industry to move forward
along new industrialization route.
Generally, new coal chemical industry is its early stages, which
requires huge investments and involves precision technologies.
So, overall planning, technical studies, new techniques
development and systematic optimization are needed to coordinate
the development in coal,chemical, oil and electric power. In
this way, the need of a fast-growing national economy will be
met.
