Recently, the **Energy Bureau officially issued the ‘13th Five-Year Plan’ for Demonstrating Advanced Coal Processing Industries**. It is reported that this plan is one of the fourteen specific plans under the **13th Five-Year Energy Plan**, and it represents the first industry plan at the **level for the deep processing of coal. It holds great significance as a guiding document for the development of China’s modern coal chemical industry. The \"13th Five-Year Plan for Demonstrating the Advanced Processing Industry of Coal\" predicts that by 2020, the production capacity for coal-to-oil will be 13 million tons per year, the production capacity for coal-to-natural gas will be 17 billion cubic meters per year, and the production capacity for the selective utilization of low-grade coal will be 15 million tons per year (in terms of coal processing volume). The \"13th Five-Year Plan for Demonstrating the Advanced Processing Industry of Coal\" sets minimum benchmark values for the comprehensive energy consumption per unit of product, the coal consumption as raw material, and the fresh water consumption in coal-to-oil and coal-to-natural gas processes, with efforts to achieve higher advanced levels. http://img.yf116.cn/image/img/20170227/101963714656.jpg The Plan also specifies specific new projects and demonstration tasks related to coal-to-oil production, coal-to-natural gas conversion, and the differentiated utilization of low-grade coal. Coal-to-oil new projects: Construct the Lu’an Changzhi, Yitai Ili, Yitai Ordos, and Guizhou Yufu Bijie (Nayong) coal-to-oil demonstration projects. http://img.yf116.cn/image/img/20170227/101823708249.jpg Reserve projects: subsequent projects for the first phase of Shaanxi Future Yulin coal indirect liquefaction, Yitai Ganquanbao, Ningmei Phase II, and other coal-to-oil projects. Coal-to-natural gas new projects: Construction of Su New Energy and Feng, Beikong Ordos, Shanxi Datong, Xinjian Ili, and Anhui Energy Huainan coal-to-natural gas demonstration projects. http://img.yf116.cn/image/img/20170227/102022372228.jpg Reserve projects: New coal-to-natural gas projects to be established in Zhundong, western Inner Mongolia (including Tianjin Bohua and Guocu Energy), eastern Inner Mongolia (Xingan League and Yimin), Yulin in Shaanxi, Wu’an Xinfeng, Hubei Energy, Anhui Jingwan Anqing, etc. Strict control is exercised over the adjustment of reserve projects to new construction projects, with the capacity for new projects in Zhundong, western Inner Mongolia, eastern Inner Mongolia, and northern Shaanxi all kept within 4 billion cubic meters per year. Differentiated utilization of low-grade coal – New projects: Establish demonstration projects for the differentiated utilization of low-grade coal at Jingneng Ximeng, Shanxi Coal Chemical Yulin, Yanchang Petroleum Yulin, Shaanxi Longcheng, and Hulunbuir Shengshan. http://img.yf116.cn/image/img/20170227/102193726938.jpg Reserve projects include: Yanchang Petroleum’s coal-based olefin and alcohol co-production project, Yangquan Coal Group’s multi-product production via the selective utilization of low-grade coal in northern Shanxi, Jingneng’s comprehensive utilization of coal at Hami, Xinjiang Chang’an Energy’s selective utilization of coal in Tacheng, Huaben’s multi-product production through the co-gasification of coal and biomass in Shuangyashan, and Hunchun Mining’s selective and graded utilization of low-grade coal. **The Energy Bureau assigned Shenhua Group as the lead entity for planning formulation, and organized China Petrochemical Corporation, the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation, the Petroleum and Chemical Industry Planning Institute, the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Environmental Impact Assessment Center of the Ministry of Environmental Protection to jointly carry out research on 7 preliminary topics and the work related to planning formulation.
