National Development and Reform Commission suspends approval of the world's largest coal chemical project and has to wait for two years

Economic Observer Network reported that Dow Chemical and Shenhua Group in the United States are preparing to build the world’s largest coal chemical project, but* * The National Development and Reform Commission said last year that it would suspend approval of coal liquefaction projects and clean up projects under construction, making the industry worried about the prospects of the cooperation project. However, Mak Kin-ming, president of Dow Chemical Asia Pacific and Greater China, recently told a reporter from the Morning Post that the company’s cooperation with Shenhua Group is progressing steadily and it is expected that the feasibility study will be completed within two years and a formal report will be submitted at that time. * * Approved by the National Development and Reform Commission. Last July, * * The National Development and Reform Commission issued a document requiring that for coal liquefaction projects, * * Before the preparation of the coal liquefaction development plan is completed, the investment authorities at all levels should suspend approval. At the same time, we will clean up the projects planned and under construction and make rectifications as soon as possible. The National Development and Reform Commission stated that coal liquefaction is still in the demonstration stage and should be promoted after successful experience is obtained. “At present, domestic coal liquefaction technology is not mature and lacks technical strength and professional technicians. There are no large-scale coal liquefaction projects in the world, so China * * A moratorium on such construction makes sense. ”Mai Jianming told the Morning Post reporter. He revealed that the coal chemical project between Dow Chemical and Shenhua is still in the feasibility study stage. Both parties have invested a lot of manpower, material resources, and funds. Before signing the feasibility study agreement in May this year, Dow also conducted a two-year pre-feasibility study with Shenhua Group, which shows that both parties are serious about this issue and will not be ignored. * * Stop. The cooperation project between Dow Chemical and Shenhua Group is the largest energy and chemical project in the world to date. It is expected to invest 9 billion yuan in the first phase. The construction site is initially selected in Yulin, Shaanxi. The project will use "clean coal" technology to convert coal into methanol to produce ethylene and propylene. Dow Chemical stated that it will form a new company with Shenhua Group to operate the project, with both parties holding 50% of the shares. The coal chemical project cooperating between Dow Chemical and Shenhua Group has also received strong support from Shaanxi Province. Previously, senior officials from Shaanxi Province told the media that they would provide all-round services and support for project advancement to help the project be completed as soon as possible and generate benefits.

Yes, the coal chemical industry is overheated and should be regulated.
Multinational giants have transferred a large number of highly polluting and energy-intensive industries to China. The coal chemical industry emits large amounts of carbon dioxide. Faced with the increasingly severe problem of global warming, China may soon face high environmental costs.* * Similar projects must be strictly controlled.
For tomorrow’s blue sky and white clouds, support* * Regulation.
How can such projects be built in our country?
The deified flower is* * Don’t be afraid if you lose your money, alas, * * Money, people’s money, cherish it.
Producing one ton of oil requires more than ten times the amount of water.* * It should be taken care of! ! !
Rare things are valuable, too much is worthless. In the future, it will cause losses to state-owned property. The materials used to build so many coal chemical industries are* * With so much money, how can one enterprise build a coal chemical industry with huge investment!
No wonder I thought coal chemical industry would be good.
Coal chemical industry is not a factory, but an industrial chain. The cost of raw materials, water consumption, energy consumption, investment and environmental costs are astronomical. It cannot be realized by just one region. Now every region is planning on its own. It is simply difficult for some regions to support such a large project alone. Instead of allowing it to be built into an unqualified industry, it is better to stop it now.* * The losses will be less. At the same time, more people need to invest in the coal chemical industry so that this industry not only has * * Economic support and management by people with professional knowledge can ensure the healthy development of this industry.
Coal chemical industry is a high water consumption industry. Development must be based on the amount of water, and on the premise of not competing with farmers, people, and ecology for water, the construction of coal chemical projects in water-scarce areas must be strictly controlled. Many areas in Yulin, Shaanxi Province are seriously short of water, and many large-scale coal chemical projects have been deployed. Coal resources are very abundant, but at least the water resources necessary to develop coal chemical projects are insufficient. * * It's the right thing to do! ~
The coal chemical industry must be unified across the country and distributed rationally, rather than rushing in all at once. We must be responsible for future generations and truly realize an environment-friendly and resource-saving society.
