“The substitution effect of "coal-to-methanol"

Thread Content

my country’s energy structure is dominated by coal.* * The introduction of policies to restrict the mining of high-sulfur coal has played a positive role in reducing sulfur dioxide emissions in the near future. However, since high-sulfur coal is also an important fossil energy, how to rationally develop and utilize it has become one of the problems that needs to be solved under high oil prices. At present, the industrial exploration of using high-sulfur coal to produce methanol is being carried out in some places in my country, which shows broad prospects for the development and utilization of high-sulfur coal in my country. Coal-to-methanol is the best choice to replace oil. In recent years, my country's energy problems have become increasingly prominent. In 2007, my country imported 180 million tons of oil, and its dependence on foreign oil reached 45%. my country's strategic security situation is very severe. therefore * * We attach great importance to the development of the coal chemical industry and include it as a strategic priority for my country's medium- and long-term energy development. at present, * * Methanol gasoline standards for vehicles are about to be released. Methanol is not only an important basic organic chemical raw material, but also an important clean fuel that can replace petroleum. From the perspective of the development of the automobile industry, the number of automobiles in my country is expected to reach 150 million by 2020, which will put my country under huge pressure on energy supply. Experts believe that my country should develop clean automotive fuels using high-sulfur coal to produce methanol, dimethyl ether, and methanol-reformed hydrogen-rich gas (referred to as alcohol-ether hydrogen) to replace oil shortages and follow a path of automobile development with Chinese resource characteristics. 　　At present, my country's proven reserves of coal resources are 246 billion tons, of which the proven reserves of high-sulfur coal resources reach 62 billion tons, accounting for about 1/4 of the total coal reserves. As a kind of coal with special properties, high-sulfur coal has huge potential development value. High-sulfur coal in my country is mainly distributed in the southern region with less coal resources, and is also distributed to varying degrees in the middle and lower coal seams of northern coal mines. Among them, the high-sulfur coal reserves in Yankuang, Shandong are about 1 billion tons. 　　Methanol is a basic chemical product widely used in chemical industry, medicine, textile, national defense and other fields. Due to the cleanliness and economy of methanol fuel, "coal-to-methanol" is currently the best choice to solve the problem of vehicle fuel substitution in my country. The demand for methanol due to my country's sustained high economic growth has remained at 20% year after year. In 2007, my country's methanol consumption was more than 9 million tons, of which imports remained stable at around 1.4 million tons. In particular, the good combustion properties of methanol have led many domestic units to develop mixed fuels containing 15% to 85% methanol. As the world's demand for methanol continues to increase, competition in methanol production has shifted to regions with lower raw material prices. In recent years, developed * * The pace of shifting the world's methanol production centers to South America, Saudi Arabia, Iran and China has been accelerated. 　　At present, my country has started to use methanol fuel * * Standard preparation plan, first preparing denatured fuel methanol, M85 and M15 high-proportion methanol gasoline * * standards to clear the way for methanol gasoline to enter the market. This is of great significance to changing my country's energy pattern of "more coal, poor oil, and less gas", vigorously developing a new coal chemical industry, using coal as raw material to replace petroleum to produce methanol clean fuel, reducing environmental pollution caused by coal burning, and reducing China's dependence on imported petroleum. Currently, the coal chemical industry is facing new market demands and development opportunities. 　　The construction of large-scale methanol production equipment using coal as raw material is in line with * * Industrial policy, energy and environmental protection policy. However, the use of coal to produce methanol will inevitably lead to a reduction in the primary energy structure, which risks replacing one wall with the other in terms of energy security. Using high-sulfur coal to produce methanol avoids this problem. Yankuang Group is the first domestic company to successfully develop a number of core technologies with independent intellectual property rights, including coal-water slurry gasification technology, pulverized coal pressurized gasification, low-pressure carbonyl acetic acid synthesis, indirect coal liquefaction, and low calorific value sulfurized bed combustion power generation. It has become the only company in the world that possesses both pulverized coal gasification and coal-water slurry pressurized gasification technologies. The basic raw material for all this is high-sulfur coal. “"Coal-to-methanol" must have an industrial scale. The country's largest "coal-to-methanol" unit with an annual output of 500,000 tons of high-sulfur coal as raw material can digest 1 million tons of high-sulfur coal a year and reduce emissions of more than 40,000 tons of sulfur dioxide smoke. It can be said that it has an economic scale and has the conditions for vigorous promotion. 　　Currently, one ton of methanol can be produced for every two tons of high-sulfur coal. Through the "coal-to-methanol" project, high-sulfur coal can be converted into methanol with a purity of 99.999%. It is understood that methanol can currently be sold for 2,000 yuan/ton to 3,300 yuan/ton. ； Sulfur can be sold for 3,600 yuan/ton to 3,700 yuan/ton. Due to the continuous expansion of production capacity, high-sulfur coal has risen to 650 yuan/ton. However, the profit is still quite generous. 　　my country has carried out research on replacing petroleum with coal chemical industry for more than 20 years, and relevant research work is being carried out in Shanxi, Shandong, Henan and other places. 50% of my country's coal resources are high-sulfur coal. Chongqing, Guizhou and other provinces and cities suffer from acid rain, which is the result of direct combustion of high-sulfur coal. High-sulfur coal is the best raw material for producing petroleum substitutes, and has the highest utilization rate in the production of methanol and dimethyl ether. my country has independently developed a new methanol-making process from high-sulfur coal with its own characteristics and an annual output of 600,000 tons, which has considerable economic scale. The large-scale development of high-sulfur coal will * * To extend the period of coal mining in my country, it is more important to reduce my country's dependence on imported oil and improve * * strategic security is a policy that benefits the country and the people. 　　Therefore, "coal-to-methanol" is the best choice to replace petroleum.
