The larger ones are Shenhua Group and Yankuang Group; as for the smaller ones, I’m not very sure
Indirect liquefaction: Shanxi Lu’an Group and Inner Mongolia Yitai Group have adopted the slurry bed technology developed by the Shanxi Institute of Coal Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, to build a demonstration plant with a capacity of 160,000 tons; oil production is scheduled to begin during trials in August 2008. The Lu’an coal-to-oil demonstration plant uses the Lurgi pressurized gasification technology to produce syngas, and recovers CO2 to produce urea; the Yitai demonstration plant employs the Texaco gasification technology to produce syngas. The main products manufactured at the two demonstration plants are diesel ； Yankuang Group’s proprietary low-temperature Fischer-Tropsch synthesis technology will be used to establish a 1-million-ton indirect liquefaction facility in the Yulin area of Shaanxi. Direct liquefaction: Shenhua Group has now completed 98% of the work related to coal-to-oil production. At this stage, the main focus is on addressing the issues associated with Shell’s gasification process. The Shenhua coal-to-oil project combines direct liquefaction and indirect liquefaction, thereby overcoming the shortcomings of each of these two liquefaction techniques. It is more conducive to improving efficiency.
