Current progress of domestic coal-to-natural gas projects
Thread Content
To the best of my knowledge, the current domestic projects related to coal-based SNG include Datang International Keqi, Datang International Fuxin, Datang Huayin, Xinjiang HuiNeng; Shenhua is also carrying out preliminary feasibility studies. It seems that coal-to-natural gas is still quite popular in the country at present. What is the specific progress? Datang International started its operations in Keqi first; I’m not sure what’s going on there now.
The environmental impact assessment approval has been obtained, and construction will begin this year
Equipment procurement, ordering, and process design are currently being finalized
Is all of it technology introduced from American Plains Company?
At present, the project is progressing smoothly. The gasification process used is mature and suitable for processing lignite as well as for producing city gas; data on pressurized coal gasification along with low-temperature methanol washing purification technology are available； Technology needs to be introduced for the methanation unit.
