**Regulating and restricting investment in coal chemical industry – the main product development trends in this sector at present.
Thread Content
Given the current shortage of coal resources in our country, and considering our existing demand for coal, as well as the limited demand from the coal chemical industry, there is still a shortage of coal products. If the coal supply remains tight and the coal chemical industry is developed on a large scale, this will only exacerbate the shortage of coal products, further increasing the gap in coal supply. Therefore, as reported in the news yesterday, the Energy Administration has issued restrictions on the development of certain sub-products related to coal chemistry, such as coal-based methanol and dimethyl ether. Therefore, under these circumstances, I would like to know: **the regulations and restrictions on investment in the coal chemical industry, as well as the current development trends of its main products. I hope everyone can give more suggestions.
At the executive meeting of the State Council held on the 19th, the \"Plan for the Adjustment and Revitalization of the Light Industry and Petrochemical Industries\" was reviewed and approved in principle. It calls for halting the approval of coal chemical projects that merely aim to increase production capacity, such as those related to coke and calcium carbide, in order to put a stop to the uncontrolled expansion of this industry. Experts suggest: apart from methanol and dimethyl ether, what other coal chemical projects should be halted?
