Are you referring to Doren’s MTP? That’s right, it uses the Shell approach: 3 units, over 100 meters tall – huge! The launch was originally announced to be this year, but I haven’t heard any specific dates mentioned recently.
Weren’t they stopped? Has it started again?
It hasn’t stopped; the authorities require it to be put into operation this year, but winter is approaching soon, so it’s likely to be difficult.
Oh, it uses foreign technology all the time
It will go into operation this year; gasification is expected to take place in October.
Just for fun: The Datang Coal Chemical Project will come online next year. 2009-3-5 14:18:26 International Coal Network. Comments from netizens: The general manager of Datang Group, the parent company of Datang Power Generation, said that it is expected that over 13 million kilowatts of power generation capacity will come online this year； By the end of the year, the total installed capacity will reach over 90 million kilowatts. This year, the group will limit investment in thermal power generation, and accelerate the construction of renewable energy projects such as hydroelectric and wind power; it is also confident in the profitability of coal chemical projects. The aforementioned individual said that the coal chemical projects under the group are expected to come online next year. According to preliminary internal calculations, the project can remain profitable at an international oil price of $50 per barrel. Although current U.S. crude oil futures are just over $40, he is confident in a rebound in oil prices, believing that they will rise again within half a year. The same source added that electricity supply in the mainland is currently relatively abundant, but demand and supply follow cyclical patterns; moreover, due to the long time required to build power generation units, it is difficult to adjust their construction plans in response to short-term changes in demand and supply.
I heard it’s towards the end of September, not sure though; there are too many constraints on starting up chemical production processes, with all the steps being closely interconnected.
