What did Hui Neng do before? Build coal-to-natural gas there? Did that design institute handle the design? Thank you!

Hui Neng is a coal production enterprise that is carrying out a coal-to-natural gas project in Yijinhuoluo Banner, Ordos; the preliminary design for this project has been entrusted to Tianchen Engineering Company.

It’s indeed not easy to get approval from the National Development and Reform Commission, but coal-to-natural gas will definitely become popular

Yahuah Consulting News: Inner Mongolia HuiNeng’s coal-to-natural gas project approved by the **Development and Reform Commission. 2009-12-18 – Recently, Inner Mongolia HuiNeng’s coal-to-synthetic natural gas (SNG) project was approved by the **Development and Reform Commission, with the approval document numbered Fa Gai Neng Yuan [2009] 3066. This is the **first coal-to-natural gas project invested in by a private enterprise that has been approved by the National Development and Reform Commission. It is also the second large-scale coal-to-natural gas project to receive official approval from the commission, following the 4 billion cubic meters per year coal-to-natural gas project in Keshiketeng Banner, Inner Mongolia, operated by Datang.** The total investment in the project is 8.87 billion yuan; it is designed to produce 1.6 billion cubic meters of synthetic natural gas per year. The construction site is located in Yijinholuo Banner, Ordos City, Inner Mongolia. According to statistics from Yaha Consulting, there are around 15 coal-to-synthetic natural gas projects planned in China, some of which have already begun construction. It is estimated that by 2015, China will have a coal-to-natural gas production capacity of 20 billion cubic meters per year, accounting for about 10% of total consumption. Coal-based synthetic natural gas (SNG) is becoming a new focus in China’s coal chemical industry, and the first technical and economic seminar on coal-based synthetic natural gas will be held in Beijing from January 20-21, 2010. Yahua Consulting believes that the approval of two consecutive coal-to-natural gas projects reflects the **determination and confidence to steadily advance the demonstration of the coal-to-natural gas industry. By realizing the demonstration and commercial operation of coal-to-natural gas projects, a relatively inexpensive and reliable source of natural gas supply can be provided for the domestic market, which will also help enhance China’s bargaining power in the international market when importing natural gas. HuiNeng Group is a private enterprise based in Ordos, Inner Mongolia. In 2008, it produced and sold 15 million tons of coal, generating total sales revenue of 6.8 billion yuan. The coal production capacity has now reached 23 million tons per year; with an additional 8 million tons per year in construction, the capacity will soon reach 31 million tons per year. ASIACHEM Newsletter: Huineng receives NDRC approval for coal-to-SNG project 2009-12-18 Recently, Huineng Group has obtained approval from the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) for its coal-to-SNG (synthetic natural gas) project in Ordos, Inner Mongolia; the approval number is (2009) No. 3066. This is the first SNG project approved by the NDRC and funded by a private company, and it is also the second industrial project to receive such approval, following the Datang 4 billion Nm3/a SNG project in Hohhot County, Inner Mongolia. With a total investment of RMB 8.87 billion, the planned SNG production capacity is 1.6 billion Nm3 per year, and the project site is located in Yijinhuoluo County, Ordos, Inner Mongolia. According to data from ASIACHEM Consulting, there are approximately 15 coal-to-SNG projects under consideration in China. It is expected that by 2015, China will have a SNG production capacity of around 20 billion Nm3 per year, accounting for about 10% of the country’s total natural gas consumption at that time. Coal-to-SNG is emerging as a new focus area in China’s coal chemical industry. The First Coal-to-SNG Conference will be held in Beijing on January 20-21, 2010. ASIACHEM Consulting believes that the approval of these two coal-to-SNG projects reflects the government’s commitment to promoting the development of such projects. The development of coal-based SNG projects, both at the demonstration and commercial levels, will help provide a relatively cheap and reliable source of natural gas for the domestic market. It will also enhance China’s bargaining power when importing natural gas from overseas markets. Huineng Group is a private company based in Ordos, Inner Mongolia. In 2008, its coal production and sales volume reached 15 million tons, generating total sales of RMB 6.8 billion. The company’s current coal production capacity is 23 million tons per year, with another 800 million tons per year in construction; thus, its production capacity will reach 31 million tons per year in the near future.

Do you know whose technology HuiNeng uses?

HuiNeng’s project with an annual production capacity of 1.6 billion cubic meters of coal-to-natural gas has been approved by the **National Development and Reform Commission – congratulations to them!

There are many companies interested in pursuing coal-to-natural gas projects, so it’s a bit hard to understand why the Development and Reform Commission approved the HuiNeng project. Of course, congratulations are in order anyway.

Was the factory site chosen in that area of Yijinholo Banner? Where does the water source come from? Is it Yellow River water?

The factory is located in Beiniu Chuan, Yiqi; its water source is not from the Yellow River, but rather water obtained through interflow. Several reservoirs have been storing water there for many years. Discussions have just begun regarding HuiNeng’s technology: the coal slurry technology for gasification, with a choice between GE, multi-nozzle, and multi-component slurries
