Methanol from coal, coal consumption, excluding fuel coal
Thread Content
I wonder what the coal consumption is for producing methanol from coal? Please feel free to participate

It then depends on what kind of coal you are using and what gasification method is employed. Bituminous coal, lignite, or brown coal, blue carbon? . . Fixed-bed gas generation, or Shell, Lurgi, Texaco, ash fusion, and Endler furnaces. . . . There’s a big difference.

Topic: Feasibility of constructing a million-ton-scale olefin production facility using methanol (purchased from outside) in the industrial development zone along the river in central Jiangsu Province (this zone lacks a gas supply for its long-term development). Background: Over the past 8 years, methanol prices have been high and domestic methanol production has been in excess (due to imports from the Middle East as well); the Shenhua methanol-to-olefins pilot project began trial production at the end of 2009； In this development zone, production facilities with capacities of 300,000 to 600,000 tons each have been built for downstream products of ethylene and propylene, such as vinyl chloride, polyvinyl chloride, and styrene ； Discussion: What is the return on investment for producing olefins from methanol alone? What possible investment entities could there be?
