The only company abroad that truly carries out large-scale coal-to-oil production is SASOL; SASOL focuses solely on converting coal and natural gas into oil, and does not engage in coal-to-olefins production. There are no large-scale coal-to-olefins projects abroad; there are some companies that possess the relevant technology, such as UOP/Lurgi, but no large-scale facilities exist overseas. Lurgi has two such facilities in China. There are also some large companies abroad that produce oil from natural gas, such as Shell, Exxon-Mobil, BP, etc.

Indeed, Sasol is the only company that produces oil from coal on a large scale, but since the 1990s, both Sasol and Shell have been engaged in natural gas liquefaction. Sasol’s total production capacity has reached 9 million tons; there are too many projects to list them all. Shell’s GTL in Malaysia has a capacity of 580,000 tons, while the GTL project under construction in Qatar is planned to have a capacity of 6.5 million tons. The main processes for producing olefins are UOP’s MTO in the United States and Lurgi’s MTP in Germany
There is another company in South Africa called PETROL SA that is also engaged in GTL
““The main methods for producing olefins are UOP’s MTO in the United States and Lurgi’s MTP in Germany.” Do these two companies, UOP and Lurgi, only transfer technology rather than investing in setting up factories in China?
Our German company EDL possesses relevant coal-to-oil technology. If you’re interested, feel free to contact me! stevenli0322@yahoo. com. cn
