The prospects of coal-to-oil conversion

Let’s discuss what the prospects are for coal-to-oil production, what the main bottlenecks are, and whether it is environmentally friendly. Another point is the economic benefits; when we went to Yitai for an investigation, the factory said it wasn’t making any profits. . Note # ) # # , . hcbbs
It’s an old topic again. I believe the main bottlenecks lie in various aspects: engineering and technical issues, problems with equipment, and issues related to catalysts. All these factors result in poor yields for C5+, as well as a low effective utilization rate of coal. Moreover, at present this is only at the industrial demonstration stage (that’s the case for indirect liquefaction, right?), and it’s uncertain whether commercial operation will be possible. Since **support is provided in all cases, environmental protection should not be a major issue; it are the minor flaws in various technologies that prevent the overall technology from meeting standards, and moreover, high coal prices make it impossible to make a profit. Only when coal prices fall and oil prices rise can things improve. In the long term, it still has prospects and represents a **strategic technological reserve**
