[Ocean Chemical Industry Talk] Does Article 39 of the "Energy Law (Draft for Comments)" promote the development of coal chemical industry?
Thread Content
Section 2 Fossil Energy Article 37 [Fossil Energy Exploration] * * Strengthen the exploration of fossil energy sources such as coal, oil and natural gas, and implement rational development of fossil energy sources. Article 38 [Principles of Fossil Energy Development] The development, processing and conversion of coal, oil and natural gas should follow the principles of safety, green, intensive and efficient, and improve resource recovery rates and clean and efficient development and utilization levels. Article 39 [Coal Development and Utilization] The development and utilization of coal shall adhere to unified planning, overall survey, orderly development, and clean and efficient utilization. * * Optimize coal development layout and production structure, promote safe and green coal mining, encourage the development of circular economy in mining areas, promote clean and efficient utilization of coal, and appropriately develop coal-based fuels and chemical raw materials. * * Implement protective mining of special and scarce coal types, and encourage priority mining of coal bed methane and extraction and utilization of coal mine gas.
Properly develop coal-based fuels and chemical raw materials. ----Appropriately develop coal-to-oil, coal-to-gas, coal-to-olefins, coal-to-ethylene glycol, and coal-to-aromatics.... Encourage the priority mining of coal-bed methane and the extraction and utilization of coal mine gas.----The coal-bed methane in Shanxi is good, and Yunnan-Guizhou gas gas has opportunities...
* * Development will press * * Consider interests and will not over-protect the interests of some people.
Encouraging development does not encourage occupation. Nowadays, many projects are equipped with coal mines. Generally, large ones are replaced by small ones, and coal is mined vigorously. All the basic good coal fields are occupied. What about the subsequent sustainable development?
Coal-to-liquids still have not released fuel taxes.
This requires related supporting policies. Why does this happen? It is because there is no one to take care of it, or there is no supporting management.
At present, crude oil prices are low and there are no tax incentives. The development of alternative energy raw materials is not fast. If oil prices rise in the future, the same mistakes will be repeated.
Moderate development should also be considered from the perspective of raw material and energy security. Without development in this area, blind reliance on imported crude oil will easily lead to strangulation. The current oil price is at the bottom, so we can develop moderately. It is better to use cheaper ones. In fact, many coal chemical projects have been passed recently. Millions of tons of ethylene glycol are actually oil fields with millions of tons.
