Thread Content

On March 3, 2023, the first public announcement regarding the public participation in the environmental impact assessment for the subsequent phase of Shenhua Yulin Circular Economy Coal Comprehensive Utilization Project by China Shenhua Coal-to-Oil Chemical Co., Ltd. was issued. Building on the previous methanol-to-olefins technology, it extends to new materials. This time, we plan to enter the popular material markets such as EVA, HDPE, PP, and UHMWPE. Project composition: The project’s process units include 38 sets of processing facilities such as coal liquefaction, coal gasification, naphtha-methanol coupled cracking, MTO, polycarbonate production, and coal-based biodegradable materials, along with the associated storage and transportation systems, utility systems, and auxiliary facilities. Product portfolio: The company mainly produces coal-based specialty fuels (including aviation fuel and diesel), gasoline, coal liquefied asphalt, coal-based biodegradable materials, p-xylene, mixed aromatics, polycarbonate, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, high-density polyethylene, polypropylene, ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber, and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene; sulfur and ammonium sulfate are produced as by-products.
