With the current poor economic conditions, which gasification companies are still in operation?

To introduce, absorb, and digest in order to innovate is the national policy.

Is the overall environment poor? Prices of bulk chemicals have been rising all the time!

Methanol is 2800 now, ahhhhhh

It’s still running; those that couldn’t hold on have already collapsed. I hope winter will pass soon

Coal chemical industry is doing well this year!

Since the second half of the year, the coal chemical industry as a whole has performed well, with coal mines also becoming increasingly profitable

I haven’t heard of any companies stopping production due to poor environmental conditions; although production results in losses, those losses are not as great as those incurred by not producing at all

They’re basically always on; it’s just about losing money to gain attention
Reply #102016-12-12
Coal chemical industries require large investments; even if there is a slight loss, it’s better to keep operating than to shut down, as at least there will be cash flow. Moreover, this year, sectors within coal chemistry such as methanol production, MTO, and coal tar oil production have not incurred any losses.

Coal gasification is just a part of coal chemical industry; the profit potential depends on the downstream products, as different products yield varying levels of profit. At present, methanol and acetic acid still generate profits
Reply #122016-12-12
Coal mines make big profits, while downstream products generate publicity.

These are all temporary; let’s wait until after the New Year to see – it probably won’t get any better

As far as I know, several companies in Inner Mongolia have stopped production

Coal chemical industry is profitable these days; the vast majority of methanol-to-olefins manufacturers are operating at full capacity or even beyond it
Reply #162016-12-16
The methanol sector has seen huge profits; many plants had to shut down due to local environmental pressures, with restrictions or shutdowns imposed on cement, steel, and chemical industries. However, if all these industries resume operations, methanol prices might drop
