Development of coal chemical industry should set high threshold

The most pressing task is not to rush to the coal chemical project, but to reform the “three highs and one low” traditional coal chemical project, increase its technology and conversion rate, and strictly control the areas that have no conditions for the development of coal chemical industry.

At present, under the dual role of the transformation and upgrading of the coal industry and market interests, China's coal-rich areas to develop coal chemical companies to achieve a certain degree of success. However, many areas where coal resources are not abundant are also on large coal chemical projects. The large demand for coal chemical products, coupled with price advantages, has enabled coal chemical industry to rapidly expand and develop in the coal industry.

As a relatively advanced technology, coal chemical industry has its rationality. China's coal prices are relatively low, coal chemical industry can lengthen the industrial chain and increase the added value of coal. The new coal chemical industry is mainly focused on the production of clean energy and alternative petrochemical products, and it is very helpful for meeting China's oil demand.

However, China's coal chemical industry as a whole is still a "three highs and one low" industry, with high investment, high emissions, high energy consumption, and low conversion rate.

For example, coal quality, there are many places in our country rich in coal resources and not rich, the amount of coal supply is unstable, the composition is unstable, and coal chemical production requires long-term stable operation. The large amount of water consumed is another feature of coal chemical industry. Many coal chemical companies are troubled by water shortages, and they frequently compete with agriculture and industry. High emissions are also an inevitable problem in the coal chemical industry. In addition, coal chemical companies have a large amount of products and raw materials to transport and impose stringent requirements on the transportation conditions. Now, many places where coal chemicals are launched do not have such conditions.

Comprehensive analysis, coal chemical industry has relatively high conditions and thresholds, not all regions and companies have access to blindly launched a serious waste of China's resources and energy, but also is not conducive to the optimization of China's energy structure.

Experts pointed out that at present, China's coal chemical industry has already opened up its industrial chain in technology. The top priority is not to rush to coal chemical projects, but to transform the “three highs and one low” traditional coal chemical project to improve its technology and The conversion rate strictly controls the areas that have no conditions for the development of coal chemical industry.
