“Maximising the value chain of Fuels, Chemicals, DME & Olefins”

From Asia, Europe to US, Coal to Energy – It’s a Global Business NOW!

Why you NEED to attend CTLtec Asia 2008.

Be it embarking on clean coal technologies  or venturing into coal gasification and/or liquefaction (CTL), China and Asia’s coal-rich countries are paving the route to maximize the value of their coal resources, into gasoline, gasoil, jetfuels, utilities and chemicals.  The unanimous global interest of converting coal to liquid hydrocarbons is indisputable, and coal is now becoming more than ever a key source of energy.

Access first hand information from stakeholders of this burgeoning industry: Project status, economics, regulatory and financing, environmental impacts and business opportunities

Shenhua Group’s first commercial CTL production line will come on stream in 2008, with annual output of 1.08 million tons, comprising of diesel, LPG and naphtha. The coal giant is planning two coal-to-olefin projects, producing 1.6 million tons of olefin annually.

Meanwhile, the US Air Force has planned to test and certify every airframe to fly on synthetic fuel blend by early 2011.

The buzz is going on in the rest of Asia as well.  India, having 248 billion tons of coal reserves is in talks with Sasol on a potential US$6 – 8 million investment proposal on Coal to Liquid (CTL) project.  Meanwhile, Australia’s Metex Resources (and CSIRO) is also going to build an underground coal gasification (UCG) demonstration plant in Queensland while in Indonesia, a US$5.5 billion deal for a CTL project has been finalised.

From Coal to Liquid Fuels and Chemicals (Olefins & DME), find out how technological breakthroughs can help you to maximize and monetize on feedstock economics.

Whilst there may be ample coal for a couple of hundred years, the question remains - how can coal  be converted to clean fuels economically?  The escalated petrochemical feedstock cost has created another boom in the coal chemical industry.
The coal based DME industry is developing rapidly in China with more than 30 producers with total annual production capacities of 500,000 tons last year, and this figure is set to grow to over 1million tons over the next 6 months.

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) – Is Asia ready for it?

China is under tremendous challenge to reduce carbon and other greenhouse emissions.  What are the mitigation options and technological solution available to reduce the carbon emissions from these coal conversion plants? And is Asia also gearing up for carbon capture and storage?
