China’s energy and environmental
initiatives
Five-year Planning Cycle for National Economic
and Social Development. This provides:
• guidelines, policy frameworks, and targets for policy-
makers at all levels of government
• top down overall objectives and goals related to
economic growth and industrial planning in key sectors
and regions
Historical review of the 11th Five-Year
Plan (2006-2010)
Key targets were to meet China’s increasing
energy demand, while simultaneously reducing
pollution and ensuring a stable, reliable and
clean energy supply
• Declaration that the nation will achieve a 20% reduction in
energy consumption per unit of GDP and 10% reduction of
major pollutant (sulphur dioxide)
• Improvement of coal power plant efficiency through the
introduction of advanced high-efficiency units and the
closure of small inefficient power plants
• Shut-down of obsolete, small steel-making and cement
production units
Overview of energy and environmental
aspects of 12th
Five Year Plan
• Energy consumption per unit of GDP to be cut by 16% from
2010 levels;
• SO2 and NOx emissions to be cut by 8% and 10%
respectively from 2010 levels;
• CO2 emissions per unit of GDP to be cut by 17% from 2010
levels;
• Non-fossil fuel use to account for 11.4% of primary energy
consumption;
• Expenditure on research and development to account for
2.2% GDP; and
• Water consumption per unit of value-added industrial output
to be cut by 30%.

China’s coal to chemicals development
and deployment programme
• Aim is to establish a modern coal chemical industry, to
include the upgrade of those demonstration projects that
offer the higher energy conversion efficiency, a suitable
geographical location, with both adequate suitable coal
supplies and sufficient water availability, as well as offering
prospects for extending the industrial chain to promote local
economic and social development.
• This will include a focus on the construction of projects for
clean production, utilisation, processing and conversion of
low-calorific-value coal
Phased development programme in
line with the 11th
FYP
2006-2010
• Establish gasification technology to use coal as a feedstock
for chemicals and fuels production.
• Determine the technical viability of using gasification based
coal conversion to produce both synthetic oil and gas, and
to manufacture various chemical products (hydrogen and
methanol)
• Assess economic viability of products from coal conversion
technologies compared to imported alternatives
Wide range of coal gasification
technologies being supplied in China by
overseas vendors
GE Energy Shell Siemens SES
Increasing use of domestic technologies
also underway
• ECUST is the leading Chinese
technology supplier, and has
some 31 projects either
operational or at the
contracted design and
construction stage. Now the
3rd biggest gasifier vendor in
the world
• Other Chinese suppliers
include;
• TPRI
• H-TL
• Tsinghua U
• ICC-CAS
• MCSG
• Sedin

FYP
2011-2015
. Ensure coal to chemicals programme is in line with
government goals to increase clean energy use and cut CO2
emissions.
• Establish very large scale coal to SNG processes and
possibly scale-up various coal to oil technologies.
• Apply large scale coal gasification for the production of
olefins as a means to establish higher value-added markets
for plastics and fibres.
• Continue assessment of other coal to chemicals techniques,
especially coal to glycol and coal to aromatics processes.
• Limit any expansion of the lower end coal to chemicals
processes and weed out those companies and industries
with low production efficiency and high-energy consumption.

Coal to SNG
• Some 14 coal gasification
projects are under construction
in China through to 2016.
• Total potential annual SNG
output of just over 21 billion m3
pipeline quality gas
• Target capacities are 89-96
billion m3/year, although the
timelines for these subsequent
expansions have yet to be
defined.

Coal to olefins
• Sixteen methanol-to-olefins
(MTO) and methanol-to-
propylene (MTP) projects are
due to come on stream by
2015, with a total annual
production capacity of 10 Mt.
• First four are commercial
prototype demonstration units,
and have commenced
operation.
• Product quality is at the lower
end of the market range.
Further development work is
needed to introduce more
highly efficient catalysts and to
ensure operational stability.

CCS opportunities for the modern
coal to chemicals sector (end 2011)
Export opportunities and related
initiatives
• Gasification technology exports and licenses
• Major engineering, procurement and construction
role being established overseas
• Initiatives underpinned by the China Development
Bank
Conclusions
• China offers a template for large scale coal to chemicals, gaseous
and liquid fuels deployment, for all stages of the industrial
development cycle.
• It has shown what can be achieved from a technical standpoint
while demonstrating, as technology familiarisation has been
achieved, that there are various routes that can then be followed to
ensure that acceptable economic performance becomes a key
factor.
• Water availability and the need to limit CO2 emissions will have to
be taken into account, if sector is to continue to grow
• Scope for early CCS demonstrations on larger coal conversion
units
• There will also be a strong market for the cost-effective
deployment of water-saving and wastewater treatment
technologies. Such activity will provide a significant stimulus to
GDP growth at a time when export opportunities in other sectors
may not be as strong as in the previous FYP period.
