Refining will become the only way to transform the coal chemical industry

Domestic modern coal chemical projects are mainly concentrated in Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Ningxia, Shanxi, Xinjiang and other places, and the industrial development of the park and base pattern has taken shape. At present, the coal chemical industry bases with scale are mainly Ordos coal chemical industry base in Inner Mongolia, Ningdong Energy Chemical Industry base in Ningxia, Yuheng coal chemical industry base in Shaanxi, and coal chemical industry bases in Zhundong, Yili, Tuha and Hefeng in Xinjiang. Most of the modern coal chemical industry bases contain upstream and downstream related industries such as coal mining and modern coal chemical industry, and some have realized multi-generation with petrochemical, electric power and other industries. In addition to coal to natural gas, China's coal to olefins, coal to oil, coal to aromatics, coal to ethylene glycol technology and industrialization level have been comprehensively leading the world, China in the field of modern coal chemical industry has climbed to the highest point in the world. It is expected that in 2020, the scale of modern coal chemical industry will reach: 12 million tons of coal-to-oil, 16 million tons of coal-to-olefin, 6 million tons of coal-to-ethylene glycol, 20 billion cubic meters of coal-to-natural gas, and 1 million tons of coal-to-aromatic hydrocarbons.

2. Future development direction of coal chemical industry

In the future development of the coal chemical industry, its industrial layout is mainly located in the coastal area with convenient transportation. In addition, the development trend of the combination of petrochemical, electric power, steel, coal chemical, petrochemical and other industries is more obvious. The optimal configuration combination between the use of industries to form the industrial layout of coal, oil, electricity and other energy recovery and cascade utilization is conducive to the comprehensive development of the industry and the rational use of energy, as well as the formation of a large-scale, integrated and efficient industrial development area. The traditional coal chemical industry must accelerate the transformation and upgrading of the industry has become a consensus. Relying on technological innovation to promote the integrated development of modern coal chemical industry with petrochemical industry and fine chemical industry, through the transformation of coal "from black to white, from white to fine", and realize the transformation of enterprises to low-carbon environmental protection and new energy, the traditional coal chemical industry can still break through the development bottleneck and regain vitality. We will strive to promote the development of coal chemical industry in the direction of refinement, high-end and cluster.

With the continuous development of China's economy, the industrial output value continues to increase, the demand for chemical raw materials mainly based on coal chemical products is also expanding, coupled with the increasing tension of petroleum resources, the domestic coal chemical industry has also been greatly developed. The state also continues to introduce policies to encourage the development of the coal chemical industry, from the perspective of output, the output of traditional coal chemical products continues to increase, leading to overcapacity, especially after the coal production capacity, the traditional coal chemical industry has a great impact, the traditional coal chemical industry continues to shrink, energy-saving and environmentally friendly new coal chemical industry has become an important development direction of the coal chemical industry. The technical system of coal chemical industry in China is not complete at present, which brings negative influence to the further development of China's coal chemical industry. In this severe situation, we should quickly establish a coal chemical technology system to maintain the smooth progress of coal chemical production. Therefore, coal chemical technology will develop in the direction of systematization.

3. Analysis of the development trend of coal chemical industry

The development space of modern coal chemical industry is larger than that of traditional coal chemical industry. The economic development of coal chemical industry and China's energy security issues still occupy a large proportion in China. Developing China's modern coal chemical industry is an important way to reduce the dependence on foreign oil, to further safeguard China's energy security, and to give play to China's comparative advantages in coal resources. We also need to improve the independent scientific and technological innovation of China's coal chemical industry, so as to further reduce the dependence on foreign technology, to independently develop the key equipment of the coal chemical industry, so as to accelerate the development of the industry. The development of China's coal chemical industry, we need to adhere to the "reference, introduction, innovation, green, independent scientific research" and other concepts, need to see the inherent nature through the construction of demonstration projects, accelerate the pace of development of independent intellectual property technology and the high-level development of coal equipment, improve the utilization rate of energy, in the process of development to reduce the adverse impact on the ecological environment.
