Mapping Opportunities, Issues & Future Direction of Coal Conversion Sector Amidst Uncertainties: Experts Share at Strategic 6thCTLtec in Beijing
6th CTLtec, which will be held on March 3-4 in Beijing, China, is part of Asia's largest coal-to-liquids forum series, CTLtec Asia. The conference will provide a realistic view of the entire coal to liquids value chain and put current developments in coal to chemicals and coal polygeneration in context of latest developments in China, India, Australia and the rest of Asia Pacific. Participating organisations include Shenhua Coal to Liquid Chemical Co. Ltd, Sasol, Synfuels China, ConocoPhillips, Dow Asia Pacific, Haldor Topsoe, Sud Chemie, Lurgi GmbH, International Finance Corporation and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation.
Beijing, China (PRWEB) January 13, 2009 -- Projects to develop synthetic fuels and chemicals from coal have been slowing down, in light of the global economic slowdown and unstable oil prices. Despite uncertainties, there are opportunities for the sector in growth regions like India, Australia, & China. In January 2009, China's Shenhua Group's announced that they had begun trial operations at their 10 billion Yuan Coal-to-Liquids plant in Inner Mongolia, which can produce over 1 million tons of coal-derived fuel annually at full capacity.
However, the near future will mark the maturation of the industry, as critical issues will need to be resolved before widespread commercialisation of the process. In fact, industry leaders, including Shenhua, are now strategising to diversify existing coal conversion projects to stay ahead of volatile times; an exiting industry trend that will be explored by the upcoming 6th CTLtec Asia conference.
6th CTLtec, which will be held on March 3-4 in Beijing, China, is part of Asia's largest coal-to-liquids forum series, CTLtec Asia.
The conference will provide a realistic view of the entire coal to liquids value chain and put current developments in coal to chemicals and coal polygeneration in context.
And for the first time, the CTLtec Asia series is organising this 6th CTLtec Asia meet to be followed by the CO2 Capture, Sequestration & Utilization forum. The back to back forums will provide a comprehensive look at the Coal Conversion sector while dissecting latest innovations and issues in CO2 management for this heavy emissions industry.
6th CTLtec Asia will also provide specific insights on other key areas of the entire Coal-to-Liquids value chain including:
