The "Coal-to-oil" project in Yunnan is looking forward to "breaking the oysters" and finally embarked on the road to commercialization

On August 25 last year, Shenhua Group's coal direct liquefaction project officially started in Ordos, Inner Mongolia. Authoritative sources in the coal industry in Yunnan Province believe that this is a milestone in China's strategy to start coal replacement, marking that after a long period of research and debate, coal liquefaction has finally embarked on a commercialized road, and the country will fully promote coal liquefaction projects. signal.
“Northern Shenhua” and “Southern Pioneer” were once listed as two strategic demonstration projects for domestic coal liquefaction. However, this did not mean that “Southern Pioneer” was doing its best. The situation learned from the Leading Group Office of the Yunnan Pioneer Coal Liquefaction Project shows that under the fierce competition of coal liquefaction projects across the country, the prospects of “South Pioneer” are still full of variables.
The Origin of “South Pioneer” The Yunnan Pioneer Coal Mine was chosen as the coal liquefaction project in the south, mainly because the lignite here is very suitable for liquefaction and the oil yield is higher. Over the years, the “South Pioneer” project has been highly valued by the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee, the provincial government and relevant departments.
According to the “Feasibility Study Report of Yunnan Coal Liquefaction Plant”, this project is located near the Xundian Pioneer Mine in Kunming City, where the brown coal has reserves of 291 million tons, of which 192 million tons are suitable for open-pit mining, according to the Calculated with 5.1 million tons of coal, the service life can reach 35 years.
The current annual demand for refined oil products in Yunnan Province exceeds 2.5 million tons, all of which are transferred from outside the province and increase at a rate of 5% each year. For example, in the Pioneering Coal Mine, an annual output of 1,203,400 tons of lignite liquefaction plants, including 352,200 tons of gasoline, 530,400 tons of diesel, and 67,500 tons of liquefied petroleum gas, can be realized. Provincial sales.
The initial budget for this project is a total investment of 8.652 billion yuan, annual sales of about 3 billion yuan, investment return rate can reach about 14.41%, annual profit of nearly 1 billion yuan, investment recovery period (including the construction period of 4 years) about It is 9.32 years.
Moreover, this feasibility study report is based on the crude oil price of 23 U.S. dollars per barrel, and the current price of crude oil has more than doubled.
The "South Pioneer" started several times in 1997. Yunnan Pioneer coal liquefaction project was put on the agenda. Under the coordination of the State Development Planning Commission and the Ministry of Coal Industry at that time, the National Coal Research Institute and Germany's NRW Raw Materials and Environmental Protection Inspection Corporation were designated. , German Ruhr coal company for technical cooperation. Subsequently, 45 tons of vanguard lignite was transported from Yunnan to Germany for a pilot test, and a German expert made a feasibility study report on Pioneer lignite. The rigorous German made a feasibility study report like a thick four-digit dictionary and is still quietly lying in the bookcase of the office of the Leading Group of Yunnan Pioneer Coal Liquefaction Project.
In September 1999, the State Planning Commission organized experts to demonstrate feasibility studies made by Germans. But at the time, international crude oil prices were at the lowest level in the last century, as low as 11 US dollars per barrel. The feasibility report predicts that the cost of coal liquefaction is equivalent to crude oil price of 16 US dollars/barrel.
At the end of 1999, international crude oil prices began to rise. The Yunnan Provincial Government once again submitted a report to the State Development Planning Commission for approval of the project. The State Development Planning Commission has agreed in principle to list Pioneer Coal Liquefaction Project as one of the coal liquefaction options during the National Tenth Five-Year Plan period. It will then approve the project proposal when it is ready. Initially determine the project to actively seek to use foreign capital. Since then, this project has completed the pre-feasibility study report.
Not lost Technology determines the success or failure of coal liquefaction. In recent years, major breakthroughs have been made in the coal liquefaction technology led by Shenhua Group. Shenhua Group has completely absorbed and digested foreign technologies such as the United States, Germany, and Japan, and independently developed a new direct liquefaction process for coal, which has lower investment and lower operating costs.
On this basis, the Shenhua Group invested 400 million yuan to build a coal liquefaction pilot plant in Shanghai. Although the daily processing volume is only 6 tons, it indicates that China's self-developed coal liquefaction technology has begun its industrialization attempt.
In April of last year, the Leading Group Office of the Yunnan Pioneer Coal Liquefaction Project took another 10 tons of lignite coal samples and commissioned the Beijing Coal Chemical Research Institute of the Coal Research Institute to apply the technology independently developed by the Shenhua Group for liquefaction characteristics. In July last year, the test made exciting results.
The leader of the Leading Group Office of the Pioneer Coal Liquefaction Project in Yunnan Province believes that under the backdrop of high international oil prices and the commencement of the same projects of the Shenhua Group, it is now the best opportunity for the Yunnan Pioneer coal liquefaction project.
Prior to this, relevant departments in Yunnan Province had organized 8 state-owned enterprises such as the Provincial Development and Investment Corporation, the Kunming Iron and Steel Group, and Yuntianhua, and made capital investment pledges. It can be said that the investment procedures and technical obstacles of the Pioneer project have been cleared.
However, according to the Yunnan Provincial Liquefaction Office, Henan, Shanxi and other places, although the coal liquefaction project started later than the Pioneer project, but the work is large and impressive. Following the Shenhua Group, the second domestic coal liquefaction project will fall victim to somebody's home, and there will be changes. Yunnan will have to work hard to seize the opportunity.
