对于其他处于建设、前期工作或计划中的煤（合成气）制乙二醇项目，亚化咨询深入研究每一个项目的业主实力、审批进度、建设现状、下游规划和资源配套等要素，认为其中建成投产可能性超过50%的项目合计有31个，将于2020年与已投产和试车成功的10个项目一起，形成总计1026万吨/年CTMEG产能。2015中国煤（合成气）制乙二醇项目地图如下。
已投产装置在2015年运行表现取得了一系列突破：
丹化科技2015半年报显示，通辽金煤2015上半年共生产乙二醇7.21万吨、草酸2.91万吨，运行负荷达到90%左右。运行表现相比2012-2014年有了大幅提升。
2015年11月10日，中石化湖北化肥20万吨/年合成气制乙二醇工业示范装置通过竣工验收。该装置原料CO和H2来自现有壳牌粉煤气化制合成氨装置富余的合成气，采用中石化自主开发的合成气草酸酯路线制乙二醇技术。项目于2014年3月开车成功。
2015年11月3日，河南能化集团召开安阳乙二醇项目达产攻关经验推广会。安阳乙二醇装置自2012年11月开车以来，生产负荷逐步提升至日产550吨左右，产品优等品率达到98%以上。
2013-2020年中国CTMEG产能增长如下图所示。亚化咨询研究表明，2016年将是中国CTMEG产能爆发的开端，将新增10个项目总计166万吨/年乙二醇产能。
与任何其他煤化工项目一样，煤制乙二醇也应当积极重视环保工作。由亚化咨询与中国化工学会煤化工专委会联合举办的第三届中国煤化工环保大会将于2016年1月19日在北京召开。会议将探讨中国煤化工行业展望与环保政策趋势，大型现代煤化工项目环保经验，煤化工“三废”处理技术与应用，节水、节能技术以及二氧化碳捕集利用方案等。
对煤化工行业的投资者和参与者而言，了解和判断国家政策发展及其走势；新型煤化工项目的技术经济可行性；示范项目建设进度和运行进展；未来产能增长趋势和市场需求等；并以此作为公司决策的依据是非常重要的。为了给行业和企业决策者提供独立的、客观的分析评论和参考意见，作为专注于煤基能源化工行业的咨询机构，亚化咨询推出了《中国现代煤化工年度系列报告2015》。请看附件订阅说明。
ASIACHEM Released 2015 China Coal (Syngas) to MEG Project Map
2015-12-16
As of Dec 2015, there are 10 coal (syngas) to MEG (CTMEG) projects in China, which have been put into operation and commissioned, with total MEG capacity of 1.7 Mt/a. Among them, three new projects have been successfully commissioned in 2015, including Xinjiang Tianye Phase II, Erdos Xinhang Energy and Anhui Huaihua, with total capacity of 600 kt/a.
For coal (syngas) to MEG projects under stages of construction, preliminary work or planning, ASIACHEM proceeded with deep study on the owner’s power, approval progression, construction schedule, downstream planning and resource allocation etc of individual projects, and made conclusion that 31 of them will have 50% or higher probability to come true, and adding 10 projects of under operation and successfully commissioned, they will totalize up to 10.26 Mt/a of MEG capacity by the year of 2020. 2015 China coal (syngas) to MEG project map is as follows.
In 2015, a series of breakthroughs have been made by the operation performance of commissioned projects:
As shown in Danhua Technology 2015 Semi-Annual Report, Tongliao Jinmei produced 72.1 kt MEG, 29.1 kt oxalate in H1 2015, with operating load of around 90%. The operation performance is greatly improved compared to that of 2012-2014.
On Nov 10th 2015, SINOPEC Hubei Chemical Fertilizer 200kt/a syngas to MEG demonstration project passed as-completion acceptance inspection. CO and H2 feed streams to the project come from the surplus syngas of an existing Shell pulverized coal gasification unit for ammonia production. The project design is based on SINOPEC self-developed syngas through oxalate to EG process route. The project has been successfully commissioned in Mar 2014.
On Nov 3rd 2015, Henan Energy & Chemical Industry Group held a conference to promote the experiences learnt from Anyang MEG project load up works. Since Anyang MEG plant was initially started up in Nov 2012, the operating load has been gradually raised up to about 550t/d level with over 98% premium quality rate.
2013-2020 China CTMEG capacity growth is as follows. ASIACHEM’s research shows that the year of 2016 will be the beginning of outbreak of CTMEG capacity in China, and 10 new projects will increase a total of 1.66 Mt MEG capacity.
Like any other coal chemical projects, CTMEG also needs to actively pay attention to environmental protection.
The 3rd Coal Chemical Environmental Protection Conference will be jointly organized by ASIACHEM and Coal Chemical Committee of Chinese Chemical Society on Jan 19th 2016 in Beijing, China. The conference will discuss China’s coal chemical industry prospect and environmental policy trends, environmental experiences of large scale modern coal chemical projects, coal chemical “three wastes” treatment technology and application, water-saving & energy-saving technologies as well as CO2 capture & utilization proposals, etc.
For the coal chemical investors and suppliers, understanding the national policy development and trends; modern coal chemical technologies and economics; the updates of construction and operation of projects; and market demand and future growth potentials; and as a basis for corporate decision-making is very important. In order to provide independent, objective industrial analysis or comments for reference of decision-makers, as the dedicated Coal Chemical Consultancy, ASIACHEM has launched <China Coal Chemical Annual Reports 2015>.
