The national energy administration supervision director Li Ye 20 in the 2016 Chinese international coal chemical industry development forum said, "Upgrade Demonstration" 13th Five-Year "plan" has been developed to complete the deep processing of coal, will be released in the near future.

　　Li Ye said in an interview with reporters, the planning includes 14 will be in the "13th Five-Year" during the demonstration project started about 25 reserve project. According to reports, the plan covers the use of coal oil, coal and natural gas, low rank coal, coal chemicals and comprehensive utilization of coal and oil in five areas.

　　Li Ye said, this is the first time for China to upgrade the special planning of coal processing and upgrading, planning and demonstration projects will put forward technical and emissions requirements. He said: "in a considerable period of time, coal accounted for the status of the main energy in China will not be a fundamental change in the situation. China's development of coal chemical industry, the central requirements, the market demand, the enterprise has the appeal, the pursuit of technology."

　　Deputy director of the Ministry of information industry and raw materials industry division, said Pan Aihua, "13th Five-Year" period China will adhere to the maintenance of national energy security and diversification of the supply of raw materials of the general idea, based on the existing demonstration projects, focus on upgrading demonstration work.

　　Pan Aihua said, "13th Five-Year" during the period of China will promote innovation, steady development of coal deep processing demonstration upgrading, product differentiation and high-end, optimize the industrial layout in total control, close to raw materials and markets, modern coal chemical industry park project will, at the same time, our country will be combined with Belt and Road Initiative "strategy support enterprises going out".

　　Pan Aihua said that at present China's modern coal chemical industry is facing a blind development, planning projects, the phenomenon of serious homogenization, water resource constraints and environmental pressures, such as a large number of issues.

　　According to reports, China has a large number of modern coal chemical projects in the planning and preliminary work. The 53 coal to olefins project, the total production capacity of 33 million tons; coal oil project 7, the total production capacity of 13 million 900 thousand tons; coal gas project 18, the total production capacity of 74 billion cubic meters; ctmeg projects more than ten, the total production capacity of 4 million 700 thousand tons.

　　China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Planning Institute Gu Zongqin said that under the impact of low oil prices, coal chemical industry projects a huge profit pressure, China's coal chemical industry has entered the stage of climbing over the ridge.

　　According to reports, as of May 2016, China's coal to olefins, methanol to olefins, coal oil, coal production of natural gas and coal production capacity of ethylene glycol were 5 million 900 thousand tons, 4 million tons, 2 million 580 thousand tons, 3 billion 100 million cubic meters and 2 million 550 thousand tons.

　　China petroleum and chemical industry association president Li Shousheng said, "in 13th Five-Year during China's macro-control should not relax on the modern coal chemical industry, we must adhere to the model first, and improve the management, technology and investment benefits of upgrading demonstration requirements.

　　He believes that the development of modern coal chemical industry must make a major breakthrough in the high-end technology, to make the coal head and tail of the two major advantages more mature. In the sustainable development of green, our country should establish the standard of waste water, waste gas and solid discharge as soon as possible, break through the technical restriction of high salt waste water and carbon dioxide emission, and establish a highly efficient and strict environmental protection supervision system. He said: the carbon tax is the trend of the times, which will have a significant impact on coal chemical industry."

　　It is predicted that by 2020, China's coal oil, coal gas, coal to olefins, aromatics coal and coal to ethylene glycol production capacity will reach 800 to 10 million tons, 20 billion cubic meters, 16 million tons, 1 million tons and 6 million tons.
