Event Title: China Shenhua Coal-to-Liquids (CTL) Projects
Date & Time: August 30, 2007, 3:30 PM - 5:00 PM
Description: The Shenhua Group Corporation, the world's largest coal
company, is developing coal-to-liquid and coal-to-chemicals plants in China worth $10 billion (US$). In 2003, Shenhua began constructing the
world's first commercial direct coal liquefaction plant, located in Inner Mongolia, at a cost of $1.5 billion. Scheduled to open in 2008, the facility employs technology developed with US Department of Energy (DOE) support and will produce 22,000 bbl per day of liquid fuel
(primarily diesel) from coal. Shenhua is working with DOE on carbon dioxide sequestration and zero water discharge at the plant, both first-of-a-kind environmental demonstrations. In December 2003, WVU entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with China Shenhua
Coal Liquefaction Co. Ltd. (CSCLCL) to formally establish the commitment of WVU and CSCLCL to research together the consequences of large-scale implementation of coal liquefaction technologies in China.
Since 1986, WVU researchers have been engaged in DOE-funded research on the types of technology now slated for use in China. Web Link: www.nrcce.wvu.edu Location: NRCCE Assembly Rooms, Evansdale Campus
