7th CTLtec Asia forum meets in Beijing! Coal Polygeneration Experts share updates.

Jan. 20, 2010 - PRLog -- 7th CTLtec Asia, CMT’s 7th Annual international forum on coal polygeneration will meet in Beijing on 16-17 March to provide answers to a key question dominating the Coal conversion industry today, “How are Coal conversion projects going ahead despite intense pressures from an environmental policy environment, and the weak global economy?”

The conference offers participants an opportunity to evaluate the present dynamics of the Coal Polygeneration sector across Asia-Pacific, and will address issues pertaining to Coal Gasification, Integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC), Coal to Liquids (CTL), and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), with specific focus on developments in China, India and the rest of Asia.

Coal Polygeneration has the potential to take off in Asia-Pacific, where Coal is still favoured amongst countries rich in this natural resource, especially China, India, Indonesia, Vietnam and Australia. 7th CTLtec offers a showcase of current projects in Asia, that include Shenhua’s DCTL project in Inner Mongolia, Yankuang’s Coal to Liquids project, China Blue Chemical’s (a subsidiary of CNOOC) “Coal to Gas” project and more.

The conference also examines the emerging prominence of Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) in Asia Pacific, and showcase pilot projects coming up in China, India, Vietnam and Australia. Experts from VINACOMIN, Linc Energy and more are expected to share project updates at the conference.

There is also an extensive coal to chemicals focus at the conference, with sessions covering Coal to Gas as a feasible feedstock for Urea and Methanol production, Clean coal chemistry for Calcium Carbide Production, the competitiveness of coal to methanol in China and its application in gasoline blending.

In addition to the above, the conference will also offer a Post-Copenhagen view into coal polygeneration, evaluating the fate of clean coal, and setting the stage for the extensive Carbon Capture & Storage focus at the conference, where Shenhua is expected to deliver an update on CO2 capture at their DCTL plant in Inner Mongolia. Also on the agenda are sessions by TPRI and GreenGen on their study into creating a post-combustion C02 capture pilot project (power generation), and MasionWorleyParsons on their CCS projects’ status in Asia and China.

Industry leaders expected to attend 7th CTLtec in Beijing include key coal producers, coal polygeneration company representatives, coal-conversion project owners, national oil companies representatives, oil majors, gasification technologies providers and many more. Participants are expected to fly in from all over Asia-Pacific, Europe, North America, Middle East and Africa.
