With the crude oil price prevailing above $120 a barrel, and foreseeable continual shortage of natural gas supply, more and more energy companies are looking for their alternative feedstock to produce chemical products. Especially in China, given its special energy resources structure, coal as the feedstock to its energy and chemical products is playing a very important role in the overall energy mix.

However, the growing demand of coal and booming development of coal chemical industry has caused many intriguing issues, among which safety has been on the top tier of the list, with environmental protection concerns follow the suit. In addition, almost all coal chemical projects are tremendously capital intensive, and that is also the reason why NDRC still withholds the public releasing of “Coal Chemical Industry Mid-long Term Development Plan” up to now even though the paper work finished two years ago.

As international interests and participations in Asian coal and coal chemical industry continue to grow,BSM Investment Corporation is proud to present the 3rd Annual China Coal Chemical Summit 2008 on September 25th & 26th in Beijing, which will once again provide all participants most updated industry policies, gasification, liquefaction and coal to chemicals technologies updates.
