WVU-China Clean Coal Initiative Shenhua
Coal-to-Liquids Project
- WVU is the only university working on commercial
Coal-to-Liquids project in the US - Sponsors the US DOE and Shenhua Group (the
worlds largest coal company) - WVU-Shenhua joint research program
- Economic analysis of Shenhua DCL plant
- Environmental impact assessment of the plant
- CO2 sequestration related to Shenhua DCL plant
- Technology research
- FT synthesis and catalyst study
- Integrated DCL and ICL processes
- Technology investigation and process modeling
- Liquefaction fuel testing
- Solid waste recycling

Coal To Liquids Development in China
- 7 CTL plants in western China with the total
budget of 12 billion USD - Shenhua leads to develop 1 DCL, 3 ICL, and 2 CTC
plants with the total investment of 10 billion
USD - Shenhua DCL plant is ready to start up

Why CTL in China? Why Is Shenhua Doing It?
- Why does China develop CTL projects?
- National strategy for energy security
- Environmental pressure for clean coal use
- Feasible technologies and abundant resources
- CTL is Shenhuas business strategy
- Abundant coal with bottlenecks in shipping
- Highly profitable
- Economic development in mining area
- Governmental support
- Capabilities coal, capital, manpower

Shenhua Commercial Direct Coal Liquefaction Plant
In Inner Mongolia
- Worlds 1st DCL commercial plant
- Production Capacity of the 1st Train 24,000 BPD
(mainly diesel) - Plant Cost 1.5 billion USD
- 4 years of construction (2004-2008)

Economic and Environmental Perspectives of
Shenhua DCL Plant
- Economics
- Capital intensive 1.5 billion USD
- High profitable 45/bbl of fuel product cost
- Reducing environmental impacts
- Zero water discharge
- CO2 sequestration
- Ash recycling
- Mine land reclamation
12
Learning from Shenhua DCL Project Development
- CTL is technically feasible and economically
viable for alternative fuels - Effective way for economic development in coal
area - Public and governmental support are critical
- Existing barriers
- Water shortage and CO2 management
- Difficulties in commercial technology and
manufactures - Lack of skilled labor
- Public resistance to coal use and coal derived
fuels
13
CTL Is Important to WV
- CTL is practically feasible and economically
viable way of clean coal use - WV has strengths coal, water, market, CO2
sequestration potential, and the state support - Huge benefits to the state of West Virginia
- Increase revenue (5 times of coal value, 70/b
oil profit) - Clean use of high S coal for environment
protection - Promote local industrial and economic development
- Increase of employment (the 20,000 BPD plant will
generate 1,000 employees directly and 10,000
indirectly) - Support education and technology research
- Support national energy security
