According to Han Changan, chairman of Shanxi Haobao Energy Group, the coal industry has long focused on coke production, but now it's time to shift toward extracting chemical products from coke. This approach allows for a more complete utilization of coal’s "nutrients," and also enables the reuse of pollutants generated during coke production, thus reducing environmental impact. However, only a few enterprises in Shanxi, such as Min Bao, have successfully integrated coke and chemical industries. Recent years have seen a significant shift in the mindset of many coke companies. The idea that relying solely on one source of energy is unsustainable has gained traction among industry players. Despite this change in thinking, many companies have struggled with the transition to a "take-away coke and chemical" model, facing numerous challenges along the way. One major obstacle is the lack of industrial knowledge. For years, coking companies have been familiar with basic processes like coal pyrolysis and simple byproduct recovery, but they often lack expertise in advanced coal chemical technologies. Many companies rush into projects without proper understanding of the technical and managerial requirements, leading to failed initiatives. For example, Linfen Xingyuan Coking Plant invested 30 million yuan in a project to produce clean fuel oil from coal tar, but the project was abandoned due to an incorrect technical choice. Similarly, Jinyang Pride Chemical Company’s methanol project stalled, and Hou’s methanol recovery plan remained just a concept. Another challenge is the absence of clear regulatory guidance. At the early stage of the industry, there were few new coal chemical enterprises, and no well-established industrial structure existed. Local governments lacked the necessary organizations and policies to guide development. As a result, many companies adopted ad-hoc approaches, which failed to address key issues like pollution and safety. Some even faced problems with ammonia disposal, causing water contamination in nearby areas. Others spent large sums on incomplete projects, struggling to move forward. Additionally, there is a lack of cooperation awareness. While the coke industry in Shanxi has undergone restructuring, deep-level collaboration between companies remains limited. Many entrepreneurs prefer to maintain full control rather than share equity, making joint ventures difficult. This reluctance to collaborate has hindered investment and slowed down progress. Experts suggest that companies should embrace a more cooperative and open mindset, focusing on attracting foreign capital and improving management through partnerships. In conclusion, while the transition from coke to chemical production offers great potential, it also presents complex challenges. To succeed, government support, clearer policies, and stronger industry collaboration are essential. Only through these efforts can Shanxi’s coke enterprises overcome their current difficulties and build a sustainable, integrated coal chemical industry.
