BEIJING (XFN-ASIA) – Shell Gas and Power Developments BV and Shenhua Ningxia Coal Industry Co Ltd will jointly invest 6 bln usd in a coal-to-liquids plant in northern China’s Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, the Economic Observer reported.
Citing Lim Haw Kuang, executive chairman of Shell in China, the newspaper said Shell will offer its proprietary techniques for the project and a preliminary feasibility study on the project will be completed within three years.
Lim was quoted as saying China will hold the majority stake in the project, adding that ‘Shell will also take quite a big interest in it,’ without providing further details.
Earlier media reports said the plant would be built in the Ningdong coal center — one of 13 major coal centers approved for construction by the Chinese government — and would have a daily production capacity of 70,000 barrels of oil and chemical products.
Lim said oil products from the project will be sold in China, according to the newspaper.
The Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region supplies China with two-thirds of its primary energy needs.
Shell has sold 15 licenses for its coal gasification technology to Chinese companies and is currently constructing a joint venture plant with China Petroleum & Chemical Corp (Sinopec).

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
