Shenhua Group, Dow Join In Coal-To-Chems Project

“This project aligns with Dow’s strategy to invest in growth geographies like China, and will build Dow’s competitive position to serve customers in Asia with locally produced products and solutions,” said Andrew Liveris, chairman and CEO of Dow.

Chen Biting, chairman of Shenhua Group, said, “The building of the world-scale coal chemical plant jointly with Dow will make full use of the respective advantages of the two companies. This project will form a commercially competitive industry, which will have a positive impact on the local economic growth.”

The feasibility study will assess the plant’s environmental impact, water supply, front-end loading engineering design, market and product mix, logistics, and supply chain, and economic evaluation. The study is expected to take two years.
