South African petrochemicals giant Sasol Ltd will invest in two liquefied
coal projects in China by cooperating with Chinese enterprises, according
to the Sasol general manager.
The two projects, one in Yulin city of West China's Shaanxi Province and
one in northwestern Ningxia Hui Autonomous region, will each produce 3.6
million tons of petroleum a year, said Andre De Ruyter.
Sasol signed an agreement on feasibility research into the two projects
this June with Shen Hua Group Corporation Limited, China's largest coal
producer.
According to De Ruyter, Sasol will hold a 50-percent stake in each
project. The total investment in the two projects will be 10 billion to
14 billion U.S. dollars and construction could begin in 2013.
Some local enterprises or partners in the marketing or refining sector
may also invest in the two projects, he said.
De Ruyter said that Sasol has further expansion plans in China but he
refused to disclose the details.
