South African petrochemicals giant Sasol Ltd will invest in two liquefied
coal projects in 皇冠体育app by cooperating with Chinese enterprises, according to the
Sasol general manager.
The two projects, one in Yulin city of West 皇冠体育app'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, 皇冠体育app'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 皇冠体育app but he refused
to disclose the details. (For more biz stories, please visit )
