SHENHUA Group Corp, China's largest coal producer, and General Electric Co today announced the opening of their coal gasification joint venture to advance "cleaner coal" technology solutions in China.
The 50-50 Shanghai-based venture comes under a framework signed in November 2009 between the two companies as part of Sino-US clean energy cooperation.
Shenhua and GE will use the venture to improve performance of commercial scale gasification and integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) solutions. IGCC turns coal into a gas and removes impurities from the coal gas before it is combusted.
China, the world's largest coal producer and user, relies on the fuel to fire the majority of its power plants and that causes pollution.
Companies including Shenhua have been working on projects to convert coal into chemicals and liquids with the so-called gasification technology, which allows the use of this abundant and low cost resource in a much cleaner way.
The companies didn't reveal investment details for the venture but Paul Browning, chief of GE Energy's thermal products division, said GE put all of its gasification business in China into the new venture.
GE's gasification unit is a US$100 million business and the majority of the revenue was from China, he said.
