Total Petrochemicals Makes Big MTO Progress...

摘要

Total Petrochemicals aims to fully prove its methanol-to-olefins (MTO) technology this year, leading to a potential $5bn-7bn (?4bn-5.6bn) worldscale project in China in the coming years. "The economics of our MTO technology will be very competitive. We would look to partner with anyone with access to stranded coal," said the source on the sidelines of the Asia Petrochemical Industry Conference (APIC) in Mumbai. "This project would be very capital intensive at a cost of around $5bn-7bn," he added.
