China’s Jincheng Anthracite Mining Group Plans LNG Plant

China’s Jincheng Anthracite Mining Group (JAMG) plans to start up a 300,000 cubic metre (cbm)/day liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant at Jincheng in Shanxi province in July, ICIS News reported.

The news reported said citing a source from Shanxi Yigao Coalbed Methane, a subsidiary of JAMG , that company is currently conducting trial operations at the plant, according to the source.

A second phase with a capacity of 600,000 cbm/day phase two project was also planned. However, the actual construction schedule has not yet been determined.

The plant uses coal-bed methane produced by its block in Qinshui basin, also in Shanxi province, as feedstock.

JAMG is China’s largest coal-bed methane and coal-based chemical producer.
