China Restarting Massive Coal-to-Gas Project After Decade-Long Pause
Chinese officials are reviving a multibillion-dollar coal gasification project, the Fuxin project, which was paused in 2014 due to technical, environmental, and market issues. The project, led by China Datang Corp., is expected to resume operations in October 2026, with the goal of increasing synthetic gas production capacity by 12% of China's current gas supply. This move is attributed to global gas supply disruptions and China's surplus of coal.
