Air Products has signed an agreement with a subsidiary of Shanxi Jincheng Anthracite Coal Mining Group for the supply of industrial gases to Phase One of Shanxi Jinmei Huayu Coal Chemical Co Ltd.’s coal-to-clean-fuels project in Jincheng City.
The Tier One company had previously signed a sale of equipment agreement with Jinmei Huayu to supply two air separation units (ASUs) – with a total capacity of more than 4,000 tonnes per day – for this project, which uses coal to produce clean fuels.
Now, Air Products intends to buy back the two ASUs for approximately $100m and supply industrial gases via pipelines to Jinmei Huayu under a long-term supply agreement, subject to finalisation of a buy-back agreement and any government and regulatory approvals. The ASUs are expected to be onstream in mid-2018.
