Proposed Worldwide (non-U.S.) Gasification Projects Having Commercial Potential
Welcome to the Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy (FE) / National Energy Technology

States (U.S.). Projects are categorized as either "Active," recently "Delayed/Cancelled," or "Other." The "O
is defined as projects that have been announced, but for which data are limited. Only non-domestic, propo
are included; currently operating projects are excluded. This Database presents factual rather than interpr

In late February 2014, is was decided that planning on the Ajos BTL Project would be put on hold by the Board http://www.vapo.fi/en/media/news/1997/vapo_oy_freezes_the_kemi_biodiese
of Directors of Vapo Oy. The board stated that a lack of both operational partners (Metsaliitto withdrew from the l_project
project in 2012) and financial backing, particularly in light of recent EU climate and energy strategies released in
January 2014, particularly those related to biodiesel, which would have been the plants main product.

CTL plant will produce methanol, petrol and diesel from coal, expected start up by 2019. MoU with Lurgi of
Germany for CTL technology. Commissioning is expected to begin July 2013, using low-quality, high-ash coal,
the variety that abounds in India, to produce 5.7 million standard cubic metre per day of gas. JSPL had hoped
to begin construction in 2014; however, they have not yet been granted a license to remove coal from the
Ramchandi coal block that had been allocated to the CTL project. The coal block has been de-allocated to the
project following a lack of progress by the company to obtain a prospecting license. Following the de-allocation
of the coal block, JSPL announced that they had scrapped plans for the CTL project. JSPL chairman Naveen
Jindal stated "The CTL project was linked with the coal block. If the coal block is gone, then the project is gone."

In February 2014, China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) withdrew from the Arckaringa joint venture, http://www.energy-pedia.com/news/australia/new-157918
leaving Australian-based Altona Energy as the sole owner and operator of the CTL project. As a result, Altona
http://www.energy-pedia.com/news/australia/new-161570
has begun looking for new partners to invest in the proposed CTL project. The direction of the project will also http://www.energy-pedia.com/news/australia/new-159380
now shift to be directed at coal-to-liquids and coal-to-methanol. While partnered with CNOOC, the focus was on
CTL and power generation. In May 2014, Altona was informed by Sino-Aus and Wintask that they were ready to
enter into discussions about a joint venture for the Arckaringa Project. In November 2014, Alton, Sino-Aus, and
Wintask signed a joint venture agreement. Under the agreement, Sino-Aus and Wintask will provide AUD$33
million to the project. Altona was also notified by the South Australian government that the company's
application for a renewed Program for Environmental Protection and Rehabilitation had been approved. Altona
is still awaiting an extention on its Water Affecting Activity Permit.
