EstimatingCarbonEmissionsfromChina’sCoal-to-ChemicalIndustryduringthe“13thFive-yearPlan”Period
Abstract
China’s coal-and-chemical industry has long been controversial for its high level of carbonemissions.Intherecentlyreleased“13thFive-yearPlanforEnergy”,thecoal-to-chemicalindustrywas set a number of key construction regions.Meanwhile, global fossil fuel carbon emissionshaveseenazerogrowthrateforthreeyearsinarow.ThereductioninChina’scoalusageoverthepastthreeyearsisamajorcontributingfactorbehindthis.
SincetheParisAgreement,Chinahasactivelycommittedtocuttingcarbonemissions.However,data from the coal-to-chemical industry reveals that if project growth cannot be controlledduring the “13th Five-year Plan” period, it is likely to lead to a continued increase in carbonemissions.Accordingtothesummaryanalysisoftherelevant13thFive-yearPlancontent,China’scoal-to-chemicalindustryislikelytocontributearound409milliontonsofcarbonemissionsperyearin2020–morethanfourtimesthefigureof90milliontonsrecordedin2015.
1. Background
In2015,the195partiespresentattheParisClimateConferencesignedahistoricagreement.TheParisAgreementwas the firsteverglobalagreementonclimatechange.China formally joinedthe Paris Agreement in 2016, fulfilling its commitments on reducing carbon emissions. As theworld’s largest greenhouse gas emitter, the Chinese government has played an active role inboth the approval and the enforcement of The Paris Agreement. TheAgreement contains thefollowingpledge:Holdtheincreaseintheglobalaveragetemperaturetowellbelow2°Cabovepre-industrial levels andpursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 °C abovepre-industriallevels,recognizingthatthiswouldsignificantlyreducetherisksandimpactsofclimatechange.” (Known as the ‘2 °C threshold’). Although there are still some details left to bediscussed, the2 °Cand1.5 °C thresholdsare tangible targets for theglobal implementationofgreenhouse gas emission reductions. It shouldbe a guidingprinciple for industries involved inreducingemissionsinallcountries.In China’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC)1submitted to the United Nations, thecountryhasstatedacleardeterminationtopeakcarbondioxideemissionsaround2030,whilemakingastrongefforttopeakearlier.Thedocumentalsopresentedaseriesofnewmeasures,including plans to close coal-fired power plants and high energy-consuming factories. ThisdemonstrateshowChinaisactivelycuttingcarbonemissionswhilealsoacceleratingtheenergytransition.The“13thFive-yearPlanforEnergy”publishedinearly2017alsomadeitclearthatby2020–theendof the13th Five-year Planperiod–China’s domestic carbonemission intensity perunit ofGDPwillbereducedby18%from2015levels.At the end of 2016, a report by the University of East Anglia2and the Global Carbon Project

showedlittlegrowthinglobalfossilfuelcarbonemissionsin2015.Thereisexpectedtobeonlyaslight rise in2016,markingnearstagnation incarbonemissionsover thepast threeyears.Thereduction in China’s coal usage over the past three years is a significant contributing factorbehindthis.China’scoalconsumptionhasalsodeclinedinrecentyears.AccordingtodatareleasedbyChina’sNationalBureauofStatistics3,afterannual coal consumption fell for the first time,by2.9%, in2014, the figure continued to fall in 2015 and 2016 by 3.7% and 4.7% respectively. ThiscontinuousdeclineseemstosuggestthatChina’scoalconsumptionhasalreadypeaked.
Thecoal-to-chemical industry isoneof themajorcontributors tocarbonemissions inChina. In2011and2012,carbondioxideemissionsfromthecoal-to-chemicalindustryaccountedfor2.7-3.2%ofthecountry’stotalcarbonemissions,whilealsoaccountingfor21-24%ofthechemicalindustry’s emissions4. This further illustrates how the coal-to-chemical industry is indeed acarbon-intensiveindustry.
Accordingtothe“13thFive-yearPlanforEnergy”,aftertwoquietyearsforthecoal-to-chemicalindustry,itisverylikelythattheindustryexpandsduringthe13thFive-yearPlanperiod.Asoftheend of 2015, themain products of China's coal-to-chemical industry include coal liquid fuels,syntheticnaturalgas,coaltoolefins(includingmethanoltoolefins),whoseproductioncapacityreached2.54million tonsper year,3.1billion cubicmetersper yearand8.62million tonsperyear respectively. The2015annualoutput reached1.15million tons, 1.88billion cubicmetresand6.48milliontons.5
In the current market environment, coal-to-chemical products lack a competitive edge ascomparedtopetrochemicalproducts.Furthermore,duetoblind investmentsmade in thepastdecade,the industryhassufferedfromthe impactofovercapacity.Meanwhile,emissionsfromcoal-to-chemicalprojectsmayhaveanegativeimpactonChina’scarbonreductionpolicies.

Thestudyyearis2015andthetargetyearis2020.2015marksthelastyearofimplementationforthe12thFive-yearPlan,and2020marksthelastyearforthe13thFive-yearPlan.Therefore,byanalyzing these two years, one can effectively reflect upon the state of the coal-to-chemicalindustryatboththebeginningandendofthe13thFive-yearPlanperiod.Basedonthesummaryofcurrentprojectstatisticsandrelevantcircumstances, it ispossibletoinferontheproductioncapacityforthecoal-to-chemicalindustryasawholein2015.Equationforthetotalamountofcoal-to-chemicalindustrycarbonemissions:Totalamountofcoal-to-chemicalcarbonemissions=∑(Totalcarbonemissionsofeachofcoal-to-chemicalproducts)Equationforthecarbonemissionsofcoalchemicalindustryproducts:Total carbonemissions froma coal-to-chemical product = total productionof coal-to-chemicalproductXCarbonemissionfactoroftheproductCarbonemissionfactorsforcoal-to-chemicalproducts:Productcarbonfactor=Industrialcarbonemissionfactor+GeneralcarbonemissionfactorTableofcoal-to-chemicalproductemissionfactors6:

Coal-to-oil products fall into two categories based on different types of liquefactiontechnologies–direct and indirect liquefaction processes. Because the technologies are verydifferent, they will be separated both in terms of emission factors and subsequent emissioncalculations.
There may be larger errors in the results for Coal-to-Methanol and Coal-to-Dimethyl Etherproducts, due to there being very limited information available during the survey period.Furthermore,thesetwoproductsarenon-essentialintoday’scoalchemicalindustry,andthereisa relatively low amount of data on investment and carbon emissions. Therefore, these twoproductsareignoredinthisresearch.

According to the latest data, China's CO2 in 2015 totaled around 9.73 billion tons, which issmallerthanthefiguresof9.74billionin2014.However,China'scarbonemissionsin2015werestillnearlytwiceashighastheworld'ssecond-largestemitter—theU.S.,accountingfornearlyone-thirdoftheworld'stotalcarbonemissions.
Comparing the growth rate of CO2 emissions in China from2002 and 2015 shows that in thethreeyears from2013 to2015, theannualCO2emissionsgrowth ratehas remained low, andtherewaseven inverse growth in2014. This also serves as indirect evidence thatChina'sCO2emissionshavebeensignificantlyinhibitedinrecentyears.

Comparingthecapacitywiththeoutputinthecoal-to-chemicalindustryduringthe12thFive-yearPlan period shows that aside from coal-to-olefin, the output for all other products wassignificantly lower thancapacity.Thismaybebecauseblind investmentsover thepastdecadehave resulted in industry overcapacity16. However, carbon emissions from coal-to-chemicalprojects inChina in 2015—90million tons—wereequivalent to theentire carbonemissions inBelgiumthatyear.

Table4.ExplanationofThreeScenarios
1. Planned scenario – In 2020, capacity of the main products of China’s coal-to-chemical –includes coal-to-oil and coal-to-gas –willmeet the targets set in the “13th Five-year Plan forEnergy.”Otherproductswillmaintaincurrentcapacity.2.Extremescenario– In2020,China’scoal-to-chemicalcapacitywill includeprojects thathavebegunoperations. Itwillalso includecoal-to-oil,coal-to-gas,coal-to-olefinsandcoal-to-ethanolprojectsinkeyconstructionareasoutlinedinthe“13thFive-yearPlanforEnergy”thatareunderconstructionorplanned.3.Projectedscenario–In2020,China'scoal-to-chemicalcapacitywillincludeprojectsthathavebegun operations. Besides that, it will only include coal-to-oil, coal-to-gas, coal-to-olefins andcoal-to-ethanolprojectsthatfall intothekeyconstructionareas inthe“13thFive-yearPlanforEnergy”thatarealreadyunderconstruction.
4.2.1. PlannedScenario
Theplannedscenarioreferstotheproposedcapacityinthe“13thFive-yearPlanforEnergy”forcoal-to-oil and coal-to-gas production—around 13 million tons / year and 17 billion squaremeters/yearrespectively.Neitherthe“13thFive-yearPlanforEnergy”northe“13thFive-yearPlan for the Demonstration of the Coal Deep Processing” set quantifiable capacity targets forcoal-to-olefin and coal-to-ethanol. Therefore, to make conservative estimates, this studyassumes in2020,coal-to-olefinandcoal-to-ethanolprojectswillmaintaincurrentcapacity,andthat the capacity of additional projectswill be negligible. According to the available statistics,coal-to-olefinandcoal-to-ethanolprojectsinoperationhavecapacityof53.38milliontons/yearand17.54milliontons/yearrespectively.
Therefore:

Product Capacity(tenthousandtons

Carbonemissions(tenthousandtons/

Coal-to-Oil 1300 6.86 8918
Coal-to-Gas 17billionm3/year 480,000/km3 8160
Coal-to-Olefin 1112 10.52 11698
Coal-to-Ethanol 243 5.6 1361
Total - 30137Table7:EstimatesofChina'scoalchemicalindustrycapacityandcarbonemissionsundertheplanned
scenarioin2020
It is clear that coal-to-oil and coal-to-gas projects’ emissions are prominent. Although coal-to-olefin capacity is relatively small, its large emission factor results in higher levels of carbonemissions. In this scenario, the total emissions from the four products of the coal chemicalindustrywouldbe301million tons.Thecarbonemissions fromcoal-to-oilandcoal-to-gas thatare within the scope of 13th Five-Year Planwould be approximately 170million tons and thecarbonemissionsfromthecurrentoperatingprojectswouldbe130milliontons.
Thehighestproportionof the total carbonemissionscomes fromcoal-to-olefin,whichhas thelargest carbon emission factor and accounts for 39% of the carbon emissions from coal-to-chemicalindustry.Secondiscoal-to-oilwith34%.Thethirdiscoal-to-gaswith27%.
Figure5:ratioofCO2emissionsfromChina'scoalchemicalindustryunderthe2020Plannedscenario
In this scenario, assuming thatall policies related toChina's coal-to-chemical industry stay thesame forprojectsalready inoperation, a conservativeestimateof the situationwouldbe thattheindustryandallrelatedenterprisesarestillconfident incontinuingtodevelopprojectsandachieving the production capacity. Thus, this situation will leading to an increase in industrycapacityandcarbonemissions.

4.2.2. ExtremeScenario
The extreme scenario includes all the projects in operation, all the coal-to-oil and coal-to-gasprojects,within the scopeofkeyconstructionprojectsoutlined in the“13thFive-yearPlan forEnergy,” that are either under construction or planned. It also includes eligible coal-to-olefinsand coal-to-ethanol projects that are currently under construction17. The extreme scenario isintended to show how much carbon emission there will be even with the conservativeassumptionofnoadditionalcapacitybefore2020.

In this scenario, coal-to-oil will no longer be the highest carbon emitter; coal-to-gas willcontribute most of the carbon emissions, around 378 million tons. The four coal-to-chemicalproductswillhavetotalemissionsof792milliontons.Theoperatingprojectswouldhavetotalemissionsof209milliontons.Theunderconstructionprojectswouldhavetotalemissionof194milliontonsandplannedprojectswouldhave389milliontons.

Because this represents the extreme scenario, conditions ofinternational oil prices, the price of coal, policy support and other factors need to beadvantageousforthistohappen.
4.2.3. ProjectedScenario
The projected scenario includes coal-to-oil, coal-to-gas, coal-to-olefins and coal-to-ethanolprojects that are already in operation, adding only the under-construction projects that fallwithin the scopeof key constructionprojectsoutlined in the “13thFive-yearPlan forEnergy.”Using conservative estimates of project developments as well as actual progress of existingprojects, this scenario estimates carbon emissions for projects that aremore likely to go intooperationby2020.

In this scenario, the two largest contributors to carbon emissions are coal-to-oil and coal-to-olefins.Emissionsfromcoal-to-gasprojectshavedeclinedcomparedwithotherscenarios.Thisisbecause under this scenario, the number of coal-to-gas projects is relatively small, and thepropulsionrateslowsdown itssuccess inachievingproductionstatus in2020. In thisscenario,totalemissionsofthefourproductsofthecoal-to-chemicalindustryarearound409milliontons,about 35.76% higher than the planned scenario. The operating projects would have totalemissionsof215milliontonsandtheunderconstructionprojectswouldhavetotalemissionsof193milliontons.
Figure7.RatioofCO2emissionsfromChina'scoalchemicalindustryunderin2020undertheprojected
scenarioEstimated total carbonemissionsof theprojectedscenario ranksbetween thatof theplannedand extreme scenarios. But given the unpredictability of the market, the assumption that allprojectsunder constructionwillbeput intooperation in2020usesa conservativeestimateofthedevelopmentprospectsof the industry.Thisalso includesunder-constructionprojects thatdon’t fall within the scope (of key construction projects outlined in the 13th Five-year Plan.)Meanwhilegivenvariousfactorsincludingprojectiondevelopmentspeed,marketandpolicy,theprojects that are not under construction right now will not be put into operation by 2020.Therefore,thecapacityinprojectedscenarioexceedsthatintheprojectedscenario. Itsgrowthalso mainly comes from under-construction projects in the planned scope but excesses theplannedcapacity.

5. Conclusion
Formore than a decade the coal-to-chemical industry has witnessed blind development withexcessiveovercapacityandtherearestillsomeprojectsunderconstructionorabouttoputintoproduction. While some of these projects are part of planned key construction, the totalproduction still exceeds thecapacityoutlined in relevantpolicies.Therefore, in the future, thecapacity of coal-to-chemical industry production projects is set to exceed that of the plannedscenario.IfChina'scoalchemicalprojectsarenotrestrained,itwillhaveaseriouseffectonthesuccessfulimplementationofindustry-relatedpoliciesinthefuture.
According to conservative estimates, carbon emissions from the coal-to-chemical industrywillreach301milliontons/yearby2020.Thefigureprojectedintheextremescenariois792milliontons/year.Accordingtoprojectedestimates,China'scoalchemicalindustryislikelytocontributecarbon emissions of about 409million tons/year by 2020. The above three scenarios all showsignificant growth inChina's coal-to-chemical industryCO2emissions comparedwith the2015levelof90.62milliontons–thelargestincreasebeingmorethaneighttimesthatfigure.InthecontextofChina'songoingcarbonreductionpolicy,thecoal-to-chemicalindustry'scontributiontocarbonemissionscontinuestoincrease,whichislikelytoaddgreaterpressureandburdenonChina'scarbonemissionspolicyobjectives.
Thisreportshowsthatcarbonemissionsoftheprojectedscenarioarehigherthantheplannedscenario the projected scenario includes projects in operation and key projects underconstruction,whiletheplannedscenarioisbasedonthesetcapacityforcoal-to-oilandcoal-to-gas production, 13 million tons and 17 billion cubic meters respectively. So given the samecapacity from in-operation projects, the planned scenario’s set capacity clearly restrained thedevelopmentofcoal-to-oilandcoal-to-gasproducts,whereascoal-to-olefinandcoal-to-ethanolwere not restrained. Therefore, in the projected scenario there will be rapid expansion ofcapacityforthesetwoproductsandmorecontributiontocarbonemissions.This study bases its analysis on the capacity of China's coal-to-chemical industry in 2020, andestimates carbonemissionusing themaximumcapacityutilization rate.But actualdata showsthe probability of a coal-to-chemical project operating at full capacity is not high. Therefore,some of the carbon emissions estimates will be reduced due to the reduction in actualproduction.Butinthelowestcarbonemissionsscenario,thatis,theplannedscenario,thecoal-to-chemical industry still would contribute more than twice the amount of China's coal-to-chemicalcarbonemissions in2015(90milliontons).Accordingtoanalysisofexistingdata, it isexpected that if coal-to-chemical projects have not been effectively restrained by 2020, theirproductioncapacitywillexceedthecapacityprojectedinthe13thFive-yearPlan.Therefore,thecoal-to-chemicalindustry’scarbonemissionsin2020cannotbeunderestimated.

China'senergy transformationhasbeenat theheartofChina'smajorenergypoliciesaimedatmitigating climate change and cutting greenhouse gas emissions. However, the coal chemicalindustry’s lack of mature technology and carbon-intensive nature remain important factorsrestrictingitsdevelopment.2017isacrucialyearforChinatoestablishanationalcarbontradingmarket. In order to establish a mature and effective carbon market before 2020, carbonemissionscostswillbegraduallyincorporatedintothescopeofrelevantpolicyconsiderations.AsChina further increases thepacewithwhich it confronts climatechange, carbonmarketpriceswillgrow,andfluctuateasthepriceincreases.Thisisachallengefacedbythecoal-to-chemicalindustryandothercarbon-intensivesectors.Therefore,Greenpeacesuggests:1. As a carbon-intensive industry, coal-to-chemical project approval should be taken into

departments should stop authorizing coal-to-olefins and other carbon-intensive projects.Furthermore,approvalshouldnotbegrantedtoprojectsotherthanthosekeyconstructionprojectsidentifiedinthe“13thFive-yearPlanforEnergy”.Basedonthe13thFive-yearPlan,stopplanninganyadditionalcapacityforthecoal-to-chemicalindustry.
