China’s Largest Coal-to-Gas Project Starts Up After Decade-Long Halt

China’s largest coal-to-natural gas project has begun production in the northeastern province of Liaoning after a suspension lasting more than a decade, as rising imported gas prices improve the economics of converting coal into gas.

The Datang Fuxin project’s first production line began feeding gas into the national pipeline network on Monday to supply Northeast and North China, according to the Fuxin city government.
