Recently published by the National Development and Reform Commission, the National Energy Board, the Ministry of Finance and other 15 departments jointly issued “on the expansion of bio-fuel ethanol production and promotion of the use of automotive ethanol gasoline implementation plan” release. The topic of fuel ethanol has once again become hot. The program to the strongest efforts so far, the vehicle ethanol gasoline from the current 11 provinces pilot to the country, the goal is to 2020, the basic realization of the domestic full coverage.

This is the Gospel for the ethanol market. Assuming a nationwide promotion of ethanol gasoline, the future will consume at least 10 million tons of fuel ethanol, excluding the current domestic fuel ethanol production capacity (more than 200 million tons), and is the new capacity (about 200 million tons), conservative There are about six or seven million supply gap. And last year the domestic increase in ethanol import tariffs, imports will be reduced. Then the promotion of fuel ethanol, the most direct lead to the domestic demand for ethanol.

At present, the domestic ethanol production capacity of about 2.25 million tons. The acetic acid / acetate ethanol plant has the following sets (including not yet put into operation, or a planned construction device)
In the case of

However, the current use of ethanol for ethanol, or the use of fixed-point production, directional flow of the way. Part of the synthesis of anhydrous ethanol into the field of fuel ethanol, but also the basic informal channels. But from the current national efforts to promote the promotion of fuel ethanol, the demand for late ethanol will undoubtedly increase significantly.

Acetic acid / acetate ethanol plant on the consumption of acetic acid is larger, about 1.2. Although the current acetic acid / acetate ethanol plant is not much. In terms of production capacity, the total consumption of the process accounts for about 9% of the total consumption of acetic acid. In fact, the process started in 2017 is not satisfactory, most devices in a parking state, the actual consumption of acetic acid accounted for about 4.11%.

If the fuel ethanol really substantial promotion later, then the acetic acid / acetate ethanol will also usher in the development of time, when the process of acetic acid demand will be substantially increased, Table 1, the parking device does not rule out the possibility of recovery, in addition to Lijin Yixiang Is expected to put into operation in mid-2018 Then the proportion of consumption of glacial acetic acid will be significantly improved.

In general, the development potential of fuel ethanol is very large, the current national policy, post-promotion will become an inevitable trend. This is for the acetic acid / acetate ethanol will also be a greater development opportunities, further enhance the downstream production is a good prediction of late consumption of acetic acid, the future consumption of ethanol in the consumption of acetic acid chain will also be a qualitative change.
