Accelergy to begin fuel production at Chinese pilot plant

Accelergy Corp., a global leader in the production of clean, high-grade, distillate liquid fuels, said it has started production at a pilot facility at the Beijing Research Institute for Coal Chemistry (BRICC).  Using its proprietary Micro catalytic coal liquefaction (MCL) process, the plant will convert Chinese coal to coal-to-liquids fuel. “We’ve combined the most advanced and experienced groups in the United States with their Chinese counterparts to commercialize high efficiency coal conversion technology. By working closely with BRICC, we’ll explore the best options for the deployment of Accelergy’s technology, and will look to collaborate with leading Chinese coal producers to develop future projects throughout the country,” said Tim Vail, CEO.
