Fertilizer companies should find their way on the raw material route

Since the beginning of this year, domestic coal prices have risen sharply. Especially since early April, the white coal required for nitrogen fertilizer production has reached 1,200 to 1,300 yuan per ton. The high prices make many nitrogen fertilizer companies simply overkill. As a result, the demand for raising the urea sales benchmark price gradually rose. However, on the one hand, high oil prices triggered by high oil prices have become a reality, and the momentum of rising coal prices will continue; on the other hand, the country will still implement a price limit policy to stabilize prices in the domestic market. The industry believes that in the face of high coal prices, it is the best way for nitrogen fertilizer companies to find ways on raw material routes.

Raising the urea sales benchmark price is not a new topic. It was issued many years ago but it did not bear fruit. Especially under the influence of the current price increase factor, it is unlikely that the price of urea will be raised. . Not only did the price of fertilizers not rise, but the country that also used coal-fired power generation companies repeatedly asked for a price increase. The country has not approved it. It can be said that if you do not think of ways to find a way out, fertilizer companies that rely on scarce white coal to live can only become increasingly difficult to survive. Again, coal is now in the buyer's market, and fertilizer companies must adapt to this situation.

So, what are the ways to adapt to this situation? There are roughly two. The first is to actively communicate with white coal companies and suppliers, and it is best to form a stable strategic partnership to ensure that white coal is supplied at a stable price. The second is to promote the use of new types of coal gasification plants as soon as possible and to change the raw materials from white coal to local coal as soon as possible. Once fertilizer companies can use bituminous coal, lignite, and other types of coal that can be widely purchased with the help of new equipment, coal prices may drop, and urea companies can embark on a steady development path.

From the current situation, there are several coal gasification technologies available for fertilizer companies to choose from, of which the most successful is multi-nozzle opposed coal gasification technology. This technology is currently used in Shandong Yantai Guotai Chemical Co., Ltd. The carbon conversion rate, specific oxygen consumption, specific coal consumption, syngas purification, and slag water treatment capacity all meet the relevant national standards. At present, Jiangsu Linggu Chemical Co., Ltd. is also constructing this device and is expected to start production in the first quarter of next year. By then, it will not only be able to use the lower-priced Shenhua coal, but also improve the company's technical indicators. In addition to multi-nozzle opposed gasifiers, ash fusion furnaces, space furnaces, etc. are also being promoted.

Some experts pointed out that only by continuously researching and innovating coal gasification technologies and gradually solving the problems of raw coal, can China's nitrogen fertilizer companies develop to be competitive. To solve this problem, it also requires the participation and support of the majority of nitrogen fertilizer companies.
