Affected by the global energy supply shortage, the prices of major energy products such as oil, coal, and natural gas have all risen sharply.
Propane import prices surge 50%Figure Trend of my country's propane import price from January to September 2021 (USD/ton)The fitting degree of propane and crude oil prices is 90%, so it can be said that the key factor affecting the price of propane is crude oil.

Figure trend of thermal coal market price in my country from January to September 2021 (yuan/ton)
As can be seen from the above figure, due to the shortage of coal supply and the dual control of energy consumption, the price of coal has soared from 680 yuan/ton in January to 1,800 yuan/ton in September, and the price has almost tripled
Figure 1-September cost trend of propylene production by different routes (yuan/ton)From the perspective of the cost of each propylene production route, due to the global energy shortage, the price of chemical raw materials has risen sharply, and the cost of propylene production by each route has also risen to varying degrees
us">Figure 1-September sales profit trend of propylene produced by different routes (yuan/ton)Judging from the data of Pingtou Ge from the chemical industry quoted above, in the context of rising raw material prices, both the MTO and CTO routes are losing money, and the two processes are affected by raw material prices and fluctuate greatly.
In September, coal prices increased rapidly, making the The losses of MTO and CTO are both above RMB 3,000/ton
.
Although the trend of steam cracking has not changed much, it is also in a state of loss.
Among several processes, only PDH remains profitable

PDH consumes the least energy and has the least carbon emissionsPDH consumes the least energy and has the least carbon emissionsWhen comparing the cost and profit of the mainstream propylene production process, we found that when the price of raw materials rose sharply, the measured cost and profit of PDH and steam cracking routes were relatively close
.
But from other aspects, compared with steam cracking, PDH has lower investment, easily available raw materials, simple products and processes, and higher propylene yield.
The most important point is that PDH has the lowest energy consumption and carbon The production method with the least emission and the cleanest production method is also in line with China's clean energy development route
.
Therefore, even when the price of raw material propane rises sharply and the profit decreases, the editor believes that PDH is still a suitable route to produce propylene
