The supply and demand pattern of the company’s main products is still good, and the coal chemical route has obvious advantages under high oil prices

Under the double carbon background, due to the requirements of resource protection and energy consumption control, the new production capacity of synthetic ammonia, methanol and other chemical materials will be limited. The supply side of the company’s main downstream products such as urea, DMF, acetic acid and adipic acid will still face constraints, and the industrial barriers will continue to improve. Under the background of steady demand growth, the supply and demand pattern of the company’s main products will still be good. Meanwhile, the international crude oil price has been rising. On March 1, the settlement price of WTI crude oil futures was US $103.41/barrel, the highest level in recent years. Under the high oil price, the cost of petrochemical products increases and the profitability decreases. The coal price is stable under the regulation of China’s policies, the cost advantage of coal chemical enterprises is further highlighted, and the company’s profits are expected to continue to rise.

Jingzhou base and new energy and new material projects have been put into construction, and the company’s revenue is expected to double in 2024

Relying on the clean coal gasification platform, the company further extends the industrial chain, enters high value-added products, and gives full play to the advantages of flexible cogeneration; At the same time, Jingzhou base is strategically planned to break through space constraints and expand the market advantages of main products. In August 2021, Shandong Hualu-Hengsheng Chemical Co.Ltd(600426) (Jingzhou) Co., Ltd. synthetic gas comprehensive utilization project / Park gas power platform project was officially started in Jiangling County, Jingzhou City, Hubei Province.

The company’s high-end solvent and nylon 66 high-end new material project has also been officially started in February. After completion, the company will add 300000 t / a dimethyl carbonate, 300000 t / a methyl ethyl carbonate, 80000 T / a nylon 66, 148000 T / a adipic acid and other products. The products are mainly used in new energy batteries, high-performance engineering plastics and other fields. With the continuous operation of new projects, the company is expected to double its revenue in 2024.
