Oracle, alongside China National Coal, is preparing coal-to-gas and coal-to-liquid policy requirements to be proposed to the Government of Pakistan to establish a regulatory framework and government policy.
“Drawing on the extensive experience of China Coal as a world leader in coal development and integrated industries, we at Oracle are positioning ourselves to become a first mover in the development of coal-to-gas for urea, coal-to-liquids and for other applications in Pakistan,” said Naheed Memon, Oracle’s CEO.
“Alongside the development of our proposed mine mouth power plant, coal-to-gas and coal-to-liquids are expected to play an extremely important role in the growth of our company and we expect this work by CNCDC to establish the viability of, and a development model for, coal gasification at Thar Block VI,” added Memon.
