Currently 21 coal projects are planned for Mongolia, including: 6 projects are for the coal gasification and dilution; 7 for the coal cracking, 8 for the semi-coke coal and improved fuels. Two companies: “Baganuur Energy Corporation LLC” and “Mongolian Gold” have obtained rights to undertake coal-to-liquid (CTL) operation. Due to the project, “Baganuur Energy”, will produce 420,000 tons of diesel fuel; “Mongolian Gold” will produce 400,000 tons of gasoline at “Aduun Chuluun Mining” in the far east of the country.

The biggest CTL project is “Sinopec”, which will process 50-80 million tons of coal annually. If this project goes ahead, 15 billion m³ of liquefied natural gas (LNG) will be exported annually.

Three coal companies are making products with added value. “Energy Resources” LLC company launched the biggest coal enrichment factory in 2011, which has the ability to clean 15 million tons of coal annually. Also, Hong-Kong listed “Mongolian Energy Corporation” (MEC) is operating a dry technology, coal enrichment plant which has the ability to clean 2.4 million tons of coal.
