TU Bergakademie Freiberg – Institute of Energy Process Engineering and Chemical Engineering
The TU Bergakademie Freiberg is established in 1765. As the German University of Resources, it focuses on education and research along the whole value chain of mineral and energy resources from exploration, mining, conversion and beneficiation to recycling. This specialization is reflected in the profile of the university: Geo, Material, Energy and Environment.
The International Freiberg Conference is organized by the Institute of Energy Process Engineering and Chemical Engineering (IEC). Not only is IEC the biggest institute in TU Bergakademie Freiberg, Saxony; it is also one of the leading institutions in research and development activities relating to low carbon, circular and hydrogen technologies in Europe.

R&D activities at IEC are carried out under three professorships:
Professorship for Energy Process Engineering (EVT)
The Professorship for Energy Process Engineering (EVT) researches, develops and optimizes new processes for the energy and raw material turnaround. The focus is on the creation of closed carbon cycles using renewable energies. This includes in particular the chemical recycling of residual materials (especially plastics), the production of synthetic raw materials and fuels (e.g. e-fuels) and the thermochemical extraction of hydrogen (e.g. from biogenic waste). The aim is the basic development of technologies up to industrial scale at the interface between plant engineering, the energy industry, waste management, the chemical industry, and metallurgy.

Chair of Reaction Engineering (RT)
The research of the Chair of Reaction Engineering deals with fundamental are concerned with fundamental and applied aspects in the fields of exhaust gas cleaning, CO2 mitigation, and production of synthetic and biogenic fuels. A special feature is the knowledge-based development of advanced catalytic materials and chemical processes. These activities cover a broad research area ranging from preparation and physico-chemical characterization of catalysts, in-situ / operando spectroscopy, kinetic modeling to reactor and process engineering.

Professorship Modeling of Thermochemical Conversion Processes (MTK)
The professorship Modeling of Thermochemical Conversion Processes (MTK) focuses on model-based investigation, development and optimization of new, sustainable technologies in the chemical industry and metallurgy. This includes reactors of various designs as well as various syntheses. The R&D activities cover the entire range of scales, from chemically reacting individual particles to the overall reactor, and range from basic research to technology development together with our partners from industry and business.

East China University of Science & Technology – Institute of Clean Coal Technology (ICCT)
Institute of Clean Coal Technology (ICCT), an institute of East China University of Science and Technology (ECUST), was found in 1995. There are 19 faculties including 8 Professors, 7 Associate Professors now working in ICCT, mainly focusing on both the fundamental and applied research of coal gasification and the high-efficiency conversion of natural gas/shale gas, petroleum coke, biomass and other carbonaceous materials.
ICCT carried out systematic fundamental study in the fields of multiphase impinging flow field, impinging flame structure and temperature distribution, multiphase and turbulence reaction process simulation, dense phase powder pneumatic convey, etc. ICCT has successfully developed the Opposed Multi-Burner (OMB) gasification technology. So far, ECUST’s OMB coal-water slurry gasification technology with the coal capacity from the range of 750 to 4000 t/d has successfully achieved the industrial demonstration and operation, and has been applied in 57 industry projects and 158 gasifiers, among which 74 gasifiers in 28 projects are currently running smoothly. Besides the OMB gasification technology, SE dry feed/CWS coal gasification technology was jointly developed by SINOPEC and ECUST, and the demonstration plant with a capacity of 1000 t/d built at Yangzi Petroleum Co., Ltd has been successfully started up in January 2014. In addition, the non-catalytic partial oxidation technology has been also applied to 8 projects.

Synfuels China Technology Co., Ltd.
Synfuels China Technology Co. Ltd. (Synfuels China) was established in 2006 by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and several companies focusing on coal-to-liquids (CTL) and gas-to-liquids (GTL) research and development. Synfules China has the most advanced FT research lab in the world, pilot and demonstrative facilities, and experience in commercial development. Synfuels China advances itself on fundamental research and commercial development from equipment, reaction units, process, catalyst production, engineering design, operation, and manufacture. Synfuels China is technology innovator and provider by owning advanced FT and fuel upgrading technologies, and it also offers services for engineering design and EPC contractor for CTL and GTL project development.
The Synfuels China’s head office and R&D center are located in Huairou district, Beijing that employs over 900 employees on research, development, engineering design and project execution. Synfuels China owns the key technology of high efficient FT and products upgrading systems with independent intellectual property rights. A high-quality R&D team has been formed, with expertise covers quantum chemistry, chemical engineering, catalysis, chemical reaction kinetics, fluid dynamics, chemical analysis, process simulation, chemical process, and equipment and instrument, etc.
Synfuels China has successfully built three CTL demonstration plants in China with advanced FT technology, high efficient catalysts, and modern fuel upgrading system. The three plants are owned by Yitai Group, Luan Group, and Shenhua Group and were all commissioned in 2010 and achieved the designed capacity within one year. So far the three plants have been operated smoothly and become very profitable projects, and one of which has been operated under 110–115 % designed capacity (4500 bpd) since 2011. The successful development and operation of the three CTL demonstration plants results in a series of large scale commercial plant developments in China, in 2016, Shenhua Ningmei 4 million tons/year commercial plant was successfully constructed and commissioned by using this technology and met remarkable success.
As the advanced FT and upgrading technologies provider, Synfuels China provides the self-owned intellectual property right catalyst to the client to ensure high production in additional of serving early phase project exploration, plant commission, and start-up. Being the core technology provider (FT and upgrading units) Synfuels China is able to work with various CTL or GTL project by doing feasibility, engineering design (feasibility study, engineering package of PDP, general/basic/detailed engineering design contractor), and EPC contractor for FT and upgrading units or entire plant. Synfuels is able to provide service to a series of scales of FT unit, CTL, or GTL project between 1000 BPD and 100,000 BPD. With advanced technology and commercial development experiences in China, Synfuels China is now looking opportunity and partners to jointly develop CTL or GTL project worldwide.
