Seminar Background Contact: Li Keyao Tel: +86-533-6091079 Fax: +86-533-6090132 Mail: liky@sci99.com Seminar Highlights The global economy developed with difficulties in 2015, and the year 2015 might be the most difficult year for the Chinese economy. Continuous declines in crude oil prices led to the downtrend of chemicals markets and the ethanol market was no exception. The import volume of ethanol jumped from 21kt in January to 400kt in November. The China-made ethanol market experienced challenges. As for the price, it declined from RMB 5,800/mt in early 2015 to RMB 4,800/mt at the end of December. Given the unchanged tariff, will the arbitrage between RMB and USD prices continue in 2016? The corn inventory at the State Grain Reserve Bureau has been over 100 million mt, hitting a historical high. Prices at deep processing enterprises hit the historical low in 2015. As substitutes of corn, imported sorghum and barley shocked the Chinese corn market. Moreover, the State Grain Reserve Bureau reduced the purchasing prices, which weighed down the market confidence. Considering the unclear policies in 2016, how will the corn market perform? The future of the international crude oil is uncertain and chemicals markets are running carefully. Fuel ethanol must be the major part in the ethanol market. As the Chinese government insists on managing the haze, will the ethanol market improve via fuel ethanol? In 2015, the synthetic ethanol technology made full use of its advantages with the ethanol capacity increasing from 275kt/a to 491kt/a. Moreover, about 740kt/a capacity will be put into operation in next few years. Experts will help you understand synthetic ethanol clearly and know future newly-added units.
