Three Chinese partners—Wison Engineering, Tianjin University, and Xinxin Group—have agreed to build a 10,000-metric-ton-per-year plant to demonstrate a technology that uses a synthesis gas to produce ethylene glycol. Xinxin, a mining firm that also produces coal-based chemicals, plans to later build a larger plant.
