Shenhua coal-to-olefins plant fined, ordered to halt: paper

China has ordered a unit of Shenhua Group to suspend production at its coal-to-olefins plant in Inner Mongolia for violating environmental regulations and hit the firm with a 100,000 yuan (US$16,100) fine, local media reported on Wednesday.

The plant, which at 600,000 tonnes of polyethylene and polypropylene a year is the largest coal-to-olefins facility in China, will remain shut until the environmental ministry completes checks on the facility, the National Business Daily said.
