Progress in the preliminary stages of coal-based olefins/coal-based gas projects in Yunnan Author/Source: Date: 2017-10-24 Clicks: 23 Recently, it was learned from the Development and Reform Commission of Qujing City, Yunnan Province, that in 2017, 13 fine chemical projects were given priority for development, with a total investment of 647,088.05 million yuan. Of these, 3 were in the preliminary stage, with an planned investment of 26,019.36 million yuan； 4 new projects are set to commence, with an planned investment of 850 million yuan ； 4 projects are under continuation, with a planned investment of 5,598,611,600 yuan ； There are 2 investment attraction projects, with a planned investment of 580,000,000 yuan. Four key projects will be prioritized, with an planned investment of 691.6 million yuan, and eight action plan projects, with a planned investment of 638,572.052 million yuan. Firstly, it is to continue to advance the construction of the new 2×800,000 tons/year coal-to-olefins and 2.1 billion cubic meters of coal-to-gas project by Zhonghuiyang Co., Ltd. Zanyi District in Qujing City has established a dedicated agency for project advancement, defined its responsibilities and tasks, and has begun working promptly to collect basic data on factors such as site selection and hydrogeology. It has submitted applications to relevant authorities at the ** level as well as provincial departments, striving to carry out the preliminary work required for project approval. At present, the people of Zhenyi **have signed a preliminary cooperation agreement with the project entity. Second, continue to carry out the preliminary work for the Shanghai Shenyi 3.5 billion cubic meter coal-to-gas project, as well as the Fuyuan project involving the relocation and construction of a facility with an annual production capacity of 400,000 tons of synthetic ammonia along with related deep-processing projects. Fuyuan County has established a dedicated agency for project advancement, defined its responsibilities and tasks, and has begun working promptly to collect basic data on factors such as site selection and hydrogeology. It has submitted applications to relevant authorities at the ** level and at the provincial level, striving to carry out the preliminary work required for project approval. On April 10, 2017, ** in Qujing City, Yunnan Province, officially signed a contract with Zhonghuiyang Group Co., Ltd. for a project aimed at producing 800,000 tons of coal-based olefins and 3 billion cubic meters of coal-based gas per year. Li Wenrong, Secretary of the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Qujing Municipal Party Committee, said that by cooperating with Zhonghuiyang Group in the coal-to-olefins industry, it will be possible to make full use of Qujing’s coal resources, advance the deep processing of coal, and promote its efficient comprehensive utilization. At the same time, this will accelerate the transformation and upgrading of Qujing’s coal industry, helping to create the largest new-type coal chemical industry demonstration zone in the province. The Qujing Coal Chemical Industry Park is located in Zhanyi District, Qujing City. In 2014, it was included in the fifth batch of \"New Industrialization Industry Demonstration Bases\" listed by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The Qujing Coal Chemical Industry Park is a key industrial park at the provincial level in Yunnan Province, as well as a park focused on high-tech and specialty industries in the same province. It represents a key area for the development of new coal chemical industries in Yunnan Province and Qujing City, and includes the Huashan Coal Chemical Zone, Baishui Metallurgy and Energy Zone, Chengxi Light Industry Zone, and Tianshengqiao Logistics Zone. Building on Qujing’s annual coal production of around 45 million tons, the industrial park has seen the construction of a Guotou thermal power plant with a capacity of 1.2 million kilowatts, as well as a coal coking facility capable of producing 4.2 million tons of coal tar (300,000 tons of which is obtained through coking) and 300,000 tons of methanol via coke oven gas. Additionally, there are facilities for producing 380,000 tons of aluminum through electrolysis, as well as facilities for producing 2 million tons of steel.
