According to the official WeChat account of the Jundong Economic and Technological Development Zone, “Jundong Development Zone – Zero Distance,” on March 28, the Jundong coal, electricity, and chemical integration project led by the Dongfang Hope Group, with a total investment of 19 billion yuan, officially commenced construction. This is another major project worth over 10 billion yuan that was started in the Jundong Development Zone during the first quarter. This project integrates modern coal chemical processing with industries such as green electricity and green hydrogen. It primarily employs processes such as pressurized gasification of coal, purification, and methanol-to-olefins conversion, and is capable of converting approximately 6 million tons of raw coal locally each year to produce products such as ethylene, propylene, butylene, and liquefied petroleum gas. It is reported that the Zhundong coal field is China’s largest integrated coal field – with estimated coal reserves of 390 billion tons. Not only are its reserves abundant, but the type of coal found there is mainly non-caking coal, followed by long-flame coal and weakly caking coal; this makes it an excellent source of coal for use in power generation, the chemical industry, and oil and gas production. In recent years, thanks to its abundant coal resources, the Zhundong Development Zone has been able to make significant progress in the coal chemical industry, developing six key industries based on coal, coal-fired power, and coal chemicals. By 2025, the Zhundong Development Zone will accelerate the creation of 2 industrial clusters worth 100 billion yuan each and 3 industrial clusters worth 10 billion yuan each; 152 projects with a total investment of 443.7 billion yuan are set to be launched in phases. Regarding the modern coal chemical industry cluster worth hundreds of billions, on February 23 this year, the Zhundong Coal Chemical Integration Project of Shandong Energy Yankuang Xinjiang Energy Chemical, with a total planned investment of 33.8 billion yuan, began construction ； On March 19, the Zhundong coal-to-natural gas pipeline branch project, with a total investment of around 16.8 billion yuan, officially commenced construction ； On March 22, the **Energy Zhundong coal-to-natural gas project with an annual production capacity of 2 billion cubic meters officially commenced construction.
