The first urea production capacity quota swap transaction in Xinjiang, handled by Xinjiang Property Rights Exchange Co., Ltd., was successfully concluded. Recently, this project was selected as a model case and published by the China State-Owned Property Rights Exchange Institutions Association. The greatest significance of this project lies in opening up vast opportunities for the Xinjiang Property Rights Exchange to serve enterprises suffering from overcapacity, thereby facilitating the adjustment and optimization of industrial layout. It also serves as a model for the trading of urea production capacity quotas on the exchange. Xinjiang Dahuangshan Hongji Coking Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Hongji Coking”) is a key coal coking enterprise in Xinjiang. Due to business restructuring at its parent company, the ammonia synthesis and urea production facilities were shut down. As a result, the existing urea production capacity of 215,000 tons per year was left idle. To address the issue of idle production capacity and facilitate the rapid adjustment of the company’s business operations, it is urgent to carry out swap transactions for these capacity indicators. In July 2023, the Xinjiang Property Rights Exchange, upon the commission of Hongji Coking, accepted the application related to the transfer of a urea production capacity quota of 215,000 tons per year by Hongji Coking. There is virtually no comparable experience regarding the trading of urea production capacity indicators within the national scope of property rights transactions. To ensure the smooth listing of the project, prior to its entry, the Xinjiang Property Rights Exchange held multiple coordination meetings with the transferor to gain a thorough understanding of the project. Extensive discussions were also conducted regarding the relevant industry policies and regulations, as well as the feasibility of listing this urea production capacity indicator for exchange. At the same time, preliminary research was carried out actively; prior to the registration process, the transferor was assisted in understanding the relevant policies regarding urea production capacity quotas, and efforts were made to coordinate the approval procedures for such quota transactions. Integrated transaction solutions were provided regarding the methods of project transfer and project delivery, thus laying a solid foundation for the successful completion of the project. The project was successfully sold for 59.125 million yuan. The successful completion of this project effectively utilized Hongji Coke’s idle urea production capacity, enabling the rapid monetization of such unused capacity. It has laid a solid foundation for the company’s business restructuring, industrial transformation and upgrading, as well as employee resettlement.
