According to research conducted by the China Chemical Information Research Institute, Shaanxi Coal Industry Chemical Group currently has 8 planned coal chemical projects, namely: 1. Shaanxi Shanhua Coal Chemical Group Co., Ltd., located in Guapo Town, Huaxian County, Weinan, Shaanxi. A new facility will be built with an annual production capacity of 450,000 tons of methanol, along with 200,000 tons of polymethoxymethane (DMMn) as a by-product. Production is scheduled to begin in 2019, with civil work and equipment procurement completed in 2018. 2. Shaanxi Shanjiao Chemical Co., Ltd. is located in Meijiaping Town, Fuping County, Weinan City, Shaanxi Province. 500,000 tons of methanol will be produced using the coke powder generated from existing projects and purchased raw coal. Of this, 200,000 tons per year of methanol remains as the final product ； 300,000 tons per year of methanol are used, along with the addition of gasoline (15%-70%) and additives, to produce 400,000 tons per year of methanol fuel. In the preliminary work. 3. Shaanxi Weihe Binzhou Chemical Co., Ltd., part of the Shanxi Coal Chemical Weihe Group, is located in the Weinan High-Tech Zone of Shaanxi Province. 300,000 tons of ethylene glycol are under construction, with production scheduled to begin in 2019. 4. Pucheng Clean Energy Chemical Co., Ltd. is located in the Weibei Coal Chemical Industry Park, Pinglumiao, Pucheng County, Shaanxi Province. The first phase of 700,000 tons per year of coal-to-olefins production has been put into operation. The second phase involves projects to produce 3.6 million tons of methanol and 1.2 million tons of coal-based olefins, with commissioning scheduled for 2025. 5. Shenmu Fuyou Energy Technology Co., Ltd. is located in the Jinjie Industrial Park in Shenmu County, Shaanxi Province. The processing plant for 500,000 tons of coal tar is under construction, with completion expected in June 2019. 6. Shenmu Tianyuan Chemical Co., Ltd., part of Shaanxi Coal and Chemical Industry Group, is located in the Jinjie Industrial Park in Shenmu County, Shaanxi Province. The 600,000-ton high-value utilization project of pulverized coal is the first phase of the company’s 6.6-million-ton high-value utilization project for pulverized coal; it will be completed in three phases, and the project has now successfully entered its second phase. 7. Shenmu Coal Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. is located in the Qingshui Industrial Park of Yushen Industrial Park, Shenmu County, Yulin City. 1.5 million tons of oil products, 270,000 tons of LNG, 200,000 tons of dimethyl carbonate, etc. Due to the progress of industrial demonstrations for pyrolysis technology, the full-scale commencement may be delayed until the end of the 13th Five-Year Plan period. Information from March 2018 shows that the company for this project had already been registered. 8. Shaanxi Coal Group Yulin Chemical Co., Ltd. is located in the Yushen Industrial Zone-Qingshui Industrial Park in Shaanxi. Phase I of the first phase of the project for the clean, efficient, and differentiated conversion of 10 million tons of coal. The project is planned to be constructed in three phases: Phase 1 will involve the production of 1.8 million tons per year of ethylene glycol, with an investment of 21.946 billion yuan; completion and commissioning are scheduled for 2021 ； Phase II includes a medium- and low-temperature pyrolysis plant with a capacity of 15 million tons per year, as well as facilities for coal tar hydrogenation (2.4 million tons per year), methanol production (5.6 million tons per year), and MTO production (2 million tons per year). The investment required for this phase is 44.8 billion yuan, with completion and operation planned for 2023. The third phase focuses on chemical new materials; the investment for this phase is 35.3 billion yuan, with completion and operation scheduled for 2025. According to analysis by the China Information Chemical Industry Research Institute, based on the \"Plan for Key Construction Projects in Shaanxi Province for 2018\" issued by the Shaanxi Development and Reform Commission, among the new projects, there are 2 projects owned by Shaanxi Coal Industry Group; these are the Shaanxi Coal Yushen High-Efficiency Coal Conversion Industrial Park (Phase I), which involves the construction of a production line capable of producing 1.8 million tons of ethylene glycol per year ； The Weinan Shaanxi Chemical Excess Syngas Comprehensive Utilization Project involves the construction of a facility capable of producing 450,000 tons of methanol per year, along with 200,000 tons of polymethoxymethane (DMMn) as a by-product. Other projects, particularly those in the Guanzhong region of Shaanxi, need to be closely monitored to see if they can be implemented.
