At the meeting, Liu Yongcheng, the person in charge of the group’s operations in Inner Mongolia, spoke on behalf of Jutai and provided an overview of Jutai Group’s production and business activities as well as its project development. Sinopec Ningbo Engineering Co., Ltd., the design unit, presented the project design details from eleven aspects, including project overview, overall engineering plan, layout and transportation, and utility systems. After listening to the presentation, the experts from various specialties within the China Consulting Corporation’s expert group expressed their opinions, taking into account the contents of the pre-feasibility study report as well as their years of practical experience. After listening to the discussions at the meeting, Vice Mayor Bi Guochen said that, from the perspective of the city’s overall development, the Jiutai coal chemical project plays a vital role in promoting industrial growth in our city, helping to address existing weaknesses and achieving new breakthroughs in industrial development. From the standpoint of the development of Helingeer New Area, this project is located in the Tuqing Industrial Park, which is the core area of that zone; it is the first large-scale coal chemical project to be operational there. It will contribute significantly to establishing industrial infrastructure and accelerating the development of the new area. The municipal Party committee and government will attach great importance to this project and provide strong support for it. Bi Guochen emphasized that the development of the Helingeer New Area is crucial for the economic development of our city, and the Tuoching Industrial Park project is of top priority. The project is located right next to the Yellow River, the mother river of China. While carrying out construction work, it is essential to take good care of the environment; economic development must not come at the cost of environmental damage. Chairman Cui Lianguo said that he is extremely grateful to all the experts for their valuable suggestions put forward at this consultation and evaluation meeting, which are of great significance for the progress of the project. Jiu Tai will certainly take into account the opinions expressed at this meeting, strengthen communication with the design firms, and further improve the design and manufacturing processes. It was also stated that, with the strong support at all levels, Jiu Tai is confident and capable of completing the project successfully, thereby making greater contributions to the development of the local economy. In the afternoon, the expert team from CCIC provided feedback on the preliminary feasibility study report for the project, urging the design party and the project owner to improve it as soon as possible in order to ensure the smooth progress of the Jutai coal chemical project. Inner Mongolia Chemical Industry learned that Jutai Group plans to invest 40 billion yuan in the Tuoketuo Industrial Park to build projects capable of producing 4 million tons of coal-based methanol and 1.4 million tons of olefins per year. Once completed, these projects are expected to generate an annual output value of 18 billion yuan and profits and taxes amounting to 7 billion yuan (of which 3 billion yuan will be in the form of taxes). Tuoxian County in Hohhot has established a leadership team for the promotion of Jutai Group’s coal chemical project, with Zhang Guoping, the secretary of the county party committee, and Guo Zhigang, the county head, serving as team leaders. Relevant county departments are members of this team; its role is to assist Jutai Group with the preliminary procedures such as project approval and environmental impact assessments.

According to the Inner Mongolia Chemical Industry WeChat official account, Jutai Group was established in 2002; it is a private enterprise that focuses on coal chemical products, and it is also a high-tech enterprise of ** level, possessing independent intellectual property rights. Branches have been established in Linyi, Shandong; Ordos, Inner Mongolia; Guangzhou, Guangdong; Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu; and Beijing, among other locations. These branches are primarily engaged in the research, development, and production of products such as methanol, dimethyl ether, olefins, ethylene glycol, and aromatics, with an annual production capacity of 1.6 million tons of methanol and 1 million tons of dimethyl ether. Jiutai Energy Inner Mongolia Co., Ltd. is a subsidiary of the Jiutai Group. It is located in the Dalu New Area of Zhungeer Banner, Ordos City. The first phase of the facility, which has an annual methanol production capacity of 1 million tons, covers an area of 1,100 mu; the total investment in this facility was 6 billion yuan. Construction began in August 2007, and the facility was put into operation in October 2010. This facility uses coal as raw material to produce methanol through processes such as gasification, shift reaction, synthesis, and distillation. Its main advantages are a high degree of domestic production, mature technology, and energy efficiency as well as environmental friendliness. It is currently the largest facility of its kind in China’s coal chemical industry, with an annual production capacity of 1 million tons of methanol. The facility for producing 100,000 tons of dimethyl ether per year was put into operation in June 2011. The 1 million-ton-per-year methanol production facility of Jutai Inner Mongolia Company has been operating safely and stably since its commissioning. In 2016, the annual production and sales volume of methanol exceeded 1.094 million tons. On September 29, 2016, the company launched the construction project for the technological upgrade aimed at making comprehensive use of the waste gas and waste heat generated by its 1 million tons per year methanol production facility. (Inner Mongolia Chemicals WeChat official account) This project takes advantage of the excess capacity of Inner Mongolia Company’s 1 million tons per year methanol production facility; it involves upgrading certain utility systems and auxiliary production units in order to build an ethylene glycol production facility with an annual output of 100,000 tons.
