Author/Source of the evaluation report on Huaxing’s coal-to-natural gas project by the Inner Mongolia Energy Bureau: Yahuac Coal Chemical Industry. Date: 2020-03-31. Clicks: 7. Huaxing New Energy Co., Ltd.’s project to produce 4 billion cubic meters of natural gas per year from coal is a project included in the **“13th Five-Year Plan” for the development of advanced coal processing industries**. After being reviewed by the regional energy bureau, this project was submitted to the National Development and Reform Commission in early December 2019 for approval. On March 24, 2020, the **Energy Bureau commissioned an evaluation agency to assess the project application report. Jiang Lanmei, Deputy Director of the Energy Bureau of the autonomous region, Yang Chengyu, Head of the Equipment for Oil and Gas Department, and Jin Wuhui, Deputy Head of that department, attended the meeting via video. The construction of this project is of positive significance for addressing the shortage of oil and gas resources in our country, ensuring **energy security, revitalizing the real economy, promoting the optimization and upgrading of coal-to-natural gas technology, and accelerating the rapid development of the local economy. Source: Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Energy Bureau. The Inner Mongolia Huaxing coal-to-gas project is located in the Shanghaimiao Energy and Chemical Industry Base in Inner Mongolia. With a total investment of 24.43 billion yuan, its production capacity is 4 billion cubic meters per year of coal-to-natural gas. Synthetic natural gas is produced using technologies such as fixed-bed pressurized gasification, sulfur-resistant shift reaction, low-temperature methanol washing for purification, and nickel-based catalysts for methane synthesis. The main by-products include tar, middle oil, crude phenol, naphtha, sulfur, sulfuric acid, and liquid ammonia. The project is constructed in two phases, with acceptance carried out on a phase-by-phase basis. One phase of the project will have a capacity of 2 billion cubic meters per year for coal-to-natural gas production; the main engineering components will account for 50% of the total capacity, along with heating boilers and pollution control facilities of corresponding scale ； In storage and transportation engineering, except for the storage of ash and slag, as well as auxiliary and utility systems where it is not necessary to construct in phases, all other elements are built at 50% of the total scale. The remaining unfinished construction work will be scheduled for the second phase of construction.
