On July 29, the first public announcement regarding the environmental impact assessment for the first phase of Inner Mongolia Guocu Energy Group Co., Ltd.’s project to produce 4 billion cubic meters of coal-to-natural gas per year (with an annual production capacity of 2.2 billion cubic meters) was made. Project Name: Phase I of the 4 billion cubic meters per year coal-to-natural gas production project by Inner Mongolia Guocu Energy Group Co., Ltd. (2.2 billion cubic meters per year)
Location: Southern part of the Shangejia Chemical Industry Park in the New Industrial Park, Tumote Right Banner, Baotou City, Inner Mongolia. The project is adjacent to the ethylene glycol production facility on its north side, the railway line within the park on its south side, Jingqi Road and equipment manufacturing projects on its east side, and industrial vacant land on its west side. Construction contents: The main installations to be built include gasification, shift and heat recovery, low-temperature methanol washing, cryogenic processing, methane synthesis, liquefied natural gas production, sulfur recovery, boilers, air separation units, as well as the corresponding utility systems, auxiliary equipment, and supporting facilities. Product solution: This project uses local coal from Inner Mongolia as raw material to produce LNG through coal gasification, shift reaction and heat recovery, low-temperature methanol washing, methane synthesis, and natural gas liquefaction, while generating sulfur as a by-product. The annual production capacity is 1.51 million tons of liquefied natural gas (equivalent to 2.2 billion standard cubic meters of gaseous natural gas per year), with an annual output of 40,000 tons of sulfur as a by-product. The key tasks of the Inner Mongolia Energy Bureau for 2020 involve 7 coal chemical projects: striving for the approval of the Huaxing coal-to-gas project, accelerating the preliminary work for Shenhua’s second and third coal-to-oil projects as well as the Huaxing and Guocu coal-to-gas projects, and advancing the construction of projects such as Yitai’s 2 million tons per year coal-to-oil plant, Beikong’s 4 billion cubic meters per year coal-to-gas plant, Datang’s second series of coal-to-gas plants with a capacity of 1.33 billion cubic meters per year, and HuiNeng’s second phase of coal-to-gas production. The annual production capacity of 4 billion cubic meters of coal-to-natural gas from China National Storage Energy & Chemical Group Co., Ltd. involves a total investment of 18 billion yuan; the project is implemented in three phases, with one set of coal-to-natural gas production facilities capable of producing 4 million standard cubic meters per day being built in each phase ； Once the project is fully completed and brought into operation, it will have an annual gas production capacity of 4 billion cubic meters.
