On June 26, 2021, Tang Bing, General Manager of Jingyu Energy Co., Ltd., and his team visited Xingren City to inspect the coal-to-ethylene glycol project. Zhan Danzhi, Secretary of the Xingren City Party Committee; Fang Xianhong, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and Mayor of the city; Pan Bingyun, Director of the Party Committee Office; Wu Tao, Deputy Director of the Xingren Economic Development Zone Management Committee; as well as representatives from the city’s investment promotion agency, accompanied them on the visit. A meeting was held in the Party Committee office to discuss investment opportunities. Zhan Danzhi said that in recent years, Xingren City has seized historical opportunities, building on its comprehensive advantages in coal, water resources, and power grids. Following an industrial development strategy aimed at achieving a scale of 100 billion yuan, adopting fourth-generation technologies, focusing on export-oriented production, and balancing heavy and light industries, the city has planned and developed the Xingren Industrial Park, which consists of \"one park and four zones.\" Special attention has been given to the Baling Heavy Industry Zone, where industrial facilities for producing ethylene glycol from coal and related manufacturing bases are being established. The park is equipped with complete infrastructure such as water, electricity, roads, and communication facilities. Xingren City enjoys a favorable location, convenient transportation, and abundant resources – in particular, it has an abundance of coal of high quality, making it highly suitable for the development of the coal-to-ethylene glycol chemical industry. The area also boasts a strong industrial foundation and a rich cultural heritage. Zhan Danzhi said that the Xingren Municipal Party Committee and the municipal government have always attached great importance to investment promotion, making every effort to create a relaxed, fair, and just environment for investors. He hoped that both sides would strengthen communication and cooperation in order to facilitate the establishment of the 600,000-ton coal-based ethylene glycol production facility, so that it could be built and put into operation as soon as possible, thereby contributing to the development of Xingren’s new-type industries. On January 6, 2015, Jingyu Energy Investment Group signed a project agreement with Xingren County in Guizhou to build a facility capable of producing 600,000 tons of coal-based ethylene glycol per year. On February 6, 2015, the signing ceremony for scientific and technological cooperation between the People’s Government of Qianxinan Prefecture and the Fujian Institute of Research on the Structure of Matter under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, as well as for the project to produce 600,000 tons of coal-based ethylene glycol per year in Xingren County, was held at the Crown Hotel in Xingyi. The \"Framework Agreement on Scientific and Technological Cooperation\" was successfully signed between Qianxinan Prefecture ** and the Fujian Institute of Research on the Structure of Matter, Chinese Academy of Sciences; meanwhile, the \"Cooperation Contract for the 600,000-ton-per-year coal-to-ethylene glycol production project in Xingren County\" was signed by the people’s government of Xingren County ** in conjunction with the Fujian Institute of Research on the Structure of Matter, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Guizhou Jingyu Energy Investment Co., Ltd. The total investment in this project is over 7 billion yuan; it is a collaboration between Jingyu Energy and the Fujian Institute of Research on the Structure of Matter under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, with the Institute holding a 40% stake in terms of technology. The project plans to use the second-generation coal-to-ethylene glycol technology developed by the Fujian Institute of Physics and Materials Science, and in 2015 it will commence the construction of a pilot plant with a capacity of one thousand tons.
