In 2020, the 4 million tons per year coal-to-olefins demonstration project (with an initial capacity of 2.6 million tons per year) was approved by the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region’s Development and Reform Commission; the environmental impact assessment report for the project has been prepared, and it is now in the stage of awaiting approval. In September 2020, the construction of the third phase of Ningdong project, which involves a 500,000-ton/year coal-to-olefins facility and a 500,000-ton/year facility for the comprehensive utilization of C2-C5 compounds to produce olefins, officially began. The construction of the 3 million tons per year coking cogeneration project is progressing in an orderly manner, and the first phase of the demonstration project for solar electrolysis-based hydrogen production, energy storage, and comprehensive applications was put into trial operation in February 2021. Projects during the reporting period: 1) The Ningdong Phase III project, which includes a 500,000-ton/year coal-to-olefins facility and a 500,000-ton/year facility for the comprehensive utilization of C2-C5 compounds to produce olefins; the methanol and olefins production units are scheduled to come online by the end of 2022, while the 250,000-ton/year EVA production unit is expected to be operational in 2023. 2) Baofeng Coal-based New Materials Co., Ltd. in Inner Mongolia’s 41 million tons per year coal-to-olefins demonstration project: Currently, environmental impact assessment procedures and various preparations for commencing operations are underway, with the goal of completing the project and putting it into production as soon as possible. 3) 3 million tons/year coal coking cogeneration project: Completion and commissioning are scheduled for the end of 2021. The associated benzene hydrogenation capacity will be expanded to 120,000 tons/year, and the tar processing capacity to 400,000 tons/year, resulting in a total capacity of 7 million tons/year – the highest in the domestic industry. 4) Solar electrolysis hydrogen production for energy storage and comprehensive application demonstration project: The first phase of this project began construction in April 2020, with the overall project scheduled to be completed by the end of 2021. 5) Hongsi Coal Mine with a capacity of 2.4 million tons per year: It began trial operations in October 2020, and is scheduled to be put into full operation after passing the acceptance tests within 2021. Overview of the 3 million tons coal coking project: Ningxia Baofeng Energy Group Co., Ltd. plans to invest 340 million yuan to build a \"3 million tons per year coal coking and multi-product production project\" within the existing factory premises in Area B of the Baofeng Energy Circular Economy Industrial Park, located in the Linhe Industrial Zone of the Ningdong Energy and Chemical Industry Base. The main components of this project include the construction of new coking and chemical product recovery systems, the establishment of a new needle coke production system, the expansion of benzene hydrogenation capacity, and the expansion of the tar processing facility’s capacity. The construction capacities are 3 million tons per year for coking, 100,000 tons per year for needle coke; the capacity of the existing benzene hydrogenation plant, which was 100,000 tons per year, will be increased to 120,000 tons per year; while the existing tar processing plant, with a capacity of 300,000 tons per year, will be expanded to 400,000 tons per year. The 3 million tons per year coking cogeneration project launched by Baofeng Energy will utilize 6.25-meter ramming coking units, corresponding chemical product recovery systems, as well as auxiliary facilities. The project features a high degree of integration, a complete downstream industrial chain, a wide range of applications for raw coal with high utilization efficiency, significant scale advantages, and enhanced profitability. In April 2020, Baofeng Energy’s 3 million tons per year coal coking integrated production project was officially launched as one of the first major projects in the Ningdong base for that year. Once the project is completed and put into operation, the company’s coke production capacity will reach 7 million tons per year, making it one of the largest independent coking enterprises in China and contributing to the development of the coke industry in a direction that emphasizes clean and efficient production methods.
