A coal mine with a production capacity of tens of millions of tons, intended to support the coal-based aromatic compounds industry of Yanchang Petroleum Group, has begun operations! Author/Source: Coal-based New Materials Date: November 16, 2021 Click-through rate: 12 On November 12, Yuyang District held a ceremony to officially launch the fourth batch of key projects in 2021. A total of 10 key projects were launched, with a total investment of 15.8 billion yuan. This move further optimizes the layout of the innovation chain for emerging industries in the district, stabilizes economic growth, and accelerates high-quality transformation and upgrading. The 10 projects that are set to begin construction simultaneously include the Kekage mine and coal processing plant, the 48MW distributed wind power project at Hongshiqiao Balasu, the comprehensive utilization of dewatering water from coal mines in the Niujialiang area of the Yushen mining region, the extension of Yingbin Avenue (Yubu Road) to the west, the renovation of the district people’s hospital, and the hardening of roads connecting rural villages in 2021. The total investment for these projects amounts to 15.8 billion yuan, with an annual investment plan of 1.7 billion yuan; they cover various fields such as energy and chemicals, new energy, social welfare, and infrastructure. The commencement of these projects provides new support for achieving Yuyang’s economic and social development goals throughout the year, and generates new momentum for building a modern industrial system characterized by cluster development, multi-polar support, and high-end, low-carbon practices. The Kekegai Coal Mine can be regarded as a Chinese coal mine capable of producing tens of millions of tons per year, resulting from a capacity replacement initiative; it once set a national record for the largest volume of transactions related to such capacity replacement, with a volume of 11 million tons. The Keko Gai coalfield is located in Yulin City, Shaanxi Province, and falls under the administrative jurisdiction of Xiaojihan Township in Yuyang District. It is situated in the northern part of the **planned Yuheng mining area of the Jurassic coalfield in northern Shaanxi, adjacent to the famous \"Yushen mining area\". The geological reserves of coal seams that can be mined in the Keko mining area amount to 2,549.68 Mt, with industrial reserves of 2,091.98 Mt and designed recoverable reserves of 1,286.75 Mt. The structure of this mining area is simple, the coal seams are stable in their occurrence, the quality of the coal is excellent, and the mining conditions are favorable; hence, it represents an excellent source of coal for environmental-friendly civilian use, coal chemical applications, and power generation. Among them, the Kekai Coal Mine is designed with a production capacity of 10 Mt/a and a service life of 92 years; it is a supporting project for the Yuheng coal chemical complex. The project was filed with the Shaanxi Provincial Development and Reform Commission on December 5, 2010; it includes a coal-to-methanol plant with an annual production capacity of 3 million tons, a methanol-to-aromatics plant with an annual capacity of 1 million tons, and a cocoa coal mine with an annual output of 10 million tons. On July 3, 2018, Shaanxi Yanchang Petroleum Group officially took over the coal-based aromatic compounds industry and the associated coal mines developed by Huadian Coal Industry in northern Shaanxi. This included the coal-based aromatic compounds project managed by Shaanxi Huadian Yuheng Coal Chemical Industry, as well as the construction and operation of the Kekai Coal Mine.
