On February 18th, the Jiehua branch of Yunnan Jiehua Clean Energy Company held the first meeting to discuss the preliminary work for the environmental impact assessment related to the construction of a 500,000-ton synthetic ammonia plant and related downstream projects as part of the company’s relocation and upgrading initiative. A group of 6 people from China Global Engineering Co., Ltd. and Qingdao CNPC Geotechnical Engineering Co., Ltd., along with Zhang Xu, head of the Environmental Protection Department at Jiehua Company, and Shi He, deputy head of the Technology Department, attended the meeting. The meeting outlined the preliminary plans for the environmental impact assessment and groundwater exploration related to the relocation and upgrading project, as well as the arrangements for on-site inspections. At 9:00 a.m. on February 19, Zhang Xu, head of the Environmental Protection Department at Xiehua Company, and Shi He, deputy head of the Technology Department, led a team from the environmental assessment unit to the site of the project in the industrial park (the Xiaolongtan Chemical Park within the Mengzi Economic and Technological Development Zone in Xiaolongtan Town, Kaiyuan City) to conduct a preliminary investigation, successfully completing the first on-site inspection. At 15:00 in the afternoon, after completing the survey, the survey team held an on-site discussion meeting to further clarify the relevant work plans and tasks, laying a foundation for the successful completion of the environmental impact assessment and groundwater exploration for the relocation, upgrading, and entry project. Yunnan Jiehua Company plans to relocate and transform itself by constructing a large-scale coal chemical project in the Xiaolongtan Fine Chemicals Park in Kaiyuan City, Yunnan Province. The investment is expected to be around 20 billion yuan, with an annual coal consumption of about 7.5 million tons; the facility will cover an area of 250 hectares. The planned scale involves the optimization and upgrading of a 500,000-ton/year ammonia synthesis plant as well as the related downstream product facilities; the transformation and upgrading of a 1.8 million tons/year methanol plant; and the development of new carbon-based materials facilities for use in methanol downstream applications. The main products and downstream products include: 1.8 million tons per year of methanol and downstream carbon-based new materials, 500,000 tons per year of liquid ammonia and downstream nitric acid, *ao acid an, nitrofertilizers, urea, concentrated nitric acid, and calcium nitrate.
