On February 18, the Jiehua Branch of Yunnan Jiehua Clean Energy Company held the first consultation meeting regarding the preliminary work on the environmental impact assessment for the “Relocation, Upgrading, and Construction of a 500,000-ton ammonia synthesis and downstream projects at the industrial park by Yunnan Jiehua”. 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 of 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 Jiehua Company, and Shi He, deputy head of the Technology Department, led a team from the environmental assessment unit to the project site in the industrial park (the Xiaolongtan Chemical Industry 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, following the reconnaissance, the inspection team held a field discussion and exchange session to further clarify the relevant work plans and tasks. This laid the foundation for the successful completion of the environmental impact assessment and groundwater exploration for the relocation and upgrading project into the industrial park. The relocation, transformation, and upgrading project of Yunnan Jiehua Company involves the construction of a large-scale coal chemical project. It is planned to be built in the Xiaolongtan Fine Chemical Industry Park in Kaiyuan City, Yunnan Province. The projected investment is around 20 billion yuan; the annual coal consumption is expected to be approximately 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 along with its downstream product facilities; the transformation and upgrading of a 1.8 million-ton/year methanol plant; and the development of new carbon-based materials facilities for methanol downstream applications. The main products and downstream products include: 1.8 million tons per year of methanol and related carbon-based new materials, 500,000 tons per year of liquid ammonia and related products such as nitric acid, *ao acid an, nitro fertilizers, urea, concentrated nitric acid, and calcium nitrate.
