On May 24, the demonstration project for the clean, efficient, and comprehensive utilization of coal on a scale of 6 million tons per year, funded by Inner Mongolia Jianfeng Coal Chemical Co., Ltd., was officially registered with the local Development and Reform Commission. Notice of Project Filing: Project Code: 2205-150626-04-01-460848. Project owner: Inner Mongolia Jianfeng Coal Chemical Co., Ltd. The application for industrial project filing (for development and reform purposes) related to the 6 million tons per year demonstration project for the clean, efficient, and comprehensive utilization of coal by Inner Mongolia Jianfeng Coal Chemical Co., Ltd. meets the industry policies and market access standards; therefore, filing is approved. Please carry out the relevant work accordingly. Before starting construction, other procedures required by laws and regulations must be completed before work can begin. This is to inform you! Construction location: Narinhe Industrial Park, Wudinghe Town, Wushen Banner, Ordos City. Total investment: 804,946 million yuan, of which self-funded amount is 241,483 million yuan, bank loans applied for amount to 563,463 million yuan, and 0 million yuan from other sources. Planned construction period: from August 2022 to August 2025. Construction scale and scope: The project involves the processing of 6 million tons per year of coal on a differentiated basis, 500,000 tons per year of coal tar through hydrogenation, and 500,000 tons per year of total distillate through hydrogenation. The main construction components include coal upgrading units, raw gas hydrogen production units, tar hydrogenation units, full-range distillate hydrogenation units, a power island, as well as other supporting utility and auxiliary systems. Additional note: Approval for record-filing is granted. (Note: If the project does not start construction or no other procedures are carried out within 2 years from the time of record-filing, and the project owner decides to proceed with the project, they must provide an explanation through the online platform.) ； If it is no longer to be carried out, apply to cancel the registered project. If no explanation is provided and the cancellation is not carried out by the end of the 2-year period, the registration authority will delete the registered project and make it public on the online platform. On April 19, Liu Fengyun, the vice mayor of Ordos City, along with his entourage, visited Inner Mongolia Jianfeng Coal Chemical Co., Ltd. to conduct inspections and provide guidance on the preliminary work for the high-tech demonstration project related to coal chemical processing at this company. The Uxin Banner Development and Reform Commission issued a statement on this matter on May 24, 2022. Song Ruchang, Party Secretary and Chairman of Shaanxi Dongxinyuan Chemical Co., Ltd., gave a detailed report on the basic situation of the Jianfeng Coal Chemical High-Tech Demonstration Project as well as the innovative development achievements of Dongxinyuan Company in recent years. Song Ruchang said that the Yuanjianfeng project was put on hold due to factors such as immature manufacturing technologies and an unreasonable industrial chain. Subsequently, given the innovative achievements and significant economic benefits that Dongxinyuan Company has obtained in recent years in the clean, differentiated utilization of coal, it took full responsibility for restarting the Jianfeng project. The large-scale chemical product production project involving coal pyrolysis, coal tar hydrogenation, and coke powder gasification carried out by Shaanxi Coal Group Inner Mongolia Jianfeng Coal Chemical Co., Ltd. is located in the Nalinhe Industrial Park. It includes facilities for producing 3.8 million tons of coal pyrolysis products per year, 250,000 tons of liquefied natural gas, 500,000 tons of coal tar hydrogenation products, 1.6 billion cubic meters of coal-based syngas, 200,000 tons of acetic acid, and 10 million tons of coal derivatives, in addition to utility facilities such as heat, electricity, water, and gas supply. Shaanxi Dongxinyuan Chemical Co., Ltd. is responsible for managing this project. It is reported that this project makes use of the abundant low-metamorphic coal available in Wushen Banner, Ordos City. By employing a new type of furnace and processing techniques developed by Dongxinyuan Company, as well as a series of patented technologies such as the special design of the furnace chamber walls to create an \"eaves effect\", oxygen-free gas treatment for sealed furnace tops, the use of desorbed gas instead of recycled furnace gas, and the comprehensive treatment and utilization of phenol-ammonia wastewater by separating water, oil, ammonia, and sulfur, it is possible to achieve comprehensive upgrading and purification of pulverized coal, lump coal, and briquetted coal. This process technology features high energy utilization efficiency, low carbon dioxide emissions, and low annual energy consumption, truly enabling the low-carbon, green, and efficient use of coal. A new industrial chain has been established, consisting of \"coal upgrading and purification to produce hydrogen from coal gas along with its comprehensive utilization – advanced processing of coal tar – power generation from waste gases and solid wastes\". For the first time, this project combines the pulverized coal solid rapid pyrolysis technology, which is owned as intellectual property by Shaanxi Coal Group, with the catalytic hydrogenation technology for the delayed coking of medium-temperature coal tar to produce clean fuel oils. The biggest advantage of this project is its ability to achieve comprehensive and differentiated utilization of coal. First, coal pyrolysis is carried out to extract the light and volatile components from the coal, yielding coal tar, gas, and clean raw material coke powder. Subsequently, coal tar is hydrogenated to produce fuel oils, while the excess gas is purified, methanized, and compressed to produce compressed natural gas, thus enabling efficient utilization of the light components in coal. It is reported that thanks to the combined use of coal-based oil, gas, and chemical products production technologies as well as cogeneration techniques, along with the hierarchical utilization of energy and a closed-loop recycling system throughout the entire process, the project achieves a comprehensive resource utilization rate of nearly 100%.
