From January to May this year, the methanol production unit of Ningxia Coal Industry achieved cost savings and efficiency improvements amounting to 64.922 million yuan. This is a reflection of Ningxia Coal Industry’s commitment to \"using energy consumption controls to reduce costs and boost efficiency, while adopting green and low-carbon practices to drive innovative development.\" Author/Source: **Energy Group Ningxia Coal Industry Voice Date: 2022-06-21 Clicks: 15 In the face of the new circumstances, tasks, and requirements related to the development of ecological civilization as well as energy conservation and carbon reduction, Ningxia Coal Industry Company is actively striving to establish a new pattern of development, accelerating the transformation and upgrading of its industries, promoting energy-saving measures and low-carbon, efficient production methods, and adhering to a path of high-quality development that is green, clean, and low in carbon emissions. In production management, Ningxia Coal Industry Company strengthens oversight of energy-consuming processes, actively promotes energy-saving technological upgrades, innovations in energy management, as well as the introduction and dissemination of energy-saving measures. It also enhances the inspection and monitoring of energy consumption processes to facilitate the correction and implementation of solutions to related issues. Strengthen the control over the use of various fuels, raw materials, and purchased electricity, as well as over the production process. Using energy consumption quotas as a standard, enhance the control over production processes, key energy-consuming equipment, and energy consumption at each stage of production, in order to improve work efficiency and production efficiency. Actions are taken to bring energy efficiency levels up to standard, energy-saving diagnostics are carried out, process technologies are continuously optimized, and management levels are improved; as a result, indicators such as the overall energy consumption of coal-to-oil plants, energy conversion efficiency, and water consumption per unit of product achieved first-class levels in China. In line with the path of low-carbon development, Ningxia Coal Industry Company is actively developing the new energy sector, and all its coal mines have installed photovoltaic systems for self-use. A total of 11 photovoltaic projects have been built, with a combined installed capacity of 106.8 megawatts. These projects have enabled the savings of 53,000 tons of standard coal and the reduction of 60,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions. Currently, the 4×5.98 megawatt distributed photovoltaic project for coal-to-oil chemical production, as well as the first phase of the Ningdong renewable hydrogen-based carbon emission reduction demonstration project, are under implementation. Once completed, these projects will enable the savings of 253,000 tons of standard coal and the reduction of 520,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions. Various grassroots units are also actively implementing the concept of green and low-carbon development, and making use of practical conditions to tap into energy-saving potential. The methanol division has made significant efforts to reduce energy consumption and costs while improving efficiency; it has established a comprehensive database on energy usage and developed targeted measures for optimizing energy consumption. Over the past three years, the overall cost per unit of methanol products and polyoxymethylene products has decreased by 3.26% and 10.03%, respectively. Shuangma Mine is committed to becoming a model mine for water conservation; it has established intelligent water-saving systems and a smart water management platform, and carried out renovations to the mine’s water supply and drainage networks. At present, 100% of the water used for drinking purposes in the mine is reused, and the treated water that meets the required standards can be fully utilized for replenishing the water in the Nanhu Wetland ecosystem. Renjiazhuang Mine has launched a campaign to reduce electricity consumption across all employees, assigning electricity usage targets to various grassroots teams, which in turn distribute them to individual work stations. By focusing on reducing energy use at the source, the mine aims to achieve a decrease in both its electrical load and overall energy consumption.
