According to Aerospace Changzheng Chemical Engineering Co., Ltd., on January 12, 2025, the ceremony for announcing the top 10 news stories in the petroleum and chemical industry for 2024 as well as the annual public opinion report was held in Beijing. The space furnace was selected as one of the top 10 news stories in China’s petroleum and chemical industry for 2024. 100 units of the space furnace were put into operation in November 2024. To date, 105 units have been put into official operation, with a processing capacity of over 60 million tons of raw coal per year. To date, the aerospace company has signed contracts for 71 coal chemical projects and sold 167 sets of aerospace furnaces. Of these, 35 units of the gasifiers equipped with the latest 6.5 megapascal technology have been ordered, while 32 units of 3,500-ton capacity gasifiers have also been ordered ； With a market share of over 50%, it is recognized by the **Ministry of Industry and Information Technology as a ‘Champion Enterprise in Manufacturing’. Since its industrial operation began in 2008, the space coal pressurized gasification technology has been widely applied in the production of synthetic ammonia, methanol, coal-to-oil, coal-to-olefins, coal-to-ethanol, ethylene glycol, and other products. The daily coal processing capacity per furnace can be in the range of 1,000 tons, 2,000 tons, 3,000 tons, 4,000 tons, and so on. The typical high-tonnage gasifiers that have been recently signed for or put into operation are as follows. In October 2024, Aerospace Changzheng Chemical Engineering Co., Ltd. successfully won the bid for patents related to the gasification unit of the 15 million tons per year demonstration project for clean and efficient conversion of coal, undertaken by Shaanxi Coal Group Yulin Chemical Co., Ltd. The project uses 9 4,000-ton-class space furnaces. The Inner Mongolia Baofeng coal-based new materials project uses 11 4,000-ton class water-cooled aerospace furnaces. In November 2024, the first production line of Inner Mongolia Baofeng Coal-based New Materials Co., Ltd.’s 3 million tons per year olefin project began trial production.
