Regarding project approval

**There are no mandatory requirements in this regard. If your company’s project plan receives approval or endorsement (filing) from the higher-level authorities, you can simply proceed according to the planned schedule. There is no requirement that the first phase of the project must be completed and approved before work on the second phase can begin. But if the first and second phase projects of your company involve industrial demonstration plants that are simply scaled up from pilot-scale units, it is essential to verify, reevaluate, and refine the reaction conditions determined through laboratory experiments. Additionally, it is necessary to assess whether the catalysts selected for industrial production, the properties of the raw materials, the design of the equipment, and its materials have been validated through the first-phase project, as well as whether the data generated by the demonstration plant regarding product quality and consumption have been confirmed, or whether further improvements and refinements to the process technology are needed If these tasks are not completed during the first-phase acceptance, do you think they can be carried out in the second phase? The Shenhua coal direct liquefaction project is currently at this stage. Seven million-ton coal-to-oil production lines have been planned; one line was built and put into operation in the first phase, and the process technology is currently being refined.

Phase 2 of our company is intended to produce products that are downstream products of those manufactured in Phase 1. But I don’t understand why the relevant authorities insist that construction of Phase 2 can only begin after Phase 1 has been completed and approved – they claim it’s stipulated by environmental protection laws. However, after checking those laws, I found no such requirement

It’s difficult for businesses to operate these days; without the development of downstream products, they cannot make a profit. Waiting until the first phase of construction is completed before starting the preparatory work for the second phase results in significant losses for the company. But still… . . . , helplessly

It is recommended that the original poster explain the issue in more detail so that others can provide suggestions and opinions. As mentioned by the person above, generally a company needs to have both short-term and long-term plans. If the first phase of a project is completed and put into operation, the equipment from that phase will be needed for the second phase; in such cases, the environmental protection and safety supervision departments are likely to have relevant regulations governing such inspections. If a new project is launched in the second phase, it has no direct connection with the first phase, and they can be considered independent of each other

Does your company produce blue carbon in the first phase, and in the second phase use the waste gas generated as a by-product of blue carbon production to manufacture hydrogen? By hydrogenating the medium- and low-temperature coal tar produced as a by-product of blue carbon production, does it create blended naphtha and diesel?
