Promote the clean and efficient use of coal, this is what we will do this year Author/Source: China Energy News Date: 2023-02-20 Click rate: 22 Modern coal chemical industry is the main way to achieve clean and efficient utilization of coal. This year, many coal-producing provinces and regions have made important arrangements for coal chemical work, not only proposing development goals of output values ​​of tens or hundreds of billions, but also proposing development ideas for cluster layout and characteristic positioning. The planning ideas are clear, the enterprises are full of motivation, and the clean and efficient utilization of coal is reaching a new height. On January 28, key projects in Shaanxi Province started intensively in the first quarter of 2023. China Coal Yulin Coal Deep Processing Base became the largest high-end energy and chemical project among these projects with a total investment of 20.612 billion yuan. ； In Ordos, Inner Mongolia, Baofeng Energy's 3 million tons/year olefins project with an investment of 47.8 billion yuan is stepping up its progress. It plans to complete all preparatory work by March and complete the project in 18 months. ； The comprehensive demonstration project for clean and efficient utilization of coal by grade and quality, built by Shaanxi Coal Electric Power Yuncheng Co., Ltd., was recently registered with an investment of 7 billion yuan... At the beginning of the new year, a number of large projects in major coal-producing provinces and regions have made new progress, boosting the development of the coal chemical industry. As the main way to use coal cleanly and efficiently, coal chemical projects take advantage of the dual attributes of resources and raw materials possessed by coal, which can help achieve the "double carbon" goal. In the new year, how to further improve the efficiency of clean and efficient utilization of coal? In places where there have been intensive meetings recently * * Recently, many coal-producing provinces and regions have unveiled new plans. To move towards an output value of 10 billion yuan or 100 billion yuan, "specifically, we will build a new coal-to-olefins production project with an annual output of 2.6 million tons, and a supporting green hydrogen coupled olefins production project with an annual output of 400,000 tons. ”According to relevant sources from Baofeng Energy, the project adopts a collaborative production process of green hydrogen and modern coal chemical industry. It is currently the largest coal-to-olefins project in a single plant in the world and the only large-scale project in the world that uses green hydrogen to replace fossil energy to produce olefins. In fact, it is no accident that similar high-quality projects have settled in Inner Mongolia. Enlarging and strengthening the modern coal chemical industry chain has been listed as a key task for the district in 2023. Specifically, it includes accelerating the construction of major projects such as Sinopec and Baofeng, supporting the coupled development of renewable energy hydrogen production and modern coal chemical industry in Ordos, supporting Wuhai in building a coal-based biodegradable materials industry base, etc., and striving to achieve a modern coal chemical output value of over 100 billion yuan this year. “Our region's coal output accounts for approximately 1/4 of the country's total and 1/8 of the world's. If we only focus on production and not industry, and do not lengthen the industrial chain and improve the conversion rate, it will be impossible to change the situation of simply 'mining coal and selling coal'. ”At the first meeting of the 14th People's Congress of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region held recently, the autonomous region leader * Wang Lixia emphasized that we must make every effort to promote the old trees of the coal-based industry to sprout new ones. The reporter further combed through and found that there are many new ideas in various places around the clean and efficient use of coal. For example, in Shanxi, the largest coal-producing province, aiming at the ten-billion-dollar industry goal of modern coal chemical industry, this year will promote the tiered utilization of coal by quality, support Shuozhou City in the new coal integration and coal chemical integration, promote breakthroughs in key technologies such as coal-based high-end chemicals and coal-based high-end carbon materials, and promote the transformation of coal into raw materials, materials, and end products. For another example, Shaanxi, another major coal-producing province, proposed to strengthen the support of the energy industry and plan to promote the second phase of Shaanxi coal quality utilization, the National Energy CTC follow-up project, and Yulin coal-to-clean fuel and other major projects. In addition to accelerating the construction of major projects, Xinjiang will also accelerate the construction of Zhundong * * Level modern coal chemical industry demonstration zone, Hami * * The construction of a first-level modern energy and chemical industry demonstration zone and a circular industrial chain with the clean and efficient utilization of coal as the core. Promote intensive and clustered layout and combine it with the actual conditions of various places, and the idea of ​​​​"holding together" has been affirmed. “Base-based, park-based, large-scale equipment, refining and chemical integration and industrial clustering are the future trends of industrial development. In order to build an internationally competitive modern coal chemical industry cluster and a world-class modern coal chemical park, we must carefully study and determine the development ideas, goals and specific measures for 'scale intensification and industrial clustering'. ”Fu Xiangsheng, vice president of China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation, said. In an earlier interview with reporters, Xie Kechang, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, raised the practical issue that the development space of the coal chemical industry needs to be optimized. Most demonstration projects are located in areas rich in coal resources, but are also limited by factors such as water resources and environmental capacity. Some areas with good sustainable development performance lack project planning. However, overall, the industrial structure of parks, clusters, and bases has been initially formed, and the progress deserves recognition. Xie Kechang said that in addition to the four modern coal chemical industry demonstration zones in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, Yulin, Shaanxi, Ningdong, Ningxia, and Zhundong, Xinjiang, as well as scattered layout points such as Shanxi, Henan, Huainan, Anhui, Bijie, Guizhou, and Jingzhou, Hubei, according to * * “The 14th Five-Year Plan outline has also added two new coal-to-oil and gas bases in northern Shanxi and Hami in Xinjiang. “Most projects include upstream and downstream related industries such as coal mining and coal conversion, and some projects achieve polygeneration with petrochemical, electric power and other industries, further improving comprehensive benefits. ” Scientific planning also boosts corporate confidence. Relevant sources from Baofeng Energy revealed that in addition to the coal-to-olefins project with an annual output of 3 million tons, there is also a coal-to-olefins production capacity project with an annual output of 1.4 million tons in the Sugeli Economic Development Zone in Wushen Banner, Ordos, which has been approved by the people of Ordos City. * * of consent. “The coal chemical industry in the region has reached a certain scale. This year, the city’s * * The work report further points out the direction and draws a blueprint for the industry. ”Wang Sanmin, director of Inner Mongolia Yitai Group Co., Ltd. said. More emphasis on difference and specialization The reporter also noticed that compared with the early years of focusing on popular project types, various regions now pay more attention to difference and specialization. For example, Shanxi Province stated that it will “accelerate the high-end, diversified and low-carbon development of modern coal chemical industry.” ； Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region focuses on coal-based special fuels and coal-based biodegradable materials, focusing on promoting the extension of coal-to-olefins to products such as elastic materials, nylon, and special plastics, and promoting the extension of coal-to-ethylene glycol to products such as polyglycolic acid and polyester fibers. ； Shaanxi Province has proposed to "vigorously promote the high-end, diversified, and low-carbon development of the energy and chemical industry" and will expand the multiple comprehensive recycling methods of kerosene, gas, and salt... "The "Modern Coal Chemical Industry's 14th Five-Year Plan Development Guide" sets it as an important principle to adhere to the leadership of innovation and promote high-end development. Innovation is the most critical factor in future development. ”Fu Xiangsheng proposed that to embark on the path of differentiation, we must increase innovation and strengthen collaborative innovation. We must not only focus on the research and development of high-end coal-based chemicals, special oils and other products, but also focus on technological research on large-scale core reactors and key instruments, pumps and valves. “Let’s take a look at which technologies and equipment have become self-reliant, and which ones are still unable to do so, or even have bottleneck problems. These must be solved through innovation. ” Many industry insiders unanimously stated that low product added value and serious homogeneity were once the main bottlenecks plaguing the entire industry, leading to problems such as short industrial chains and poor profitability. It is precisely for this reason that it has become a consensus to take a high-end and diversified path. “Coal chemical enterprises should be in * * With the help of the company, we will cooperate in depth with domestic and foreign research institutions to accelerate the development of products with obvious advantages in coal chemical tools, such as oxygenated compounds, alpha olefins, special oils, etc., to achieve product differentiation and characteristic development paths. ”Wang Sanmin suggested. * * The relevant person in charge of the Chemical Company of Energy Group believes that based on the essential characteristics of coal, products such as oxygenated compounds and coal-based new carbon materials with high added value and low carbon emissions can be developed in a differentiated manner. “Give full play to the comprehensive utilization efficiency of coal as a chemical raw material, utilize the structural characteristics of coal, and build coal-based new materials and new fuel strategic emerging industry growth poles with coal-based special fuels, coal-based biodegradable materials, and coal-based carbon materials as the main lines. By increasing the depth of processing and expanding product categories, we can achieve high-end and differentiated development. ”
