Recently, the Development and Reform Commission of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region held a meeting to promote the implementation of the Zhundong coal-to-gas project, with the aim of accelerating its development. Responsible officials from the Management Committee of the Zhundong Development Zone, the Changji Prefecture Development and Reform Commission, the Tacheng Region Development and Reform Commission, the People’s Government of Hefeng County, State Grid Western Pipeline, Sinopec Xinjiang Energy Chemicals, Huaneng Xinjiang Energy, Henan Energy Chemicals, Zhejiang Energy Northwest Branch, and Su Xin Hefeng attended the meeting. The planned spatial scope of the Xinjiang Zhundong coal-to-oil and gas strategic base covers five industrial parks within the Zhundong Economic and Technological Development Zone: the Xiheishan Industrial Park, the Jiangjunmiao Industrial Park, the Dajing Industrial Park, the Jijihu Industrial Park, and the Laojunmiao Industrial Park. Planning objectives: Aligning with the overall goal of establishing a strategic base for coal-to-oil and gas production, by combining goal-oriented and problem-solving approaches, by the end of 2025, the first batch of coal-to-oil and gas projects will commence construction successfully and make substantial progress, while breakthroughs will be achieved in the development of supporting industries and long-distance pipelines. By 2027, the first batch of coal-to-oil and gas production base projects will be largely completed, initial progress will have been made in the planning of strategic coal-to-oil and gas production bases, an industrial framework will have been established, and the long-distance pipelines for transporting these products will have the necessary capacity. By 2030, strategic bases, a comprehensive new energy system, and long-distance oil and gas pipelines will have been fully established. The scale of the industry will increase significantly, the overall economic volume will rise substantially, scientific and technological capabilities will improve markedly, governance efficiency will enhance greatly, and overall strength will reach a new level, enabling development that is of higher quality, more efficient, more sustainable, and safer. After reaching its peak, carbon emissions have declined steadily, while the deep integration among industries, finance and industry, education and industry, as well as industry and cities has reached new heights. The largest strategic and intelligent base in the country for coal-to-oil and gas production, featuring full-factor optimization, green practices throughout the entire process, and high value addition across the whole industry chain, exerts a significant influence on energy strategic security. The Zhundong Development Zone in Xinjiang plans to build two bases for coal-to-oil production with simultaneous generation of natural gas and chemicals, each with a capacity of 5 million tons; as well as one base for coal-to-natural gas production with simultaneous chemical production, with a capacity of 24 billion cubic meters. The total investment in these projects is 362.4 billion yuan, while the total output value is expected to be 133.5 billion yuan. It is equipped with a capacity of 30 million kilowatts for new energy installations, providing green electricity, green hydrogen, and green oxygen for coal-to-oil and coal-to-gas processes.
