Project for efficient utilization of low-rank coal to produce hydrogen and the production of 500,000 tons per year of high-concentration urea-based compound fertilizer: On April 26, 2023, Gansu Energy and Chemical Industry Investment Group Co., Ltd. signed a strategic cooperation agreement in Beijing with Aerospace Investment Holding Co., Ltd. and Aerospace Changzheng Chemical Engineering Co., Ltd. The agreement stipulates that the three cooperating parties will carry out exchanges and cooperation in areas such as new energy and hydrogen energy, coal-based power generation, the chemical industry, surveying and design, as well as investment and financing. Project details: The construction site is located in the Hexibao Chemical Circular Economy Industrial Park in Jinchang City, Gansu Province. It will have an annual production capacity of 300,000 tons of synthetic ammonia, 300,000 tons of urea, 200 million cubic meters of hydrogen, and 500,000 tons of urea-based compound fertilizers. The production facility includes systems for storing and transporting raw materials and fuel coal, as well as a set of units for coal gasification, air separation, shift reaction, low-temperature methanol washing, sulfur recovery, ammonia compression, carbon dioxide compression (for use in gasification and urea production respectively), liquid nitrogen washing, syngas compression, ammonia synthesis, and urea production. Outcomes: By relying on major projects and adopting market-based approaches, partnerships are comprehensively deepened, cooperation areas are expanded, new forms of collaboration are developed, and cooperation mechanisms are improved, thereby achieving mutual benefit and common development. At present, the main control project of the gasification unit has completed the pouring of the first-floor columns, marking the entry of this coal chemical project onto a fast track.
