On June 18, 2023, Satellite Chemical issued a announcement stating that on June 17 of the same year, the company signed a \"Cooperation Agreement for Investment Projects in Xuwei New Area\" with the Management Committee of the **East-West-Central Region Cooperation Demonstration Zone (Xuwei New Area, Lianyungang). The company plans to invest in the construction of a high-end new materials industrial park for the comprehensive utilization of alpha-olefins in Xuwei New Area, Lianyungang, with a total investment of around 25.7 billion yuan. Satellite Chemical stated that it plans to register an independent legal entity company in the Xuwei New Area, and will use its own funds to invest in the construction of a high-end new materials industrial park for the comprehensive utilization of alpha-olefins. The total investment for this project is approximately 25.7 billion yuan, of which around 20.8 billion yuan is allocated to fixed asset investments. The construction scope includes a facility for producing α-olefin light hydrocarbons at a capacity of 2.5 million tons per year, 5 units capable of producing α-olefins at 100,000 tons per unit, 3 units for producing POE at 200,000 tons per unit, 2 units for producing high-end polyethylene (metallocene) at 500,000 tons per unit, 2 units for comprehensive PVC processing at 400,000 tons per unit, a facility for producing polyα-olefins at 15,000 tons per year, a facility for producing ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene at 50,000 tons per year, a facility for the resourceful utilization of hydrogen gas as a carbon-reduction agent, and LNG storage tanks (subject to the project approval). According to Lianyungang News, once the project is fully completed, it is expected to generate an annual output value of 48 billion yuan, with profits and taxes exceeding 11 billion yuan. At the same time, it can drive the development of downstream industries such as green hydrogen, high-end polyolefins, and new polymer materials to converge within the park, giving rise to several industrial chains with a production capacity of millions of tons each. This will provide strong support for building a petrochemical industry cluster worth trillions of yuan in the Lianyungang petrochemical industry base.
