The clean energy cogeneration project of Xinjiang Energy Group Toksun Clean Environment Protection Technology Co., Ltd. has commenced construction; this project is a major landmark project that started construction in the second quarter of this city. At the project construction site, teams of concrete mixers and construction workers are busy working together, carrying out tasks such as pouring foundations and welding rebar in an organized manner. The Tuoxun clean energy cogeneration project was approved in January this year, with construction beginning in mid-June. This year, an investment of 1 billion yuan is planned, mainly for the construction of a coal pyrolysis plant with an annual capacity of 3 million tons and a coal tar hydrogenation plant with an annual capacity of 350,000 tons. The Toksun Clean Energy Cogeneration Project of Xinjiang Energy Group is located in the Toksun Energy Heavy Chemical Industrial Park. The main construction components include a 4.5 million-ton coal preparation and washing system, a plant with an annual capacity of 3 million tons for coal pyrolysis to produce 1.8181 million tons of clean coal (based on the coal fed into the furnace), a plant with an annual capacity of 350,000 tons for tar hydrogenation, and four units for producing hydrogen from gas at a rate of 40,000 m3/h. In May 2023, the Xinjiang Department of Ecology and Environment issued a public announcement regarding its approval for the Xinjiang Energy Toksun Clean Energy Cogeneration Project. The project was included in the autonomous region’s key construction projects for the 14th Five-Year Plan in 2021. With a total investment of 2.869 billion yuan and a total land area of 1,600 mu, of which 100 mu is allocated to residential areas and 1,500 mu to production areas, the project has an annual coal pyrolysis capacity of 3 million tons. The project includes a coal pyrolysis unit, a pyrolysis gas purification unit, a hydrogen production unit, a phenol and ammonia removal unit, a coal tar hydrogenation unit, as well as the accompanying plant-wide utility systems and auxiliary production facilities. The Tuoxun Clean Energy Co-generation Project was approved in January this year, with construction starting in mid-June. This year, an investment of 1 billion yuan is planned, primarily for the construction of facilities for coal pyrolysis with a capacity of 3 million tons per year and coal tar hydrogenation with a capacity of 350,000 tons per year. Once the project is put into operation, it is expected to generate annual sales revenue of 5 to 6 billion yuan, create employment for over 700 people in the local area, and yield profits and taxes amounting to around 1.1 billion yuan. This project will make full use of the high-quality coal resources in Tuoxun County. By implementing an industrial demonstration project for the deep processing of coal through \"million-ton-scale pyrolysis,\" it will drive the transformation and upgrading of traditional coal chemical technologies, gather financial, technical, and human resources, and accelerate the adjustment of the local industrial structure as well as economic transformation. Coal deep processing will be utilized as an important source for diversifying the supply of oil products, natural gas, and petrochemical raw materials, thereby fostering a development pattern in which the advantages of the refining, petrochemical, and natural gas industries complement each other. This approach will help to increase the added value of related products, resulting in an integrated industrial chain for the deep processing of coal into clean energy sources that serves as a model for similar initiatives.
