To date, 90% of the model review for Phase 1 of the DMC project has been completed. The procurement of static and dynamic equipment, as well as the pouring of 11,285 cubic meters of concrete for the construction of cabinet rooms, substations, utility systems, and the main structure of the compressors, have been carried out – representing 88.47% completion ； 1,721 tons of steel structure installation completed, 52.40% done ； 200 tons of storage tanks have been installed, completing 20%. The DMC project is an important part of Shaanxi Coal Group’s strategy to develop an integrated coal utilization industry chain covering upstream and downstream activities; it is also the largest battery electrolyte solvent project in China at present. It is expected that by the end of this year, the detailed design for Phase 1 will be completed, 157 procurement packages will be ordered, 90% of the civil engineering work will be finished, and 10% of the installation work will be completed. The 500,000 tons per year DMC production project of Shaanxi Coal Group Yulin Chemical Yuguangxin Materials Co., Ltd. is located in the Qingshui Industrial Park of the Yushen Industrial Zone in Yulin City, Shaanxi Province, on the land reserved to the west of the first-phase project for producing 1.8 million tons of ethylene glycol as part of the demonstration project for utilizing coal in various ways to produce new chemical materials. The total investment in this project amounts to approximately 4.765 billion yuan, and it is jointly funded by Donghua Technology, Yulin Chemical, Gaohua Chemistry, and Ubiquitous Corporation. A production facility for 500,000 tons per year of dimethyl carbonate (DMC), along with the necessary auxiliary and utility systems, will be built. Phase 1 will involve the construction of a facility for producing 100,000 tons per year of high-purity DMC, while Phase 2 will involve the construction of a facility for producing 400,000 tons per year of high-purity DMC.
