On the morning of January 6, 2025, the first phase of the phosphorus-coal chemical integration project in Bijie, Guizhou, commenced construction in Zhijin County. The total investment in the project is approximately 73 billion yuan; through the integrated and circular development of phosphorus and coal chemical industries, it aims to promote the high-value and efficient utilization of resources as well as the deeper expansion of the industrial chain. Its commencement is not only a vivid example of our province’s efforts to advance the approach of \"intensive exploitation of rich mineral resources,\" but it also marks the \"first shot\" in our province’s efforts to focus on industry, projects, and investment attraction in the new year. It is reported that through the deep integration of phosphorus and coal chemical industries with the park’s heat island effect, and through mutual support between these sectors, products such as hydrogen peroxide and synthetic ammonia produced by the coal chemical industry in this integrated project are used directly as raw materials for phosphorus chemical production ； The electricity and heat generated by the industrial park’s heat island effect meet the production needs of the coal chemical and phosphorus chemical industries simultaneously ； It addresses both the issue of industrial complementarity and the problems related to waste heat, waste pressure, and electricity usage. Wang Chunyuan, deputy director of the Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology, said in an interview that the Bijie phosphorus-coal chemical integration project is a full-industry-chain initiative, with the various products at different stages of the chain being interconnected in terms of supply and demand. The design of this project takes into account high added value, rapid growth potential, and a high degree of knowledge intensity. The companies involved are all from the Fortune 500 list globally and the Fortune 500 list in China, which enables them to work together effectively to strengthen the industry chain and value chain, pushing it toward higher-end levels. This creates a good example of how the introduction of one such project can lead to the development of an entire industrial cluster. Unlike traditional industrial projects, from the initial design stage, this project sets its indicators for energy consumption, material consumption, and water usage per unit of product in line with China’s advanced standards, featuring low levels of pollutant generation and a high degree of sustainability. Li Zhijun, vice president of Huayou Holding and general manager of Youshan Technology (Guizhou) Co., Ltd., said that the production process of this project ensures zero discharge of waste residues, and its high standard of environmental protection meets the strategic requirements for the efficient exploitation of rich mineral resources in Guizhou Province. The integration of resources and market advantages from both parties, coupled with the thoughtful and attentive support provided throughout the project’s implementation, makes it a reliable choice for corporate investment. Once the project is fully completed and put into operation, it will be able to generate an annual output value of 120 billion yuan and create employment for over 14,000 people. To ensure the rapid implementation of these projects, our province coordinates efforts at the provincial, municipal, and county levels to handle the necessary procedures as quickly as possible and to provide all necessary support; through ‘excellent service’, it helps to accelerate the construction of these major projects. It is reported that the Guizhou Bijie phosphorus-coal chemical integration project, with a total investment of 73 billion yuan, is planned to be built in three phases. It is planned to invest in the construction of a project with an annual production capacity of 1.5 million tons of iron phosphate and 800,000 tons of lithium iron phosphate, along with related projects and facilities for the comprehensive development of phosphorus chemicals ； Plans to invest in the construction of facilities capable of producing 1 million tons per year of DMC (dimethyl carbonate), 5 million tons per year of coke, 500,000 tons per year of methanol from coke oven gas, 800,000 tons per year of synthetic ammonia, and 1 million tons per year of hydrogen peroxide. For the first phase of the project, an investment of 24.3 billion yuan is planned, to build facilities capable of producing 500,000 tons of iron phosphate, 250,000 tons of lithium iron phosphate, 2 million tons of coke, 300,000 tons of synthetic ammonia, and 300,000 tons of hydrogen peroxide per year.
