On March 20, a tender announcement was issued for the overall design services project of the Yulin Coal-to-Clean Fuel Upgrading Demonstration Project. This project is planned to be located in the Energy and Chemical Industry Park of Jingbian Economic and Technological Development Zone. The overall plan calls for the production of 5 million tons per year of coal-based clean fuels and chemical products; initially, construction will begin on a facility capable of producing 2.4 million tons per year of coal-based clean fuels and high-end new materials. Three coal mines—Wusuhaize No. 1, Xihongdun, and Haicetan—in the Yuheng mining area will also be developed as part of this project. The initial project covers an area of 9,954 mu, with a total investment of 52.9 billion yuan. The project involves the construction of 13 process units, including 6×100,000 Nm3/h air separation units (including air compressor stations), 9×220,000 Nm3/h gasification units, 2×850,000 Nm3/h syngas purification units, 3 units for sulfur recovery with a capacity of 60,000 tons per year each, 3 units for oil synthesis with a capacity of 800,000 tons per year each, 1 unit for alkane conversion with a capacity of 900,000 tons per year, 1 unit for the production of polymethyl methacrylate (MMA-PMMA) with a capacity of 200,000 tons per year, 1 unit for polypropylene (PP) production with a capacity of 300,000 tons per year, 2 units for POE production with a capacity of 100,000 tons per unit, 2 units for ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) production with a capacity of 25,000 tons per unit, 1 unit for polybutylene succinate (PBS) production with a capacity of 30,000 tons per year, 1 unit for hydrogen production via water electrolysis with a capacity of 30,000 Nm3/h, and 1 unit for CO2 capture with a capacity of 4 million tons per year. Additionally, there are supporting utility systems, auxiliary facilities, as well as overall plant infrastructure required for these operations. On November 27, 2024, the feasibility study review meeting for the Yulin Coal-to-Clean Fuel Upgrading Demonstration Project of Shaanxi Yanchang China National Coal Group Yulin Energy Chemical Co., Ltd. was successfully held in Xi’an. The conference invited several well-known domestic chemical industry experts to review the feasibility study report prepared jointly by China Chemical Donghua Technology and Sinocat Synthetic Oil.
