Xinjiang Zhongtong Jirui 12 million tons/year coal differentiated utilization and co-production of LNG project. Project name: Xinjiang Zhongtong Jirui 12 million tons/year coal differentiated utilization and co-production of LNG project. Launch date: August 7, 2025. Location: Xinjiang. Industry/project type: Chemicals and pharmaceuticals/petroleum and coal-based fuel processing/modern coal chemical industry； Mineral processing/petroleum and natural gas exploration, extraction, storage, and transportation. Project owner: Xinjiang Zhongtong Jirui Energy Chemical Co., Ltd. Total investment: 170 million yuan. Current progress: Project registration completed. Location of construction: Hongshan Industrial Park, Naomaohu Economic and Technological Development Zone, Xinxing City, 13th Division of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region’s Production and Construction Corps. Scope of construction includes a coal processing plant with an annual capacity of 6 million tons, a facility for the combined production of LNG through the differentiated utilization of coal with an annual capacity of 12 million tons, a hydrogen production plant that uses pure oxygen for the continuous gasification of lignite with an annual capacity of 530,000 tons, a facility for the hydroprocessing of coal tar to produce naphtha with an annual capacity of 2.2 million tons, and a facility for the continuous reforming of naphtha to produce aromatics with an annual capacity of 1.4 million tons. It was built in two phases: Phase 1 included a coal washing plant with a capacity of 6 million tons per year and an LNG production facility that utilized coal in a differentiated manner with a capacity of 4 million tons per year; Phase 2 included another LNG production facility with a capacity of 8 million tons per year for differentiated coal utilization, a hydrogen production plant that used pure oxygen for the continuous gasification of lignite with a capacity of 530,000 tons per year, a plant for producing naphtha through the hydrogenation of coal tar with a capacity of 2.2 million tons per year, and a plant for the continuous reforming of naphtha to produce aromatics with a capacity of 1.4 million tons per year. Progress milestone: August 6, 2025 – Project registration has been approved. (Project registration)
