On August 30, the groundbreaking ceremony for the system engineering of Shenhua Baotou Coal-to-Olefins Upgrade Demonstration Project was held in the industrial park of Jiuyuan District. The key leaders of the construction, supervision, and general contracting companies attended the groundbreaking ceremony. As a benchmark project for the iterative advancement in the field of coal-based olefins, this project not only serves as a key mechanism to drive the regional chemical industry toward a transformation from traditional manufacturing to higher-value, more sophisticated production methods, but it also bears the important mission of exploring green and low-carbon pathways for chemical production and improving the efficient and clean utilization of coal resources. Upon completion, the project will inject strong momentum into the development of the local high-end chemical industry cluster, contributing to the creation of a more competitive modern industrial system. At the ceremony, Project Manager Cheng Kai spoke on behalf of the project team, declaring that a specialized task force would be established immediately to detail the construction milestones using a \"task-tracking and schedule-based advancement\" approach, ensuring the project progresses efficiently and on schedule ； At the same time, we adhere to the highest industry quality standards, establish a comprehensive control mechanism covering material selection, construction, and inspection, and strive to create high-quality projects with excellent standards ； We always adhere to the principle of \"safety first,\" fully implement safety responsibilities for all employees, strengthen risk control at the site, and rely on the \"Iron Army spirit of Sinochem Second Construction\" to build a solid safety barrier, ensuring the smooth and orderly progress of the project. The Shenhua Baotou Coal-to-Olefins Upgrade Demonstration Project is located in the Jiuyuan Industrial Park in Baotou City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. It was invested and constructed by Guoneng Baotou Coal Chemical Co., Ltd., with a total investment of 17.15 billion yuan. Upon completion of the project, Guoneng Baotou’s methanol production capacity will increase to 3.8 million tons per year, while its polyolefin production capacity will rise to 1.35 million tons per year. The project will enable the conversion of 7.8 million tons of coal per year, with an estimated annual output value of 6 billion yuan; it will also create 1,000 jobs.
