Public Notice on the Environmental Impact Registration Form for the Carbon Neutrality Project Related to the Resourceful Utilization of Green Oxygen in the Tahe Refining and Chemical Complex

Thread Content

On December 8, the environmental impact assessment form for the construction project of carbon neutrality through the recycled use of green oxygen at the Tahe Refining and Chemical Plant was made public. Construction location: No. 11, Tianshan East Road, ** County, Aksu Region, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Land area (square meters): 97,425.7. Constructor: Xinjiang Dunhua Gas Engineering Technology Co., Ltd. This project involves the renovation and expansion of a carbon capture system for flue gases from power boilers with a capacity of 100,000 tons per year, as well as the construction of a new carbon capture system for flue gases resulting from oxygen-enriched combustion in heating furnaces, with a capacity of 120,000 tons per year. Previously, Tahe Refining & Chemical had already initiated projects aimed at reducing carbon emissions. The No. 2 hydrogen production and carbon dioxide recovery unit developed in partnership with Dunhua Gas Engineering Company is capable of recovering 50,000 tons of carbon dioxide per year; the recovered liquid carbon dioxide is used for driving oil extraction in heavy oil fields, thus creating a pathway for reducing carbon emissions through \"emission generation – recovery – reuse.\" This approach, together with the **green hydrogen demonstration project, constitutes the core measures taken by Tahe Refining & Chemical to achieve carbon neutrality.
