On January 5, the Environmental Impact Assessment and Emission Management Department of the Ecology and Environment Department of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region issued a public notice regarding the decision to approve the environmental impact assessment documents for construction projects, which was to be made on January 5, 2026. Project Name: Environmental Impact Assessment Report for the Project to Adjust the Product Structure by Producing Ethanol from 600,000 tons per year of syngas. Location of Construction: Beisantai Circular Economy Industrial Park, Jimusaer County, Changji Hui Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Constructor: Xinjiang Haoyuan Chemical Co., Ltd. Preparation Unit: Xinjiang Huanyu Engineering Consulting Co., Ltd. Project Overview: This is a new construction project with an annual production capacity of 600,000 tons of ethanol. The project covers an area of 109,812 m2. It is planned to build facilities for gasification as well as for the purification and separation of CO and H2. There will also be a plant for producing 800,000 tons per year of acetic acid (an intermediate product), a plant for producing 1.2 million tons per year of ethyl acetate (another intermediate product), and a plant for producing 1.2 million tons per year of ethanol – of which 600,000 tons per year will be sold after dehydration, while the remaining ethanol will be used in the ethyl acetate production process. A coal-fired boiler with a capacity of 280 tons per hour will also be installed. In addition, utility facilities and auxiliary production facilities such as a tank farm, a circulating water station, and a desalinated water station will be built, making use of some of the existing facilities from other projects under construction. The land use type is industrial land. The total investment in the project is 3,643.05 million yuan, of which 95.99 million yuan is allocated to environmental protection measures, accounting for 2.63% of the total project investment. .
