On February 28, the results of the bidding for Section 1 of the one-phase design project for the land preparation work of Sinopec Great Wall Energy Chemical (Inner Mongolia) Co., Ltd.’s 800,000 tons per year coal-to-olefins upgrading demonstration project were announced, with Sinopec Ningbo Engineering Co., Ltd. being identified as the winner. The project is located in the Dalu Industrial Park of the Jungar Economic Development Zone in Ordos, Inner Mongolia. The total investment amount is 22.067 billion yuan, with approximately 1.6 billion yuan allocated to environmental protection measures, accounting for 7.27% of the total project investment. The project uses coal as a raw material to produce the intermediate product methanol, which is then used to produce olefins, which are ultimately processed into polypropylene, polyethylene, and EVA. The project plans to build a coal-to-methanol plant with an annual capacity of 2.26 million tons (including units for gasification, purification, methanol synthesis, sulfur recovery, etc.), an MTO plant with an annual capacity of 2.26 million tons (including OCC), as well as polyolefin plants: a polypropylene plant with an annual capacity of 250,000 tons (loop-type), a polypropylene plant with an annual capacity of 200,000 tons (gas-phase), a polyethylene plant with an annual capacity of 350,000 tons, and an EVA/LDPE plant with an annual capacity of 100,000 tons. This also includes the air separation units and IGCC power plants that support the process facilities, as well as other supporting utility systems and auxiliary production facilities.
