Recently, the project command center for the China Coal Yulin Coal Deep Processing Base held a meeting to focus efforts and mobilize staff for resuming work, outlining the key requirements of \"concentrating efforts, returning to tasks, ensuring safety, and improving quality\" in order to set a practical tone for resuming work after the holiday. As of March 4, 92% of the installation of process equipment across the plant has been completed, 91% of the welding of process pipelines has been finished, and 91% of the electrical tray installation is complete ； The two 110kV substations for air separation and chemical processing are ready to receive power, and the sulfur recovery unit is scheduled to be completed by March. Next, the second-phase coal chemical project command team will focus on the goals of completing all construction tasks by August and starting operations as scheduled in December. It will uphold strict safety standards, ensure high project quality, and strengthen coordination among the participating units, making every effort to advance key tasks such as pipeline welding, cable laying, oil transportation testing, and project handover. It will also accelerate the bidding process for projects related to hydrogen production via water electrolysis and carbon extraction from ash and slag. The feasibility study estimate for the China Coal Yulin Coal Deep Processing Base project indicates an investment of 23.888 billion yuan. The project is located in the southern area of the Energy and Chemical Industry Zone in the Yuheng Industrial Area of Yulin City, Shaanxi Province, with a designed production capacity of 2.2 million tons of methanol per year and 900,000 tons of polyolefins per year. Using sea coal as raw material, and employing technologies such as AP (GE) water-coal slurry semi-reflow gasification technology and third-generation methanol-to-olefins technology, one EVA plant and three polyolefin plants will be constructed to produce a range of high-end polyolefin products. The main units of the project include air separation, gasification, purification, sulfur recovery, methanol synthesis, MTO, olefin separation, 3 polyolefin units, and 1 EVA unit, among others. Completion of construction and commissioning are expected by mid-2026. Once the project is put into operation, it will effectively promote local economic and social development as well as the optimization and upgrading of the industrial structure; during peak periods, it can create employment opportunities for tens of thousands of people. By then, China Coal Shaanxi Company will further enhance the new advantages of its role as the leading enterprise in the industrial chain, promote the development of coal chemicals in a direction toward higher quality, greater diversity, and lower carbon emissions, as well as foster integrated development of coal, coal-fired power, and new energy sources, thereby creating a robust industrial and value chain.
