According to State Energy Group Ningxia Coal Industry, on the afternoon of March 28, 2026, with the last bucket of concrete poured into its place and the pouring process completed, the main structure of the 35kV substation for the technological development and industrial demonstration project aimed at utilizing the exhaust gases from coal indirect liquefaction via FTO synthesis to produce LNG was successfully completed. Thus, the main structural frameworks of all buildings in the LNG project have been completed, marking the full entry of the project into the installation phase and representing a significant step forward in its construction. The LNG project is scheduled to be handed over on 8/30. The LNG production project of Ningxia Coal Group, which involves the indirect liquefaction of coal through Fischer-Tropsch synthesis using the exhaust gases from this process, primarily utilizes deep cryogenic separation to isolate the non-permeable gases present in those exhaust gases, thereby producing LNG with high added value. This approach enables the coal-to-oil project to increase LNG production by 169,300 tons per year and LPG production by 47,200 tons per year; meanwhile, by-products such as hydrogen-rich gas, mixed hydrocarbons, and fuel gas are also generated. Additionally, the coal-to-oil system can reduce carbon emissions by 200,000 tons per year. By producing LNG from Fertile Synthesis exhaust gases, the structure of coal-to-oil products is transformed from pure oil derivatives to a combination of oil derivatives and clean energy in the form of LNG, thereby achieving technological upgrades in the co-production of oil and gas from coal and promoting the high-quality development of indirect coal liquefaction technology.
