The 25th National “Safety Production Month” in 2026: Everyone talks about safety; everyone knows how to respond to emergencies. Identify and rectify potential risks and hazards. -------------------------------------------------- I. Project Overview Project name: Changzhi 5-million-ton steel, coking, and hydrogen integration demonstration base project Investor: Jinding Iron & Steel Group Coal Coking Co., Ltd. Total investment: 3 billion yuan (planned estimate) Location: Changzhi City, Shanxi Province (Xiangyuan-Lucheng Coking Industry Cluster Area) Project positioning: A provincial-level key project in Shanxi Province for the year 2026; a green and low-carbon demonstration base integrating steelmaking, coking, new chemical materials production, and hydrogen generation. Core scale: An annual steel production capacity of 5 million tons, complemented by large-scale coking, chemical processing, and hydrogen production facilities utilizing coke oven gas, thereby establishing a full industrial chain recycling system encompassing “steel–coking–chemicals–hydrogen”. II. Tendering and procurement status (as of 2026-06-11) ▸ Overall phase: Preliminary procedures were initiated in April 2026; the project is currently in the stages of planning and feasibility study, as well as environmental and energy impact assessments, and has not yet entered the stage of tendering for large-scale construction. ▸ Pilot supporting projects (already tendered/signed): The project to produce 200,000 tons of LNG and high-purity hydrogen from coke oven gas (a related supporting project). With a total investment of 1.21 billion yuan, construction commenced on March 28, 2026. EPC general contracting: SEDIN Engineering Co., Ltd. (contract signed in April 2026). Construction contents: coke oven gas purification, methanation, cryogenic LNG production, and PSA purification for high-purity hydrogen. Construction period: 14 months, with production expected to begin in May 2027. For the 2.7 million-ton coke oven technical renovation project, the preliminary design review was completed in April 2026, and tenders for related equipment and construction have been launched successively. III. Construction Progress (as of June 11, 2026) ▸ Main Base: Construction has not yet officially commenced. Efforts are currently focused on land leveling, geological surveys, feasibility studies, and approval procedures, while also coordinating with plans for smart and low-carbon designs. ▸ The accompanying hydrogen production project (Lucheng Economic Development Zone) has commenced. Currently, pile drivers have arrived on site and civil foundation construction is underway; equipment ordering and prefabrication are being advanced concurrently. IV. Significance of the Project: Industrial transformation – Facilitate the upgrade of the traditional coal and coke industry from a high-carbon model to a green, low-carbon, and hydrogen-integrated one, thereby setting an example for the transformation of coal-based industries in southeastern Shanxi. Efficient use of resources: Coke oven gas is transformed from waste into a valuable resource, enabling the annual production of high-purity hydrogen and LNG. This approach significantly reduces emissions and increases the added value of these resources, contributing to the achievement of the \"dual carbon\" goals. The hydrogen energy industry chain is well-developed; low-cost by-product hydrogen is simultaneously supplied to the hydrogen-based shaft furnaces in the steel industry and the fuel cell market, thereby addressing the regional shortfall in clean energy supply. Economy and Employment: Once completed, the base is expected to generate an annual output value exceeding 10 billion yuan, creating thousands of jobs ； The accompanying LNG/hydrogen production project generates an annual output value of 1 billion yuan and profits and taxes of 150 million yuan. The regional strategy supports the development of Shanxi as a “Hydrogen Valley of China”, accelerating the energy revolution in Changzhi and the cultivation of new productive forces.
