The 25th National “Work Safety Month” in 2026: Everyone talks about safety; everyone knows how to respond to emergencies. Identify and rectify potential risks and hazards. -------------------------------------------------- I. Project Overview 1. Basic project information Construction entity: Xinjiang Tiankelong Chemical Co., Ltd. Construction location: Southern Circular Economy Industrial Park, Hami High-Tech Industrial Development Zone, Hami City, Xinjiang Nature of construction: A newly built large-scale green chemical cogeneration project Total investment: 6.168 billion yuan, of which 359 million yuan is allocated for environmental protection, accounting for 5.82% of the total investment Land area: 51.024 hectares Construction period: The planned total construction period is 24 months. This project has been selected as part of the **second batch of demonstration projects featuring advanced green and low-carbon technologies. 2. Construction scale and product plan – Annual production of 62,000 tons of hydrogen produced via water electrolysis (a green hydrogen facility operating on wind and photovoltaic power generated in Hami); annual production of 500,000 tons of green oxalamide (the largest single-unit oxalamide production facility worldwide); annual production of 800,000 tons of organic, high-efficiency slow-release fertilizer (produced by blending the self-produced oxalamide). 3. The core process route utilizes a carbon-hydrogen co-generation coupling technology: ① Gasification of dry coal powder to produce syngas; cryogenic separation is then used to obtain carbon monoxide for the production of dimethyl oxalate (DMO) ； ② Green hydrogen is produced via wind/solar-powered water electrolysis; green ammonia is synthesized by combining it with nitrogen from air separation ； ③ DMO and green ammonia are used to produce green oxamide through an ammonolysis process ； ④ Some oxamide-complexed NPK raw materials are used to produce organic, highly efficient slow-release fertilizers. The project is accompanied by the resource utilization of carbon dioxide, which helps to absorb the CO₂ emitted as a by-product from the coal chemical industry within the park, thereby achieving “using hydrogen to offset carbon”. 4. Once all the planned production facilities are in operation, the annual output value is expected to be around 5 billion yuan, with annual tax revenues of about 1.3 billion yuan; it will also create direct employment for over 1,300 people. II. Project tendering situation: The project has undergone multiple rounds of public tenders and competitive consultations since the end of 2024, covering the entire value chain including design, equipment, civil engineering, and facilities in the area in front of the plant: 1. November 2024: A tender was issued for a complete set of equipment for alkaline electrolysis-based hydrogen production with a capacity of 8000 Nm³/h, aiming to acquire key hydrogen production devices such as electrolyzers, purification systems, and power distribution control systems. 2. End of December 2024/early January 2025: Global tendering was held for the overall project design, foundation engineering design, and overall project management services; large design firms such as SDI Engineering and China Global Engineering participated in the tender and won it. 3. January–February 2026: Tendering for supporting facilities in the area in front of the factory (civil construction works for administrative office buildings, perimeter walls, warehouses, canteens, etc.); announcements regarding successful bidders will be released successively. 4. April 2026: Public tendering for the civil engineering and installation works of the process facilities in Phase 1, divided into multiple bid packages ； The third package was won by China Chemical Engineering Eleventh Construction Co., Ltd. The funds for these tenders are all raised by the enterprises themselves. The tendering platforms primarily include the China Public Service Platform for Bidding and Tendering as well as local tendering platforms in Xinjiang; at the same time, efforts continue to be made to carry out tenders for the procurement of specialized equipment for air separation, gasification, and oxalamide production facilities. III. Project Construction Status
1. Preliminary procedures: In March 2026, the Xinjiang Ecological Environment Department announced its proposed approval opinion regarding the environmental impact assessment. The construction project planning permit has been obtained, and all land-related procedures are completed. 2. Construction sequencing plan – 2025: A pivotal year for civil works; site leveling, construction of buildings in the front area of the plant, and foundation work for all major units will be initiated ； - 2026: The year of intensive equipment installation – it is planned to complete the civil work for the seven major facilities related to air separation, DMO, oxalamide, and hydrogen production by the end of the year, with large-scale equipment being delivered and installed in batches ； - Commissioning of the combined production test for the plant is planned for the end of 2026. 3. Current construction status (as of June 2026): Civil engineering work for auxiliary buildings such as office buildings and canteens in the area in front of the factory is underway ； For the first phase of the process unit, the construction and installation contractors have been selected; they are gradually arriving on site to carry out foundation and structural work ； Simultaneously carry out long-term equipment ordering. The Park Management Committee provides full-process agency and assistance services to ensure the supply of construction-related elements. IV. Significance of the Project
1. In terms of energy and the “dual carbon” goals: The project establishes a complete industrial chain comprising wind and solar-generated green electricity, green hydrogen, and low-carbon chemical processing. It utilizes Xinjiang’s surplus renewable energy to produce green hydrogen, while locally capturing and utilizing carbon dioxide from coal chemical industrial parks. This creates a new model for the combined utilization of clean coal resources and green hydrogen, significantly reducing the carbon footprint of chemical products. It provides a replicable and scalable negative-carbon demonstration pathway for high-energy-consuming industrial zones in the northwest region to cut their carbon emissions, thereby contributing to the implementation of the **“dual carbon” strategy. 2. At the industrial technology level, the world’s largest green oxamide production facility has been established. Advanced patented processes for carbon dioxide hydrogenation and dimethyl oxalate amination have been implemented, filling a domestic gap in the industry of large-scale production of slow-release nitrogen fertilizers using green hydrogen. This fosters technological iteration and upgrading within China’s industrial chains for new low-carbon fertilizers and green hydrogen equipment, while cultivating new productive forces resulting from the integration of new energy and the chemical industry. 3. In terms of modern agricultural ecology, the nitrogen utilization rate of oxamide-based slow-release nitrogen fertilizers is significantly higher than that of conventional urea. This can greatly reduce nitrogen leaching and loss, thereby minimizing agricultural non-point source pollution ； Organic, high-efficiency slow-release fertilizers can improve the soil microecosystem, help reduce the use of chemical fertilizers while maintaining stable yields, support the development of water-saving and green agriculture as well as the fruit tree industry, and ensure food security and the ecological health of arable land. 4. At the regional economic level, it makes full use of the dual advantages of Hami’s wind and solar resources as well as its concentrated coal chemical industry, extends the industrial chain of the circular economy, promotes the development of related industries such as high-end equipment manufacturing, logistics, and operation and maintenance, ensures stable employment for local workers, optimizes the product structure of Xinjiang’s chemical industry, enhances the competitiveness of regional green industries, and helps transform Xinjiang’s resource advantages into green economic advantages.
