Within the Qianlishan Industrial Park in Haibowan District, a grand groundbreaking ceremony was held for the “300,000-ton per year anthracene oil hydrogenation and upgrading project” of Inner Mongolia Antai Wanhe Clean Energy Co., Ltd., a project jointly developed by Inner Mongolia Yellow River Energy Technology Group and China Iron and Steel Research Group Antai Technology Co., Ltd. Those who attended the foundation-laying ceremony included Lin Tao, **Vice Mayor of Wuhai City; Hu Xuefeng, Deputy Secretary of the Haibowan District Party Committee and District Head; Yang Dongfeng, Chairman of the Haibowan District People’s Congress; Wang Peilong, Secretary of the Haibowan District Political and Legal Affairs Committee; Zhao Gen, Deputy District Head of Haibowan District and Director of the Haibowan District Industrial Park Management Committee; Yang Qingyuan, another deputy district head of Haibowan District; Wang Guangrui, Deputy Chairman of the Haibowan District Political Consultative Conference; Wang Fan, Deputy General Manager of AnTai Technology Environmental Engineering Co., Ltd. under China Iron and Steel Research Group; Guo Huijin, Assistant to the General Manager of Environmental Engineering Services; Ma Wanliang, former Chairman of Yellow River Group; Ma Wenli, Secretary of the Party Committee of Yellow River Group and General Manager of Baogang Wanteng Steel Company; Ma Wenhua, Deputy General Manager of Yellow River Group; and Wu Hongxi, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Baohua Wantchen Co., Ltd., among other leaders. The groundbreaking ceremony was presided over by Wang Haiyan, deputy director of the Management Committee of Haibowan District Industrial Park. In his speech, Zhao Gen, deputy head of Haibowan District and director of the Management Committee of the industrial park, emphasized that the Antai Wanhe project is an important outcome of Wuhai City’s efforts to encourage mixed-ownership models in enterprises and to address the issue of excess production capacity. It also represents a significant moment in the transformation and upgrading of Haibowan’s coal chemical industry. All relevant parties will do their utmost to ensure proper support and effective construction organization, so as to keep the project on schedule. Wang Fan, deputy general manager of Antai Technology Environmental Engineering Co., Ltd. under China Iron and Steel Research Group, delivered an enthusiastic speech and provided a detailed introduction to the project. Finally, amid festive music and gunshots, the leaders at the main stage together held shovels to lay the foundation for the Antai Wanhe project. The construction of Antaiwanhe’s project for the hydrogenation and upgrading of 300,000 tons of anthracene oil per year has received significant attention and strong support from the autonomous region, the city, relevant departments, as well as the party committees**. (It was listed as a key project at the autonomous region level for the period 2016–2017.) The project will build on the existing advantages of the Yellow River Group in the coal coking industry, focusing on the development of efficient and clean technologies for the comprehensive utilization of by-products resulting from coal coking, with the aim of creating a model project for such efficient and clean utilization. Its completion will accelerate the pace of transformation and development in our group, significantly enhancing the economic value of coking by-products. It can also promote the further development of a series of cooperation projects between our group and Antai Technology Company. Through mechanism innovation, new high-quality business opportunities are created to boost the sustainable development of enterprises, thereby making new contributions to the transformation and growth of the regional economy. Introduction to the 300,000 tons/year coal anthracene oil hydrogenation reforming project: This project was developed through a partnership between China Iron and Steel Research AnTai Technology Group and Yellow River Energy Group. The two parties established a joint venture in Wuhai City, which is dedicated to the research, development, and promotion of efficient and clean technologies for the comprehensive utilization of by-products from coal coking. The name of the joint venture is planned to be \"Inner Mongolia Antai Wanhe Clean Energy Co., Ltd.\". Leveraging the coal coking industry of the Yellow River Group in Wuhai, it aims to develop a demonstration project for the efficient and clean comprehensive utilization of coal coking by-products, with a total investment of over 2 billion yuan. Project investment overview: The demonstration projects planned for investment include, but are not limited to: 1. A 300,000 tons/year coal tar (anthracene oil) hydrogenation reforming unit (to be constructed in two phases) ； 2. 10-ton/hour desulfurization waste liquid salt recovery treatment unit ； 3. Demonstration Project for Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction Renovation of Coke Ovens ； 4. Demonstration Project for Energy-Saving Renovation of Steam Turbines in Self-Operated Power Plants ； 5. Full enclosure technical renovation project for coal storage yard ； 6. Invest in the construction of a 2MW photovoltaic power generation project, utilizing a closed material storage site ； 7. Baogang Wanteng Technology Upgrade and Quality Improvement Project ； 8. Demonstration Project for the Technical Transformation of Fully Automatic Intelligent Inspection Systems in Coking Plants ； 9. Hydrogen utilization demonstration projects such as the 40,000 Nm3/h coke powder hydrogen production demonstration plant and the commercial operation of hydrogen refueling stations ； 10. Industrial demonstration facilities for CO2 capture, storage, and utilization. The total investment in the aforementioned project is 2.5 billion yuan, with construction carried out in phases for incremental development. Preliminary construction: 1. 100,000 tons/year anthracene oil hydrogenation reforming unit and its auxiliary systems ； 2. Full enclosure technical renovation project for coal storage yard ； 3. Three projects, including a 10-ton/hour desulfurization waste liquid salt recovery device. The total investment for the anthracene oil hydrogenation project is 456.08 million yuan; construction is scheduled to begin in the third quarter of 2016, with operation set to start by the end of 2017 ； The total investment for the full enclosure renovation project of the coal storage yard is approximately 140 million yuan. Construction is scheduled to begin in August 2016, with completion and commissioning by the end of 2016 ； The total investment for the desulfurization waste liquid salt recovery project is approximately 30 million yuan. Construction is scheduled to begin in September 2016, with commissioning expected by early 2017.
