Development Plan for the Petrochemical and Chemical Industries (2016–2020)

Thread Content

The Plan proposes to establish ** and industry innovation platforms in key areas such as chemical new materials, fine chemicals, and modern coal chemistry. In the field of major innovations in complete sets of technologies and equipment, efforts are being made to develop complete sets of equipment for upgrading low-grade coal on a million-ton scale (through pyrolysis), large-scale pulverized coal gasifiers capable of processing 3,000 tons of coal per day or more, coal slurry gasifiers capable of processing 4,000 tons of coal per day or more, as well as complete sets of technologies and equipment for ammonia and methanol production with an annual output of over one million tons. The Plan also proposes that in areas in the central and western regions that meet the resource and environmental requirements, in conjunction with the development of large-scale coal bases, demonstrations for the engineering and industrial upgrading of key technologies in modern coal chemical industry should be carried out steadily, in accordance with environmental access standards. This approach aims to improve the efficiency of resource utilization and environmental protection, enhance the competitiveness of related facilities, and promote the clean and efficient use of coal resources.
