(Original title: Coal Chemical Industry: Focusing on the Development of a Modern Coal Chemical Base in Northern Shanxi) “What Will Shanxi’s Industry Do During the 13th Five-Year Plan Period?” “During the 13th Five-Year Plan period, our province will accelerate the development of a modern coal chemical base in northern Shanxi, with an emphasis on advancing key industrial clusters in this sector, such as the Datong Zuo Yun Economic and Technological Development Zone, the Datong Tasan Circular Economy Park, the Yanggao Longquan Industrial Park, the Shuozhou Shanyin Coal Chemical Park, the Xinzhou Coal Chemical Circular Economy Park, and the Xinzhou Wuzhai Modern Coal Chemical Park.” ”Yan Lin, deputy director of the Investment and Planning Department at the Provincial Economic and Information Commission, told reporters. 　　It is reported that the industrial scale of the Northern Shanxi Modern Coal Chemical Industry Base is as follows: the production capacity for coal-to-natural gas is 11 billion m3 per year; the production capacity for coal-based synthetic oils is 3 million tons per year; the production capacity for coal-to-olefins and subsequent processing is 1.8 million tons per year each; and the production capacity for coal-to-aromatics and subsequent processing is 600,000 tons per year. Major projects include: coal-to-natural gas projects with a production capacity of 2 billion cubic meters per year or more (but not including 2 billion cubic meters), coal-to-olefins and related downstream projects with a capacity of 600,000 tons per year or more, coal-to-oil projects that also produce refined products with a capacity of 1 million tons per year or more (but not including 1 million tons), methanol-to-gasoline projects with a capacity of 1 million tons per year or more, coal-to-aromatics and related downstream projects with a capacity of 600,000 tons per year or more, and synthetic gas-to-ethylene glycol projects with a capacity of 200,000 tons per year or more. 　　Coal chemical industry is a key industry in our province; the province currently has an ammonia synthesis capacity of 6.5 million tons, ranking third in the country ； The fertilizer production capacity is 12 million tons, of which the urea production capacity is 10 million tons, ranking second in the country ； The methanol production capacity is 5.5 million tons, ranking fifth in the country ； Luan Group and Jinmei Group have respectively built demonstration plants for coal-to-oil and methanol-to-gasoline (MTG) production, and are actively developing industrial projects on a million-ton scale ； The Yangmei Group’s project for annual production of one million tons of ethylene glycol (Phase I), the Xiyang chlor-alkali project, and the chemical new materials park have been basically completed ； Tongmei Group has completed a 600,000 tons per year methanol production project. 　　“During the 13th Five-Year Plan period, relying on its resource endowments and industrial foundation, and in line with the requirements for the low-carbon development of high-carbon industries, our province will advance a new model of coal chemical transformation characterized by \"differentiation by quality and grade, integration of energy production and chemical processing, and integrated co-production.\" It will pursue the scientific development of modern coal chemicals, strengthen traditional coal chemical industries, and vigorously promote the development of coal-based fine chemicals and new chemical materials. 　　In the development of modern coal chemical industry based on scientific principles, the approach will be to make use of coal in a manner that takes into account its different quality levels. There will be a shift from producing fuels and raw materials to manufacturing various materials. Priority will be given to the large-scale production of new materials such as olefins, aromatics, and ethylene glycol from coal (methanol). The production of energy-related products like coal-based oil and gas will be developed in a steady and moderate manner. Additionally, efforts will be encouraged to produce fine chemicals through the combined utilization of coking coal and coal gas. Promote the development of existing production capacities in areas such as traditional coal chemical industry in a direction that meets market demands, and encourage their concentration in key, competitive enterprises ； Existing coal chemical enterprises are encouraged to increase investment in technological upgrades, accelerate the adoption of new technologies, materials, processes, and equipment, phase out outdated production capacities, and rapidly develop the capacity to produce high-end products, thereby promoting the optimization and upgrading of traditional industries. Increase research on fundamental industry technologies and processes, build up technical reserves, and make breakthroughs in a number of core, common, and key technologies. Priority will be given to supporting the development and demonstration of 30 technology projects across 6 innovation chains, including coal gasification, syngas chemistry, methanol and its downstream products, benzene and its downstream products, acetylene chemistry, and fine chemicals. 　　By 2020, the main business revenue of enterprises above a certain scale across the industry is expected to reach around 150 billion yuan, with more than 50 million tons of coal being converted and utilized each year.
