Recently, there was another good news for major energy and chemical projects in Shaanxi Province - the large-scale coal chemical project with a total investment of 79.8 billion yuan has officially started bidding work. As the core carrier for Shaanxi Province to implement the strategy of "ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin" and promote the optimization of the energy industry structure, this project has attracted widespread attention in the industry since its debut, injecting strong momentum into the high-quality development of the energy and chemical industry in the northwest region of China.

It is reported that the project is located in the energy and chemical industry cluster area of Shaanxi Province, with a planned construction period of 5 years, covering multiple core areas such as clean and efficient conversion of coal, production of high-end chemical products, and resource recycling. After the completion of the project, it will form a production capacity of millions of tons of coal per year, with a focus on producing high-end chemical materials such as ethylene glycol, polyethylene, and polypropylene. At the same time, supporting environmental protection facilities such as waste heat power generation, sewage treatment, and solid waste resource utilization will be built to achieve a closed-loop development model of "resources products waste materials renewable resources".

From the perspective of industry development, the promotion of this project coincides with a critical period for China's coal chemical industry to transform towards "high-end, intelligent, and green". The project will adopt the current internationally leading coal classification and conversion technology, catalytic cracking process, and digital control system, significantly reducing unit product energy consumption and pollutant emissions. Its technological route is highly compatible with the national "dual carbon" goals and energy security strategies. Not only that, the project will also promote the transformation of coal resources in the region from "fuel type" to "raw material type" and "material type", effectively extending the energy and chemical industry chain, enhancing product added value, and providing replicable and promotable practical samples for the transformation and upgrading of China's coal chemical industry.

In terms of driving regional economy, the project construction period will directly create tens of thousands of job opportunities, driving the coordinated development of upstream and downstream industries such as construction machinery, building materials supply, and logistics transportation; After completion and operation, it is expected that the annual sales revenue will reach over 40 billion yuan, and the annual tax payment will exceed 5 billion yuan, which will significantly enhance the local economic strength and help Shaanxi Province build a national level energy and chemical industry demonstration base. At the same time, the project will strengthen industry university research cooperation with universities and research institutes, promote key core technology research and achievement transformation, cultivate a group of professional and technical talents in the field of energy and chemical engineering, and provide talent support for regional industrial innovation and development.

At present, the project bidding work has been officially launched through the Shaanxi Provincial Public Resource Trading Center. The bidding scope covers multiple aspects such as engineering design, equipment procurement, construction general contracting, and supervision services, attracting many large energy and chemical enterprises and engineering construction units from home and abroad to participate in the bidding. Industry insiders say that the implementation of this project will not only enhance Shaanxi Province's core competitiveness in the national energy and chemical industry, but also promote the optimized allocation of energy resources in the northwest region of China, making important contributions to ensuring national energy security and promoting regional coordinated development. Next, with the orderly progress of the bidding work, the project will enter the substantive construction stage and is expected to become a benchmark project leading the high-quality development of China's coal chemical industry.Editor/Bian Wenjun
