• [Shenhua Baotou Coal to Olefins Upgrade Project Enters Equipment Installation Stage]
• In the vast city of Baotou, Inner Mongolia, a landmark project leading the upgrading and development of modern coal chemical industry is emerging. On December 14, 2025, with the successful hoisting and installation of the first synthesis reactor, the Shenhua Baotou coal to olefin upgrade demonstration project with a total investment of 17.15 billion yuan officially entered the installation peak period from the civil engineering stage, laying a solid foundation for the promotion of 2025 and subsequent projects. This project is an upgrade project of the world's first coal to olefin demonstration plant, with a construction scale of producing 2 million tons of methanol and 750000 tons of polyolefin annually. Its core highlight lies in the deep promotion of low-carbon transformation, exploring the integrated development path of coal chemical industry with green electricity, green hydrogen, and green oxygen through coupling with new energy, reflecting the upgrading direction of high-end and diversified industries. The project also shoulders the mission of significant technological self-reliance. It adopts a single furnace daily coal feeding 2000 ton level pulverized coal gasification technology with completely independent intellectual property rights, and for the first time tested a new process for co firing coal chemical wastewater. These innovations are not only exemplary of collaborative innovation in China's modern coal chemical industry chain, but also open up new technological routes for the green and low-carbon development of the entire industry, which has pioneering significance.

• [Yichun's nearly 6000 ton lithium carbonate technological renovation project approved]
• Against the backdrop of the rebound in demand for lithium carbonate industry, the upgrading of the industrial chain in Yichun, Jiangxi is quietly accelerating. On December 13, 2025, the Ecological Environment Bureau of Yichun City announced the proposed approval for the battery grade lithium carbonate technology renovation project of Jiangxi Huasai New Materials Co., Ltd., marking the substantive stage of a key capacity upgrade plan. This technological upgrade is located in Wanzai Industrial Park, with a total investment of 80 million yuan. By adding carbonization processes to the existing production line, the original industrial grade lithium carbonate production capacity will be upgraded to battery grade products, ultimately achieving an annual output of 5980 tons of battery grade lithium carbonate. This not only enhances the added value of the product, but also further strengthens Yichun's supply capacity as a national lithium material core base. Faced with market price fluctuations and cost pressures, multiple lithium carbonate enterprises in Jiangxi are actively promoting technological transformation. In addition to Jiangxi Huasai, companies such as Yongxing New Energy and Jiangxi Colan Intelligence have also launched production line renovations since 2025, aiming to reduce costs and increase efficiency by optimizing processes and switching raw materials. With the gradual recovery of downstream demand, the industry generally expects a mild rebound in lithium prices in the future, which also provides a key window for the continuous adjustment and upgrading of the lithium mica industry in Jiangxi.
