The Green Coal Chemical Integration Project of Rongsheng Energy Technology (Inner Mongolia) Co., Ltd. has officially launched in the West Industrial Zone of Dalu Industrial Park, Zhungeer Banner, Ordos City. This super project with a total investment of 160 billion yuan, with a land area of 28 square kilometers, a full industry chain layout, and a deep green transformation plan, has become a milestone project in the domestic coal chemical industry.

As a comprehensive benchmark project jointly created by Rongsheng Group, Manshi Group, and Guoxing Group of Zhungeer Banner, the core of the project is to build a closed-loop industrial chain of "coal chemical new materials": planning to convert 35 million tons of raw coal annually, ultimately forming an annual production capacity of 6.5 million tons of coal based new materials. The product matrix covers more than 20 high-end chemical products such as polyolefins, special rubber, carbon fiber, etc., widely adapting to the needs of key fields such as high-end manufacturing, new energy, and infrastructure. At the same time, the project will construct a 4 billion cubic meter coal to natural gas plant and an ultra-high voltage transmission network to achieve the dual empowerment of "new material production+clean energy output" and maximize the release of industrial value.

Under the guidance of the "dual carbon" goal, this project has made a breakthrough in exploring the coupled development path of "new energy+coal chemical industry", becoming a model of green transformation in the industry. The project plans to construct a 2000MW wind solar green power plant, a 100000 cubic meter/hour green hydrogen production line, and a 450000 ton/year green ammonia project. By replacing traditional fossil fuels with green energy on a large scale, it will promote the low-carbon and clean production process of coal chemical industry, and provide replicable and promotable practical samples for the green upgrading of high energy consuming industries.

The long-term stability of raw material supply is the key support for the implementation of the project. The investor has successfully won the exploration right for the "Hadatu Well Field" surrounding the project in September 2024. The designed annual production capacity of the well field is 8 million tons, with a service life of 72 years, which will provide continuous and stable coal resource guarantee for the project. At present, the project has completed project approval and filing, and the preliminary work such as environmental impact assessment, technical design, and process demonstration is progressing in an orderly manner. The core process adopts internationally advanced coal gasification, methanol to olefin technology, and large-scale air separation units, relying on economies of scale and technological advantages to enhance core competitiveness.

According to the construction strategy of "step-by-step implementation and cascading production", the first phase of the project focuses on key equipment such as coal to butanol and acetic acid esters, with an investment scale of about 31.4 billion yuan. It is planned to start construction before May 2025 and the construction period is from July 2025 to June 2029; In 2026, the project will enter a peak period of construction, and after the overall completion and operation, it is expected that the annual industrial output value will exceed 150 billion yuan. This project will not only drive the release of a large number of local employment opportunities in Ordos, but also promote the transformation of Inner Mongolia's abundant coal resources into high-end industrial and economic advantages, help accelerate the upgrading of the regional industrial structure towards high-end, diversified, and green development, and inject strong impetus into the high-quality development of the regional economy.Editor/Bian Wenjun
