On March 13, 2026, at the construction site of the Zhundong Economic and Technological Development Zone in Xinjiang, the roar of machinery had broken the silence of the Gobi Desert. The 1.6 million ton coal to olefin project has officially pressed the "fast forward button" for resumption of work and production. Hundreds of builders have returned to their posts, and construction drawings have been laid out in the morning light. A comprehensive construction battle has begun around the core project of the national 14th Five Year Modern Coal Chemical Demonstration Zone.

Collaboration between government and enterprises to overcome challenges

Zhundong Development Zone strengthens the mechanism of government enterprise collaboration and actively goes deep into the front line with the service efficiency of "able to handle, easy to handle, and fast to handle". All departments closely cooperate and work on-site to solve key issues such as equipment procurement and construction drawing design, clearing obstacles for the efficient progress of the project.

Reverse schedule to grab nodes

The project is closely aligned with the 2026 development goals and implements a schedule reversal management. On the premise of ensuring safety and quality, the construction unit will coordinate and deploy the construction plan, make every effort to seize the golden period of construction, and strive to build the project into an industry benchmark.

Green Innovation Tree Benchmark

The total investment of the project is 39.8 billion yuan, covering two 800000 tons/year coal to olefin sub projects of Shanneng Chemical and Dongming Plastic, with supporting green hydrogen coupling devices and carbon dioxide storage technology. This innovative practice will promote the clean and efficient utilization of coal, further improve the modern coal chemical industry chain in Zhundong, and help build a billion dollar coal chemical industry cluster.Editor/Gao Xue
