On April 10, 2026, a public announcement of social stability risk analysis was quietly posted on the Gobi Desert in Santanghu Industrial Park, Barkol County, Hami, Xinjiang. Middling coal Tiaohu Coal Clean and Efficient Transformation Multi energy Integration Comprehensive Demonstration Project officially surfaced, with an investment volume of 57.287 billion yuan, making this dusty land become the focus of attention in the energy circle.

Fully green electric driven coal to oil production line

The project relies on middling coal Tiaohu No.1 Mine and the surrounding coal resources, and takes the technical route of gasification, purification and Fischer Tropsch synthesis to finally produce gasoline, diesel and aviation kerosene. What sets it apart is that the entire production line will be supplied with green electricity such as wind and solar power, while also supporting large-scale green electricity hydrogen production facilities. Green hydrogen will be directly coupled with the coal gasification process to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from the source. The high carbon label of traditional coal chemical industry is being torn off by the joint efforts of green electricity and green hydrogen.

Middling coal Xinjiang Bet Multi energy Integration

The operator, middling coal Energy&Chemical Co., Ltd., is a wholly-owned subsidiary of middling coal Group in Xinjiang. Its strategic positioning is clear - to build Xinjiang into a comprehensive energy strategic guarantee base of the Group. This coal to oil project is a key component of its new coal electrification full chain layout, forming an upstream and downstream interlocking with the already put into operation Dananhu No. 7 coal mine. The drop of over 50 billion yuan will not only drive the on-site conversion of coal, but also trigger a chain reaction in the equipment manufacturing, logistics transportation, and labor market in Hami region.

Hami's two giants compete in the coal chemical industry track

It is worth noting that just a few days ago on March 31, 2026, the Mingyu Jieyuan 15 million ton coal clean and efficient utilization project, located in the Chahaquan area of Barkol County, has also started environmental impact assessment and public announcement, with a total investment of 52.474 billion yuan. Two major projects worth over 50 billion yuan are almost advancing simultaneously, and the outline of Hami as a national coal to oil and gas strategic base is becoming increasingly clear. Green electricity coupling, green hydrogen substitution, and multi energy integration - Xinjiang coal chemical industry is rewriting industry rules with new energy logic.Editor/Gao Xue
