The construction of the Hami Energy Integrated Innovation Base Project of the National Energy Group has started
Sinochem News: On October 8th, just after the National Day holiday, the construction of the Hami Energy Integration and Innovation Base project of the National Energy Group officially started. The project is planned to have a total investment of 170 billion yuan. It will apply the second-generation coal direct liquefaction technology with self-developed core processes and independent intellectual property rights in China to promote the clean and efficient utilization of coal.
A reporter learned from the National Energy Group that the project is located in the Chahaquan Industrial Park of Hami City, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Relying on the unique oil-rich coal resources and abundant wind and solar resources in the Hami area, The overall planning and construction will be carried out in accordance with the integrated model of "coal, oil, gas, chemical, heat, electricity and new energy" and the development path of "large-scale agglomeration of basic industries, high-end upgrading of midstream and downstream industries, and innovative breakthroughs in emerging industries". Its core process adopts the second-generation coal direct liquefaction technology with independent intellectual property rights owned by the National Energy Group, as well as the new generation of coal indirect liquefaction technology and naphtha methanol coupled cracking technology independently developed in China. It simultaneously applies the coupling technology of new energy green hydrogen and coal chemical industry, and seeks new breakthroughs in demonstration projects and key core technologies to build an original technology source. Establish green and low-carbon comprehensive energy strategic emerging industries and new business forms.
It is reported that the project will be planned in a coordinated manner, implemented step by step and constructed in phases, with a total planned investment of 170 billion yuan. One of the phases will involve an investment of 90 billion yuan, with the 15 million tons/year Chahaquan No.1 open-pit Mine as the supporting coal mine, to build projects for clean and efficient utilization of coal and supporting new energy, etc. It is planned to be completed and put into operation by the end of 2027. After the full industrial chain of the project is put into operation, it can create 5,500 direct jobs and nearly 30,000 indirect jobs, thereby significantly enhancing the industrial incubation capacity of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, effectively improving the living standards of local residents, and becoming a powerful engine for high-quality regional economic development and improvement of people's livelihood.
