According to recent information released by the Development and Reform Commission of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the region has announced plans to establish three large-scale coal chemical bases in the eastern part of the autonomous region. These bases are set to be located in Hulunbeier, Huolinhe, and Xilinhaote, marking a significant step in the development of Inner Mongolia's energy sector.
Liang Tiecheng, director of the commission, emphasized that the region is actively implementing the "Revitalization Plan for Northeast China" and leveraging its geographical and resource advantages in the east. The goal is to build a modern coal chemical industry base that will play a key role in the national energy strategy. This initiative aims to create a comprehensive industrial cluster around coal chemical production, focusing on methanol, dimethyl ether (DME), coal-to-gas, olefins, and fertilizers.
The development will follow the principles of "large-scale, base-oriented, and integrated" approaches, ensuring sustainable growth and efficient resource utilization. In addition, the region is promoting the demonstration of low-temperature pyrolysis projects for lignite, aiming to explore new methods for utilizing this abundant resource. By 2010, Inner Mongolia plans to achieve a methanol production capacity of 5.4 million tons, including 1 million tons of DME, and a lignite low-temperature pyrolysis capacity of 15 million tons. By 2020, the eastern part of the region is expected to become a crucial hub for modern coal chemical industries nationwide.
Currently, the Duolun County in Xilinguole League is already developing an energy and chemical industrial park. Datang International Power Generation Co., Ltd. has invested 18 billion yuan in a coal-based olefin project, which is under construction. Once operational in 2008, the facility will produce 460,000 tons of polypropylene annually, along with 240,000 tons of refined methanol, 129,500 tons of gasoline, and 66,600 tons of liquefied gas as by-products. This project is a clear example of how Inner Mongolia is transforming its coal resources into high-value chemical products, supporting both regional and national economic growth.
