On March 28, the Orient Hope Group Zhundong Coal-Electricity-Chemical Integration Project, with a total investment of 19 billion yuan, officially kicked off. This is another hundred-billion-level major project launched in the first quarter in Zhundong Development Zone.

The project deeply integrates modern coal chemical industry with green electricity, green hydrogen, and other industries. It primarily employs processes such as pulverized coal pressurized gasification, purification, and methanol-to-olefins, converting approximately 6 million tons of raw coal locally each year. The main products include ethylene, propylene, butene, and liquefied petroleum gas.

It is reported that the Zhunchi East Coalfield is the largest integrated coalfield in China, with predicted coal resource reserves of 390 billion tons. Not only is the reserve abundant, but the main coal type is non-caking coal, followed by long flame coal and weak caking coal, making it an excellent coal for power generation, chemical production, and oil and gas processing.

It is understood that the East Hope Group is a large multinational private enterprise group primarily focused on heavy and chemical industries, with diversified and synergistic development in agriculture and commercial real estate. It ranked 27th in the 2024 "Top 500" list of manufacturing private enterprises in China.

Dongfang Hope Group Xinjiang Dongming Plastics Co., Ltd. 800,000-ton-per-year Coal-to-Olefins Project

Construction location: Xinjiang Zhundong Economic and Technological Development Zone Modern Coal Chemical Industry Demonstration Area

Project area: Land area is approximately 186.4 m²

Construction scale:

Producing methanol from coal, then through the MTO facility and olefin separation, polymer-grade ethylene and propylene are produced. The polymer-grade ethylene and propylene are partially sent to the PP polymerization and PE polymerization facilities to produce polyolefin products, and part of them are sent to the ethylene-propylene rubber facility to produce ethylene-propylene rubber. The setup includes 2.2 million tons per year (annual capacity) of methanol production (pure methanol equivalent) (including air separation, gasification, reforming, purification), 800,000 tons per year of methanol-to-olefins (including olefin separation), 400,000 tons per year of polypropylene, and 400,000 tons per year of polyethylene. In addition to the main products (PP, PE, and ethylene-propylene rubber), by-products such as sulfur, liquefied petroleum gas, heavy C4+, etc., are also produced.

A major olefin project has recently commenced in the Zhundong Development Zone.

On the morning of February 23, colorful flags fluttered in the air at the Huoshan Industrial Park in the Xinjiang Zhun Dong Economic and Technological Development Zone (hereinafter referred to as the Zhun Dong Development Zone), where excavators and other construction equipment were neatly arranged. The groundbreaking ceremony for the key project of the autonomous region, the Shandong Energy Yanzhou Coal Mining Xinjiang Energy Chemical Zhun Dong Coal-Chemical Integration Project, was held. The project has a total investment of 33.8 billion yuan and is being constructed by Shandong Energy Group Yanzhou Coal Mining Xinjiang Energy Chemical Co., Ltd. It includes four sub-projects: an annual production of 800,000 tons of coal-to-olefins project, the first phase of the 23 million tons per year No. 4 open-pit mine in the Wucaiwan mining area, a dedicated railway line for the Zhun Dong coal-chemical integration project, and a living center for the Zhun Dong coal-chemical integration project.
