Invest 20 Billion! The 600,000-ton Chemical Project Continues to Advance
Recently, Wang Shanquan, Member of the Standing Committee of the Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture Committee of Qinghai Province, Secretary of the Golmud Municipal Committee, and Ran Qing, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Committee and Mayor, went to Xining to discuss the progress of Qinghai Mining's 600,000-ton olefin project with the person in charge of the enterprise.
At the symposium, the two parties communicated and connected about the relevant situation of the project. According to the unified arrangement of the state party committee and state government, not long ago, 97 projects in Golmud City started to resume work, with a total investment of 52.2 billion yuan, involving industry, energy, infrastructure and other industries, promoting high-quality "four places" for Golmud City. The "first move" of construction and "two new and one heavy" construction has laid a good foundation. Golmud City will take the opportunity of the centralized resumption of the project to further focus on the main battlefield of the project, focus on excellent service and implementation, effectively solve the problem of factor resources, and ensure that the Qinghai Mining 600,000-ton olefin project will be quickly constructed, put into production, and achieve results quickly.
Wang Shanquan pointed out that in recent years, Golmud City has been striving to implement the "four places" tasks, and the construction of the sub-center city in Qinghai Province has taken off in an all-round way, creating favorable conditions for the construction of key projects such as 600,000 tons of olefins in Qinghai Mining. Previously, the government and enterprises have negotiated on the progress of the project for many times and signed relevant agreements. The project will build a world-class circular economy demonstration project base for coal chemical coupling salt chemical industry, promote the transformation and upgrading of the PVC industry, and further promote the construction of basic energy in Qinghai. And the development of recycling industry is of great significance.
In the next step, the Golmud Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government will continue to firmly establish the concept of "project is king", take precise and effective measures to promote the acceleration and expansion of investment, and build momentum and stamina for high-quality development. Make overall plans for the operation and scheduling of key industries and key enterprises, implement various support policies for stable growth, establish and improve systems such as joint project review and joint opening of through trains, and promote "approval and ice-breaking" to go deeper and more solid. Accelerate the demonstration and approval of key projects, carry out the preliminary work of the projects in detail, strengthen the coordination, smooth the docking and coordination mechanism with the provinces and states, strengthen the guarantee of funds, land, energy and other elements, and promote the major projects identified in the "14th Five-Year Plan". Implement the landing.
The person in charge of Qinghai Mining's 600,000-ton olefin project said that the progress of the relevant work will be accelerated and the project progress will be accelerated according to the content negotiated by both parties.

It uses coal resources in Haixi area as raw materials and adopts coal gasification to methanol, methanol conversion to olefins, propylene polymerization and other process technologies. It produces main products such as ethylene monomer and granular polypropylene, and petrochemical by-products such as MTBE, C4+, C5+, etc. It is expected to produce 260,000 tons/year of ethylene and 415,400 tons/year of polypropylene. Ethylene will be combined with the Salt Lake Metal Magnesium Integration Project to balance the chlorine gas by-product of the Metal Magnesium Project to produce polyvinyl chloride.
Project construction site: Kunlun major industrial base in Golmud Industrial Park, Golmud City, Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province.
The total investment of the project is 21.144 billion yuan, of which the environmental protection investment is 1.593 billion yuan, accounting for 7.5% of the total investment.
