Despite its vast territory and rich resources, China has a large population and is facing a shortage of resources. The construction of coal-to-oil projects is an effective measure taken to alleviate the shortage of oil and gas resources in China. On May 8, 2020, the 2 million ton / year indirect coal liquefaction demonstration project of Inner Mongolia Yitai Coal-to-Liquids Co., Ltd., which has been well-reported by the industry, was fully started. The special meeting was held in Dalu Industrial Park, Ordos City. The total investment of the project is 29.07 billion yuan. It is built on the basis of the first phase of 160,000 tons. It is a coal indirect liquefaction industrialization demonstration project submitted to the state for approval during the “13th Five-Year Plan” period of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

 According to the introduction of the person in charge, the project received the “Response Letter for the Preliminary Work of the Indirect Mongolia Coal Indirect Liquefaction Demonstration Project in Inner Mongolia” by the General Office of the National Development and Reform Commission at the end of 2013. In 2015, the General Office of the National Development and Reform Commission issued the “Review Opinions on the Energy Conservation Evaluation Report of the Inner Mongolia Yitai Coal-to-Liquids Co., Ltd. 2 Million Tons / Year Indirect Coal Liquefaction Demonstration Project” (Faigaoban Huanzi [2015] No. 2659). It is said that the project has passed the review of the national energy-saving assessment report in principle. On July 13, 2016, the project was officially approved by the Ministry of Environmental Protection's environmental assessment.

The project started construction in June 2017. At present, a total investment of 903 million yuan has been completed, and it is expected that it will enter the full construction phase in the second half of 2020.

Han Tao pointed out that it is of great significance to accelerate the promotion of Yitai ’s 2 million tons coal-to-oil project, which is related to the national energy strategic security and the high-quality development of regions and enterprises. As always, the park will provide high-quality and efficient services for enterprise development and project construction, go all out to ensure project progress, actively help solve difficulties and problems encountered in project construction, and strive to create a good environment for enterprise development. At the same time, it is hoped that enterprises will further strengthen their development confidence, work together and advance together, and strive to complete the project as soon as possible.

The project plans to use high-temperature FT synthesis technology with an annual output of more than 2 million tons of oil products. The main products are 1.44 million tons of diesel oil, 400,000 tons of naphtha, 160,000 tons of LPG, and 100,000 tons of LNG, and by-products of mixed alcohol and sulfur Wait.
