Background on Project
China Petrochemical Corporation subsidiary Sinopec Great Wall Energy and Chemical Co. (长城能源化工有限公司) proposed a coal-methanol-olefins (MTO) project in Zhijin County since 2010. The MTO project received environmental clearance in February 2017,[1] after being rejected by the MEPC in February 2016.[2]
The ¥52 billion (US$7.88 billion) Zhijin Cogen power station is a planned captive co-generating plant to power the project. Zhijin Biyun Energy Company, the subsidiary of Sinopec, is the sponsor of the power plant. The original plan was to build two 150 MW subcritical units, but the proposed capacity increased to 2 x 350 MW supercritical units in 2015. The power plant received environmental clearance in 2015,[3] and is waiting for final approval from the provincial DRC, which was received in July 2018, along with the coal-methanol project.[4]
Planet satellite photos from July 2017 to March 2018 show land clearing.
The power station received its permit in October 2019.[5]
In February 2021, plans for a plastic producing chemical MTO plant were cancelled, although other industrial plans remained, including for new captive power capacity.[6]
In 2021, the plant was listed in the provincial 14th Five-Year Plan.
