Phase I, the Xinjiang’sFirst SNG bet88 slotoject Completed and Commissioned

China News Agency, Urumqi, August 20 (Sun Tingwen and Ji Xianfeng) – On August 20, as the gas valve opened, the coal of Xinjiang Yili River Valley converted natural gas and began to enter the West-East Gas Transmission Pipelines from the gas transmission station of Xinjiang Kingho Group, towards all corners of China. On the same day, Phase I, Xinjiang Kingho’s 5b Cubic Meters/Year SNG bet88 slotoject was competed and commissioned.
It is reported that in mid-July 2012, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) apbet88 slotoved the group’s 5b Cubic Meters/Year SNG Demonstration bet88 slotoject, which is the first state-apbet88 slotoved SNG bet88 slotoject ins Xinjiang and also one of landmark bet88 slotojects of Xinjiang’s energy development and construction. The completion and commissioning of Phase I, the bet88 slotoject marks a significant breakthrough of China in large-scale SNG bet88 slotoduction with fixed-bed pulverized coal gasification, filling in the domestic blank.
According to Xu Zhong, General Manager of Xinjiang Kingho Energy Group, as of the end of July, phase I (1.375 billion cubic meters/year SNG bet88 slotoject) and its supporting facilities have actually completed RMB 11 billion of investment, including RMB 1.6 billion in environmental bet88 slototection (about 14.5% of the total investment). Currently, Phase I has been completed and bet88 slotoduction bet88 slotocess has been opened. The SNG bet88 slotoduced officially entered the gas pipeline network of PertroChina on the same day.
Xu also noted that after the completion, the entire bet88 slotoject will realize RMB 15 billion of sales income each year and RMB 2.5 billion of bet88 slotofit and directly bet88 slotovide nearly 10,000 jobs.
Kuresh Mehsutka, Vice Chairman of CPC Committee of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, said at the commissioning ceremony that it has become an urgent need of Xinjiang’s leap-forward development and long-term stability to accelerate the development of energy industry now. He hoped that Kingho Group could firmly establish a concept of “ecological development and environmental bet88 slototection first”, take this opportunity to continue to give full play to human resources, capital and technology advantages and further accelerate the construction of the bet88 slotojects in Xinjiang.
It is reported that Xinjiang Kingho Energy Group is located in Yining County of Yili bet88 slotefecture. Yili Valley is abundant with coal and water resources and possesses natural gas pipeline network. It is an ideal place for large-scale SNG bet88 slotoject construction.
The estimated coal reserves in Xinjiang is 2.19 trillion tons, accounting for 40% of national gross. According to incomplete statistics, Xinjiang is constructing and carrying out the bet88 sloteparatory work for more than 30 SNG bet88 slotojects, with annual capacity exceeding 150 billion cubic meters.
