Core Viewpoint - Binzhou is leveraging its abundant coal resources to transition towards clean and efficient coal utilization, focusing on high-end chemical industries and technological innovation to enhance industrial value [1][2][5]. Group 1: Coal Resource Utilization - Binzhou has coal reserves of 3.24 billion tons and an annual coal production of approximately 30 million tons, with coal mining and washing industries accounting for 88.4% of the industrial output value in 2024 [1]. - The Binchang low calorific value coal 660 MW supercritical CFB demonstration project is a key initiative aimed at effectively utilizing coal slurry and coal gangue, reinforcing China's leading position in circulating fluidized bed power generation technology [2]. Group 2: Technological Advancements - The demonstration project utilizes the world's first supercritical circulating fluidized bed generator, achieving ultra-low emissions and energy consumption, with a coal consumption reduction of 19 grams per kilowatt-hour, saving approximately 53,200 tons of standard coal annually [1][2]. - The project is expected to cleanly convert about 1 million tons of low calorific value coal and low-quality fuels each year, while also managing 1 million tons of mine drainage water [2]. Group 3: Industry Development and Environmental Impact - The focus is on developing fine chemicals, high-end new materials, electronic chemicals, and pharmaceutical intermediates, aiming to create a modern high-end energy chemical base [2][4]. - The integration of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) projects aims to reduce carbon emissions in the chemical park, transforming carbon liabilities into carbon assets [3][4]. Group 4: Economic Growth and Investment - Binzhou has attracted 33 fine chemical enterprises, with 90% being high-tech companies, enhancing its reputation as a hub for chemical production [5]. - The city aims to establish itself as a national model for new industrialization, focusing on clean coal conversion and high-end material supply [5].
