In 2024, the construction of Baotou Coal Chemical Coal-to-Olefins Upgrading Demonstration Project (with production capacity of 750,000 tonnes/year) advanced in an orderly manner.
In 2024, the coal chemical segment commenced regular inspection and maintenance of equipment as planned, enhancing its continuous and stable operation. The Group promoted the research and development of high-end coal-to-olefin products to enhance its brand competitiveness. The polyolefin products under our seven premium brands were exported to more than 20 countries with an export volume of 84.7 thousand tonnes, making a new breakthrough in our history. Major pollutants in wastewater and exhaust gas emissions fully met discharge standards, with energy efficiency leading the industry at an advanced level.
