Modern coal chemical industry, represented by coal-to-oil, coal-to-gas, coal-to-olefin, coal-to-aromatics, coal-to-ethylene glycol, coal-to-ethanol, etc., has become a basic chemical industry system with Chinese characteristics. After two or three decades of sustained development, in the “Golden Triangle of Energy” as the core of the vast central and western regions, has fostered the formation of a spectacular modern coal-based energy chemical industry system.

At present, the further development of modern coal chemical industry, or the high-quality development of coal chemical industry in the new era, in addition to several major basic industries themselves to strengthen the foundation of the quality of the solid, accelerate to coal-based fine chemicals and new materials to further extend the chain to supplement the chain, expand and enrich the network of coal chemical industry with Chinese characteristics of the map, is an extremely critical center of the work. China's modern coal chemical industry's second venture, has quietly arrived, and innovation and talent, is becoming a dangerous obstacle before the industrial transformation and upgrading plan. Local people to solve local things localized ideas, give full play to Xi'an Jiaotong University, Northwest University of Technology, Lanzhou University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences in the west of the relevant research institutes and other local backbone of science and education resources, to explore the depth of the integration of industry and education of the new model of the new way, well-designed, concerted efforts to attack the innovative research and development and industrialization of coal-based fine chemicals can ultimately break out of the modern coal chemical industry of China's 2.0 a better prospect will become a reality. Reality.

Coal chemical industry has tended to take shape

Since entering the new century, China's “Golden Triangle of Energy” as the core, the development of modern coal chemical industry layout into the fast lane, which has experienced ups and downs, but the overall direction of bigger and stronger to stride forward. In terms of the six major directions of modern coal chemical industry, in addition to coal aromatics is still in the initial stage of industrialization, coal to oil, coal to gas, coal to olefin, coal to ethylene glycol, coal to ethanol have been successfully industrialized, and has formed a considerable industrial scale, which has become a modern chemical industry system with Chinese characteristics different from the other major chemical industry countries in the world, playing an important role in supplementing and enriching the world's chemical industry system. It has played an important role in supplementing and enriching the world's chemical industry system.
First of all, after more than 20 years of continuous exploration and research, China has not only built a number of foreign indirect coal liquefaction plants, but also developed China's unique direct coal liquefaction technology, and successfully realized the industrialization of the layout. The range of coal-to-liquids products has gradually expanded from gasoline, kerosene and diesel to more than ten kinds of specialty oils, fine waxes and alpha olefins, and continues to be enriched and expanded. In addition, the high water consumption and high carbon emission of coal-to-oil, which has been widely criticized and become the sword of Damocles for industrial development, has achieved one new record after another through continuous innovation and upgrading. For example, the water consumption of coal direct liquefaction per ton of oil has dropped from over 10 tons initially to less than 5 tons now. In terms of carbon emission reduction, the 100,000 tons/year CCS demonstration project implemented by Shenhua Group in Erdos has been successful for many years, providing support for the implementation of the next million-ton CCS and CCUS projects. Shaanxi Coal Group Yulin Chemical Company located in Yulin, Shaanxi Province is constructing a 400,000 tons/year CCS project, which is the pilot test project of its 4 million tons/year CCS demonstration project. Currently, Yucarbon 1 and Yucarbon 2 wells have been drilled and completed, and the main body of the ground unit's civil construction is basically completed, and the secondary structure and installation works are underway, and the carbon dioxide test injection is expected to be realized by the end of 2024. The 10,000 tons/year carbon dioxide aromatic hydrocarbon demonstration project built by Jutai Group in Erdos, Inner Mongolia, is about to be completed and put into operation, and has become a pioneering model project for the capture and reuse of carbon dioxide in China. Looking back to the past and into the future, China's coal-to-oil and even the entire coal chemical industry will not only become a model of high quality and high efficiency, but also become a bright business card of green and low-carbon new industrialization.

The development of coal to olefin industry is beyond the initial expectations of many people and even coal chemical industry practitioners. 2024 the end of the coal chemical industry came from the news, Baofeng Energy 4 million tons / year coal to olefin the first series of 1 million tons / year production line was recently completed and put into operation in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, which is the first production line of the world's largest coal to olefin project, which is the construction of the hundreds of billions of dollars to spend the first production line. The project is not only grand in scale, with equipment localization rate as high as 98%, but also excellent in technology, adopting the most advanced DMTO-Ⅲ technology of Dalian Institute of Chemical Technology, with methanol consumption per ton of olefin products further reduced to 2.65 tons, once again setting a new record for the lowest consumption in the industry. In addition, this project is also the only project in the world to produce olefin by replacing fossil energy with green hydrogen on a large scale, supplementing the green hydrogen produced by photovoltaic into the production of olefin from coal to olefin, thus eliminating the inherent disadvantages of coal chemical industry of “too much carbon, too little hydrogen, and carbon/hydrogen imbalance”, wading out a bright path for the low-carbon or even zero-carbon development of coal chemical industry, and also showing the potential of the integration of coal chemical industry and new energy development. It also shows the infinite prospect of the integration of coal chemical industry and new energy.
Coal-to-gas, coal-to-glycol and coal-to-ethanol industries have also realized significant development, and have become important additions to China's and even the global chemical industry. We would like to focus on the coal-to-aromatics industry, which has just started industrialization. This is a basic industry category called “the last bastion” of China's coal chemical industry. As an important intermediate raw material, aromatics can be derived from a rich industrial chain of fine chemicals and new chemical materials, creating conditions and possibilities for China's coal chemical industry to grow into a rich industrial category and industrial system like petrochemical industry in the future.

In addition to the physical extraction of coal tar aromatics, chemical synthesis method of coal aromatics of the five major processes, have been developed in China, some of which have reached the conditions of large-scale industrialization and application. Specifically: First, coal gasification methanol re-aromatization technology, which is one of the main coal aromatics process. Raw coal through the coal gasification process to produce syngas, and then synthesize methanol, and then through the methanol to aromatics (MTA) technology to generate aromatics.MTA technology is the key controlling technology of the whole process, but is not yet mature.

Second, coal gasification to methanol and then aromatization and separation and conversion technology, this process involves coal gasification, methanol synthesis, aromatization and aromatics separation and conversion steps. Coal to methanol and aromatics separation and conversion technology has been mature, but the industrialization of methanol to aromatics technology is not yet fully mature.

Thirdly, coal gasification to produce methanol and then oxidized to produce terephthalic acid (PTA) technology. Coal through coal gasification to generate syngas, then synthesize methanol, through methanol to aromatics (MTA) to generate paraxylene (PX), and further oxidation to generate PTA. PTA is an important raw material for the production of polyester.

Fourth, coal gasification to methanol and then disproportionation reaction to generate PX technology. This process on the basis of MTA technology, through the disproportionation reaction to generate PX, and further oxidation to produce PTA. The above four processes are still immature, and there is still a certain distance from industrialization.

The fifth is fluidized bed methanol to aromatics (FMTA) technology. Developed by Professor Wei Fei's team at Tsinghua University, this process uses acidic molecular sieve catalysts to achieve high conversion and aromatics yield through fluidized bed process. The technology avoids the problem of catalyst carbon deactivation, has high hydrothermal stability, and is ready for large-scale industrialization.

Just recently, Shaanxi Yulin Energy Group issued a news release saying that the review meeting of the feasibility study report of Yulin Energy Group's coal clean conversion to million-ton aromatics and polyester fiber integration project was held in Beijing. After review, the expert group agreed that the project meets the requirements of national industrial access policy and the development direction of modern coal chemical industry, and is of great significance for guaranteeing the national energy security and the stability of industrial chain supply chain, promoting the transformation and upgrading of industries in the western region, and promoting the acceleration of Yulin to create a national energy revolution innovation demonstration zone. The project will adopt the innovative R&D FMTA technology, which is the first on-the-ground validation of the million-ton scale large-scale industrialization of this technology.
Through the evolution of the above six modern coal chemical process routes briefly, it is easy to see, with Chinese characteristics of the main framework of the modern coal chemical industry and industrial structure has been basically shaped, with the industry “foundation” tamping basically complete, ten thousand feet high building from the ground, the coal chemical industry, “Mansion The time is ripe for the construction of the “building”, China's modern coal chemical industry 2.0 era announced the arrival of transportation.

Coal-based fine chemicals is the only way to turn up

China's modern coal chemical industry 2.0 era, the surface of the presentation is high-quality development, the kernel is to extend the chain, supplement the chain, strong chain, the basic coal chemical industry into the deep water, grow and strengthen the high-end coal chemical industry, including coal-based fine chemicals and coal-based new materials. The future development of coal chemical upgrading road, in addition to the basic industry to further reduce costs and increase efficiency, promote low-carbon green development, and explore the coal chemical industry and the western region of the new energy of wind and hydrogen in the depth of the fusion and industrial model reshaping, the only remaining imagination is actually only to the coal-based fine chemicals and new materials to expand, the industry has been quite a general consensus.

Ningdong energy chemical base is the western coal chemical industry of the dragon place, early start, large scale, and the most extensive impact. As the “No. 1 Project” of the region built by the government of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region for 20 consecutive years, NINGDONG Base has consistently expanded and strengthened the coal chemical industry, becoming the first chemical park in the western region with an output value of more than 100 billion yuan, and the total industrial output value will reach 187.2 billion yuan in 2023, accounting for 28.4% of the total volume of Ningxia, and has been ranked among the top 30 chemical parks in China for consecutive years. It has also been ranked among the top 30 chemical parks in China for many years. Up to now, the 4 million tons/year coal indirect liquefaction oil project with the largest single scale in the world has been successfully put into production and operated stably in the park, and 4.2 million tons/year coal-based olefin capacity, 150,000 tons/year spandex capacity and 10,500 tons/year aramid capacity have been built, with the installed capacity of thermal power reaching 17,350,000 kilowatts, the new energy capacity of 6,030,000 kilowatts, and the outgoing power reaching 12,000,000 kilowatts, and the green hydrogen With a production capacity of 22,100 tons/year, the solid foundation of the industrial platform has laid a good foundation for the extension of the industrial chain and the upgrading of the industrial level in the next step.

In addition to the advantages of large volume and thick foundation, the disadvantages of the development of Ningdong Base are also obvious, mainly reflected in the single level of industrial structure, favoring heavy chemical industry and basic industry, and the fine chemical industry with differentiated characteristics and high technology and high value-added industries is still very weak and is still in the initial stage of development. We see that in recent years, Ningdong Base has undertaken a lot of eastern regions have to transfer the APIs, dyes, spices, pesticides, rubber chemicals and intermediates and other projects, although these projects also belong to the scope of the fine chemical industry, but the development of the Ningdong Base of these industries and no special competitive advantage, and the base of the leading coal chemical industry can not form the link through the industrial chain, for the construction of solid and strong high energy, high value industry chain is actually not significant. The significance of constructing a solid and strong high-energy and high-value industrial chain is actually not great. The upgrading and advanced development of Ningdong Base should give full play to its own comparative advantages, maintain the strategic determination of “taking only one dipper of the three thousand weak waters to drink”, rely on the basic coal chemical industry to dig deeper along the industrial chain, extend and supplement the chain and strengthen the chain, and take coal as the basis, energy and chemical and make progress, make the coal-based fine chemical industry and the new material industry bigger and stronger, and strive to become the world's most diversified and structurally diversified coal chemical industry chain, with the richest and the most diversified industrial chain. We will strive to become an industrial highland with the richest industrial chain, the most diversified structure, the most intensive technology and the highest added value in the world.
Because the industrial structure is single and biased in favor of the basic, the production of “road goods” more, such as coal-to-oil, coal-to-olefin, coal-to-ethylene glycol, coal coking, etc. are basically saturated or even excess capacity in the field of the current market competition has long been white-hot, and has a “NINGDONG” brand Characteristics of differentiated high-end products less, will inevitably result in the market competition in the flow and follow the market. The scale of production value is large, but the economic efficiency is low, anti-risk ability is relatively weak, which has become the reality of the pain of Ningdong, has reached a critical stage where major changes must be made. It is also based on this, NINGDONG base in line with the trend of blowing the horn of the “second venture”, and one of the main attack direction is to extend the chain to make up for the strong chain, relying on the existing coal chemical industry foundation, bigger and stronger coal-based fine chemicals and coal-based new materials industry chain, in a higher level of technology and value to participate in the national and even the global chemical industry competition. Competition

Yulin City in Shaanxi Province, another pole of the “Golden Triangle of Energy”, is facing the same reality and has made the same choice of industrial transformation and upgrading. Yushen Industrial Zone is the leading position of industrial development in Yulin City, with a total output value of 100.97 billion yuan in 2023, crossing the 100 billion mark for the first time, but there are the same problems of short industrial chain, traditional products and low added value, and weak risk-resistant ability. Based on this, Yulin City has made some exploration, Shaanxi Coal Group Yulin Chemical Company was established in Yulin opened the extended chain to complement the chain of development and growth of coal-based fine chemicals and coal-based new materials industry to explore the prelude, can be called the first to eat crabs breakers. Its effectiveness has also been initially apparent, this year, the basic traditional chemicals market is very sluggish, practitioners generally poor efficiency, but the first phase of the project to reach production of Yulin Chemical is bucking the trend of growth, as of the end of this year's November total profit exceeded 1 billion yuan, a record high, fully demonstrating that from the low-energy level of homogeneous competition into the high-energy level of the differentiation of the competition of the ideas from the concept of the practice are feasible, but also has the necessity to be carried out.

The above mentioned Yulin Group invested in the clean conversion of coal into one million tons of aromatic hydrocarbons and polyester fiber integration project, is also under this conceptual thinking out of the box. As the main platform for the development of energy and chemical industry in Yulin, Yuneng Group believes that the construction of coal clean conversion system of one million tons of aromatic hydrocarbons and polyester fiber integration project will further enhance the correlation between the chemical projects within the enterprise, and accelerate the formation of the “vertical correlation, horizontal coupling, green and low-carbon, synergistic and efficient” Yuneng characteristics. Hundred-billion fine chemical industry cluster is a big and good thing that benefits both the enterprise itself and the construction of Yulin industrial chain and the development of industrial clusters.

In short, in line with the laws of global chemical industry development and the new situation of industrial competition, accelerate the extension of the chain to make up for the chain and strengthen the chain, the development and growth of coal-based fine chemicals and coal-based new materials industry has become the general consensus of China's coal chemical industry, and can not be delayed, the time is not too late. China's coal chemical industry 2.0 era, backed by the historical curtain of industrial quality development and exploration of new industrialization, will be a protracted but also more brilliant and splendid magnificent chapter.
Transformation and upgrading constrained by innovation and talent

Clear direction, ideal, but the reality is still “bone”. Thousands of articles, people are the first, anything is a person to do, but also by people out of the dry. Western coal chemical industry cluster transformation and upgrading development of coal-based fine chemicals and new materials industry, the current biggest blocking point is precisely in the “people” this link, difficult to innovate, stuck in the people.

Fine chemical industry is the development of today's chemical industry is the strategic focus of the chemical industry is also one of the most dynamic and potential of the emerging field, but the development of fine chemical industry is traditionally a large number of high-level innovative talent as a support, because there are many types of fine chemicals, each product technology content and threshold are relatively high, and even a number of products in the world belongs to the “one and only one, no other”, “no other”. There are even many products in the world belongs to the “only one, no other” exclusive confidentiality. Therefore, to develop fine chemical industry on a large scale, without attracting and retaining a good ecological atmosphere, to form a climate is inconceivable. The eastern seaboard region has become China's fine chemical development of the concentration, in addition to the local close to the core consumer market of fine chemicals, but also have the required concentration of innovative talents, innovative resources are rich in unique conditions.

According to Ningxia University, a chemical industry professor “spit”: even if the “Golden Triangle of Energy” in the only back of the capital city of Ningdong region, now the same attraction, it is difficult to retain excellent high-level innovative talent, local doctoral talent is currently only a dozen, and Scattered in different fields, such a talent configuration, how can support the Ningdong “second venture”? This situation also exists in Yulin and Ordos, although the local economic and social development has made rapid progress, but high-level scientific and creative talents need the “nest” is diversified and three-dimensional, the western region in the first-class R & D platforms, innovation resources channels, living facilities and even the social and cultural atmosphere and other hardware and software attraction for the “phoenix” people. “Phoenix” are still not strong. Outstanding talents are not attracted to come and stay for a long time, this problem is not cracked, to create a hot spot for industrial innovation and the world's coal-based fine chemical industry highland of the beautiful vision, it may be difficult to continue.

Ningdong's pain points, not the “Golden Triangle of energy” and even the entire western region coexist bottlenecks. High-quality development must be driven by innovation, focusing on the development of a number of high-precision technology and products, cultivate and strengthen the new quality of productive forces, but the local scientific research capacity and technological innovation capabilities and fine chemical industry must accelerate the development of the reality of the needs of the gap between the existence of a large number of insufficient innovation capabilities and the root cause of the lack of innovative talents and high-tech complex talents, the lack of high-level innovative talent is also rooted in the reality of local! The environment and conditions are still lack of attraction, the logic of interlocking, into a dead end general negative feedback loop.
In the 1.0 stage of coal chemical development, the western region to solve the technical “desert island” problem, generally take is fetishism, the eastern economically developed regions and even the world's mature technology, collectively imported and tried. Shell's coal gasification technology, South Africa's Sasol's coal-to-oil technology, domestic coal direct liquefaction of oil and coal-to-natural gas technology, Japan's coal-to-ethylene glycol technology, and so on, can be called the “universal brand”. After more than 20 years of practical verification, this kind of fetishism seems to work, after all, the evolution of the industry is very convincing.

However, it should be noted that the old experience, new problems, the original path is now likely to go nowhere. The basic chemical industry often requires platform-type mass technology, while the fine chemical industry is more in need of highly differentiated, customized niche technology. Platform-type mass technology can be imported, buy now, but niche technology is more suitable for self-research and self-use, a niche technology supply channels would have been very few, the second niche technology often has a high degree of environmental conditions specificity and limitations, there is no one-size-fits-all template. For example, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, innovative research and development of coal-based olefin DMTO technology belongs to a typical platform-type key technologies, has been licensed to land in the country more than 30 sets of industrial units, olefin production capacity of more than 20 million tons / year, is expected to pull investment of more than 400 billion yuan, all put into operation after the annual output value of more than 200 billion yuan. But if it is extracted from coal tar commercialized high-purity naphthalene, phenol, pyridine, anthracene and other high-value-added fine chemicals, or coal aromatics as a raw material and then deep processing of aryl pyrazole nitrile, alpha aryl alcohol, aryl phosphates and other fine chemicals, it is very difficult to introduce the ready-made technology, you must be a dead-end effort to overcome one by one by themselves, and then through the industrialization of the landing of the road.

Standing in the old and new key nodes, China's coal chemical industry to smoothly open a new chapter of the development of 2.0, from the basic chemical industry upgraded to the fine chemical industry and new materials industry as expected, no innovative ideas, innovative models, a new path, it is difficult to aspire to. Innovation and talent problems are not solved, the story of China's coal chemical industry 2.0 will not come, at least not on schedule.
Crack the “people” problem with localized ideas

The innovation and development of coal-based fine chemicals industry in the western region should ultimately return to the localization of ideas, local people to solve local problems, self-innovation and research and development, supplemented by the introduction of foreign technology, high-quality development based on a solid foundation of independent scientific and technological innovation.

The focus of innovation and R&D in the next coal chemical industry 2.0 stage should include but not limited to the following directions:

● Fundamental research on coal properties and components. Coal based on the basic research of modern science has a history of 200 years, but to this day, what is coal, what elements and components are contained in it, is still unable to unveil the whole picture. Moreover, with the acceleration of the process of “abandoning coal” in the West in recent years, the basic research on coal in developed countries has been weakened. China's oil-poor, gas-poor and coal-rich national conditions dictate that the position of coal as the ballast in China's energy resources will exist for a long time, and it is necessary for China to take over the banner of Western scientific research and continue to dig deeper into the basic research of coal properties and components. Only with a truly thorough understanding of coal can we further develop and utilize it.

Path analysis of clean and efficient utilization of coal. The clean and efficient utilization of coal has become a national strategy, which will run through the whole process of the national energy revolution. At present, the selection of paths and technical frameworks for the clean and efficient utilization of coal are still at a very early stage of conceptualization, and a great deal of research and exploration is still needed.

● Research on the deep coupling of coal chemical industry and new energy. The western region is not only rich in coal, but also rich in light hydrogen and other emerging energy sources, coal chemical industry is a high-energy-consuming industry, and at the same time, there is a natural disadvantage of “carbon and hydrogen imbalance, more carbon and less hydrogen”, new energy as a power source of coal chemical industry, liquid sunshine methanol and “green hydrogen” into coal chemical industry. The introduction of liquid sunlight methanol and “green hydrogen” into the process route of coal chemical industry has a broad and bright future, and a lot of pioneering research and exploration is needed in this regard.

Research on the production process and industrial chain of coal-based fine chemicals.

Research on production process and industry chain of coal-based new chemical materials.

Research on the parkization of coal chemical industry and the construction of industrial clusters. Compared with the petrochemical industry, the development of coal chemical industry park and construction of industrial clusters are still in the early and middle stage which is far from being mature and finalized, and the technical specifications for the construction of coal chemical industry parks, the guidelines for the construction of coal chemical industry chain, the parameters for the supply of factors such as water, electricity, gas and coal, the monitoring and control on the energy consumption and emission, and the guidelines for the construction of logistics, etc, are still in need of in-depth research and improvement.

Research on green and low-carbon technology path of coal chemical industry. Coal chemical industry is a high water consumption, high carbon emission industry, coal chemical industry to achieve low-carbon or even zero-carbon development, not only for the industry itself is of great significance, for the entire national “dual-carbon” strategy is also of great significance, the need to increase innovation research.

Research on the synergistic development of coal chemical industry and social economy. How to build a large coal chemical industry system in a serious water shortage and ecologically fragile area, and to build a grand industrial park and industrial clusters are all very new topics, and this is a “complex giant system” across multiple fields, which is not only of great research value, but also very challenging to innovate.

In the innovation of localization of specific landing initiatives, on the one hand, the western region and the eastern region of high-level scientific research institutions jointly formed a number of scientific and technological innovation centers and other platforms, the need to do business cooperation to sort out again. Practice has proved that the innovation platform for east-west cooperation, no matter how loud its name, endorsement, as long as the technology supplier unit of the Department of the core talent is not resident in the western part of the local, play a role will be relatively limited. Coal chemical industry 2.0 stage, the East-West cooperation of the branch hospitals and institutes model still has vitality, but how to let the innovative talents relatively fixed to stay and keep, but also need to boldly innovate and explore.
On the other hand, to play a greater role in Xi'an Jiaotong University, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Lanzhou University, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanxi Coal Chemical Institute and Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics, Taiyuan University of Science and Technology, Shanxi University, Xinjiang University, and other local high-level innovation platforms and resources of the scientific and technological innovation of the role of the main force in the forefront of the battle. The state of science and technology innovation has a “four-oriented” strategic orientation, coal and coal chemical industry is not only the main food of national energy resources, but also the dominant industries in the western region and advantageous industries, it should become one of the main responsibilities of the western region of scientific research institutions to attack the main business of the innovation, which is not only the duty but also the responsibility. Around the basic research of coal resources and deep processing of high-value clean utilization of the subject, by the western region of strong schools and institutes to assume the main force, the configuration of scientific research backbone force and the main body of innovation resources, the most likely to crack the innovation bottleneck faced by the western region more smoothly.

Xi'an Jiaotong University (XJTU) is a famous C9 university, with first-class basic research and scientific research level in China. Focusing on the innovation needs of the western region, the university set up a high-level Western China Innovation Port in 2018, which consists of a platform zone, a college zone and an incubation zone, relying on the relevant faculties and departments of XJTU to set up innovation and R&D platforms such as Electronic Information, High-end Equipment, Energy Science and Technology, Air and Space and Mechanics, Electrical Science and Technology, Materials Science and Engineering, Biomedical and Health Engineering, Chemical Engineering and Technology, as well as a large-scale instrumentation sharing test center. The innovative R&D platforms, such as the Center, have gathered more than 30,000 scientific research talents, including dozens of academicians, and achieved a number of major innovative achievements. In the future, we will give full play to the talent convergence advantages of western hub cities such as Xi'an, Lanzhou and Yinchuan, and form a wider innovation consortium with government, institutions, parks and enterprises, so as to integrate the production and education, assist the production with the education and promote the education with the production. We will also gradually explore the port forwarding, and march to the frontline of the industry and frontline positions such as the “Golden Triangle of Energy” and form an industry-teaching-research integration laboratory in Ningdong, Yudong and Yudong, and a research center for chemical engineering technology and large-scale instrument and equipment sharing. By forming NINGDONG Laboratory, YULIN Laboratory, ERDOS Laboratory, XUANGJIANG Laboratory, etc., and incorporating the master and doctoral talents in school into the hot practice of coal chemical industry 2.0 innovation, the company can really implement the local people to solve the local affairs, and help promote the innovation, upgrading and high-quality development of coal chemical industry.

Xi'an Jiaotong University-Western China Science and Technology Innovation Port

The phoenix is singing in the west, and the country is prospering. Looking forward to the future of China's chemical industry, there will be two industrial dragons using oil and coal as raw materials at the same time, with different paths to the same destination, equally wonderful. Coal chemical industry, relying on the vast land in the western region and rich in new energy, and may even catch up, in the key agenda of the 21st century low carbon zero carbon for the world to create a unique Chinese program. To realize this ambitious vision, the key is talent, innovation is the support. The great cause calls for ten thousand horses and thousands of troops. I sincerely hope that this article will stir up a thousand waves and become the first battle diatribe calling for the rapid arrival of the new era of 2.0.
