Chapter 1801 Coal Chemical Industry
After a series of maneuvers, the park company's assets reached more than 3 billion yuan and had no liabilities. The assets of these 3 billion yuan include shares in the three joint venture projects, totaling 300 million US dollars and about 2.5 billion yuan. Of which 2 billion is cash investment, and more than 500 million is conversion of land and other resources.
Then, the financing was carried out in the name of the park company, with the first phase of financing of 2 billion yuan as the start-up capital for Xinpu Steel Construction. Based on this, in the name of Xinpu Steel, he obtained a low-interest loan of 2 billion yuan agreed by the state, and raised 4 billion yuan to be used to build Xinpu Steel.
In addition, Xinpu Steel has introduced strategic investments such as Fangta Mining, Tangsheng Heavy Industry, Fangxia New Materials, ThyssenKrupp, etc., with a total investment of one billion yuan, accounting for 33% of the shares, making Xinpu Steel the first large joint venture steel company in China.
Tan Maxi originally expressed interest in investing in the Xinpu Steel Project, but since Bao Feiyang returned from Beijing, Tan Maxi has not continued to follow up on the project. Their energy seems to be focused on the construction project in Gaoqiao Xingang District.
In Shabang Town, Huixun District, technicians are surveying the plot. With the implementation of several projects, the Tianjiang Iron and Steel Industrial Park Management Committee, which was established in advance, began to carry out preliminary work on the park construction. In addition to surveying and planning, the most important thing is the relocation of residents in the park.
Shabang Town has an area of 32 square kilometers, and about 20 square kilometers of the riverside area are all included in the steel park. With the land of about 15 square kilometers of Linjiang in two surrounding towns, the total planned area of Tianjiang Iron and Steel Park has reached 35 square kilometers. This scale roughly reaches two-thirds of the later Jinggang Caofeidian Steel and Electric Power Industrial Park. Caofeidian Park is planned to reach a production scale of 20 million tons of fine steel, as well as a power generation capacity of 5,000 megawatts, and other industries with this as the core.
The development of Caofeidian in later generations was huge, but it was also questioned. For a period of time, Caofeidian was also called the ghost town. However, in Bao Feiyang's view, this is normal. After all, even if the economy of China has maintained a high rate of growth, it will also be affected by the economic cycle, and there will be troughs and peaks. At the trough, the growth rate of the national economy is only 6%, 7%, and when the high is high, it can reach 13%, 4%, and the difference between the middle is doubled.
The time span of the construction of a new city is very long, and more than ten years is actually very short, and in more than ten years, one or two economic cycles may have to go through.
Of course, the situation in Tianjiang Iron and Steel Park is different from Caofeidian. Caofeidian is far away from the economic center and is dozens of kilometers away from Tangshi city. Tangshi's economic size and economic status are nothing more than a little help to Caofeidian.
Although Tianjiang Iron and Steel Park is also a suburb, it is very close to Chundong New District. The economic scale and economic status of Pujiang City are not comparable to that of Tang City. Tianjiang Iron and Steel Park is completely part of Pujiang City's industrial system.
The planning of Tianjiang Iron and Steel Park has not yet been completely finalized. According to Bao Feiyang's leadership, the planned area of Huixun District has reached 35 square kilometers, but the city believes that the planned area is too large. The several industrial parks planned by Chundong New District, the north and south areas of the Yinqiao Export Processing Zone, combined with less than 30 square kilometers. The Chunjiang High-tech Park, known as the Pujiang Silicon Valley, has a planned area of only 25 square kilometers, and the Jingshan Chemical Zone is only 29 square kilometers. The six existing national economic development zones in Pujiang City are the largest, the Jingshan Chemical Zone, all of which do not exceed 30 square kilometers, and the steel park directly proposes a planned area of 35 square kilometers, which is simply too ambitious.
However, Bao Feiyang still insists on his own view on this issue.
"35 square kilometers seem to be very large, but for the steel industry, it is not very large. Xinpu Steel produces 10 million tons of crude steel, and the downstream will form a production and processing capacity of 10 million tons of high-end steel, including subsequent mechanical processing production capacity, forming a complete steel deep processing industry chain..." At the on-site office meeting, Bao Feiyang said to Executive Vice Mayor Zhou Kunlin and others.
"In the future, the steel park will form a steel smelting and high-end steel production base, a steel logistics and trade distribution center, an iron ore trading distribution center, a steel deep processing park, a building material processing and manufacturing center, and a mechanical processing industry base, forming a modern steel industrial park that covers the entire industrial chain from the upstream iron ore and coal transportation trade, to metal smelting, and then to high-end steel production and deep processing, covering the entire industrial chain... Focusing on steel as the core, the park will also develop related coal chemical industry, electricity, metal processing and trade, build metal processing industry bases, and new materials industry bases..."
Bao Feiyang said: "The future development of Tianjiang Steel Industrial Base will not be limited to steel, except for steel smelting and manufacturing, coal chemical industry, new materials, power generation and new energy..."
Regarding the plan for Tianjiang Steel Base, there are already detailed plans in the plan submitted by Huixun District, which also mentions the major sectors of iron ore trading and distribution center, coal chemical industry, new materials and energy industry. According to the plan, in the future, the Tianjiang Steel Park will form major sectors of steel smelting and processing, metal material processing, ore trade distribution, coal chemical industry, new materials and energy industry.
According to the production scale of 10 million tons of steel, there is indeed no need for a park area of 35 square kilometers. The Municipal Planning Bureau calculated one-to-one by the steel industry and other industries, and believed that the twenty square kilometers of park was enough. After all, Pujiang is not another place. Even if Huixun District is in full swing, land resources cannot be wasted. However, Bao Feiyang has higher expectations for other industries. Even in his plan, Xinpu Steel is just a starting point and an introduction. The special steel, new materials, metal processing, and even ore trade derived from it are much more important than Xinpu Steel itself. Even the potential of coal chemical and energy industries will not be smaller than that of steel.
Of course, the steel industry is undoubtedly a large industry, and its future potential is also very great. China's steel output has increased by more than ten times in more than ten years from 100 million tons, reaching one billion tons. Because of this, Bao Feiyang does not intend to let Xinpu Steel participate in this new leap forward in the steel industry. He believes that Xinpu Steel should become a technical benchmark for domestic steel companies, insist on leading technology, rather than leading output. The scale of 10 million tons is also a relatively suitable economic scale. In the future, Xinpu Steel can expand production capacity in other places through investment and construction of new factories, or mergers and acquisitions. The Tianjiang Steel Base should vigorously develop the production and processing of special steels and always focus on the high-end steel field.
The steel-electricity alliance is due to the large demand for electricity by steel companies, the recycling of thermal energy in steelmaking, and the need for common raw material coal. On the one hand, the development of electricity in the steel industry park can meet the needs of electricity for steel production nearby, and on the other hand, the thermal energy during steelmaking can also be recycled. In addition, steel production requires coal, and the power on the Pujiang side is mainly coal-fired power generation. Based on the large demand for coal, it is feasible to develop coal chemical industry.
As of now, the largest coal chemical enterprise in Pujiang is Pujiang Coking Plant, which has the capacity to produce 2 million cubic meters of urban gas per day, produces more than 1 million tons of metallurgical coke, and also produces methanol, phthalic anhydride, coal tar series, oil and fat chemical series, industrial gas series, inorganic zinc series, activated carbon series, water reducing agent series and other coal chemical products.
The prospects of coal chemical industry are very good. Traditional coal chemical industry includes coal coking, coal-to-chemical fertilizers, coal-to-methanol and downstream products, as well as coal-based polyvinyl chloride, etc. The production scale is relatively small, the main products are single, and the environmental protection facilities are simple. However, modern coal chemical industry has made breakthroughs in technology, direct and indirect liquefaction of coal, coal-to-methanol-to-olefin, synthetic natural gas, and ethylene glycol, which can replace petrochemical products with a certain scale. At the same time, the production scale is larger, energy and chemical products are co-produced, energy-saving and environmental protection facilities are complete, and the development of parks and bases is very promising.
After liquefaction and fractionation, methanol is used to make olefins, and olefins are separated, polyethylene and polypropylene can be produced to replace petroleum products.
Of course, modern coal chemical bases are built in Kengkou, that is, coal products are more economical. After all, the transportation cost of coal is relatively high, and it is more cost-effective to transport after refining and processing. There are no large coal mines around Pujiang. Although coal from Shandong and Liaodong can be imported from the sea, the cost will still be higher than that of Kengkou bases. Therefore, to a certain extent, Pujiang's coal chemical industry will not follow the path of blindly pursuing scale. The development of coal chemical industry mainly uses the needs of steel production and coal-fired power generation for coal to make more reasonable use and development of coal resources. Moreover, the coal chemical products of Tianjiang base should focus more on high-end synthetic materials, synthesis of olefins, polyethylene, polypropylene and more back-end products. The in-depth product chain is enough to resolve the disadvantages in cost.
Another point is that although domestic coal resources are sufficient, the price of imported large amounts of coal will actually be lower than that of domestic coal in the future.
Of course, the purpose of developing coal chemical industry in Tianjiang Iron and Steel Industrial Park is not to compete with other domestic pit coal chemical industries. Bao Feiyang's purpose is still to reasonably optimize the industrial integration of the park. The park will focus on developing special steel and new materials in the future. Among them, not only coke is needed for steelmaking, but some products of coal chemical industry are also additives and raw materials for the production of special steel and new materials. For example, coal chemical industry can produce propylene, and acrylonitrile can be used to produce acrylonitrile by acrylonitrile ammonia oxidation method. Acrylonitrile can synthesize polyacrylonitrile fibers, which are the so-called acrylic fibers, which are a very good textile fibers.
