The Jiuyuan district of Baotou city – located in North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region – has set up the goal of carbon reduction since the start of the year and it has made marked progress in this endeavor. 

As a result, the number of businesses engaged in green and low-carbon activities in the district is said to have seen rapid growth.

Jiuyuan is understood to have focused on promoting energy conservation and emissions reductions in seven areas in recent years, including in energy, industry and in construction.

The latest polyethylene products manufactured there by CHN Energy Baotou Coal Chemical Co are widely used in commodity packaging. As a newly developed product from the clean utilization of coal, the comprehensive utilization rate of raw coal in the district has been increased to more than 30 percent.

The carbon dioxide capture and compression technology research and development center there – operated by Yuandaxin Chemical Co – was identified as the leading enterprise research and development center in the autonomous region in 2021. The project uses the coal chemical company's products to greatly reduce carbon dioxide emissions, contribute to carbon neutrality, as well as promote the low-carbon, healthy and high-quality development of the local economy.

Jia Run'an, chairman of the Baotou Coal Chemical Co, said that as a pioneer of the modern coal chemicals industry, CHN Group would continue to lead the way – deploying high-end, diversified and low-carbon products.

Elsewhere, a large low-carbon fiber plant, to be operated by Inner Mongolia Guangwei Carbon Fiber Co in Jiuyuan Industrial Park, is currently under construction.

It is believed that the implementation of this project led to the Vestas Wind System A/S carbon fiber integrated wind power project and other related projects to settle in Baotou.

That has helped form a new materials industry supply chain, supported by carbon fiber and composite materials.
