The world's largest coal-to-ethylene glycol project broke ground on Friday in Turpan, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
The project, with a total investment of 25.7 billion yuan (around 3.7 billion U.S. dollars), will produce 2.4 million tons per year of high-quality polyester-grade ethylene glycol upon completion, along with high-value-added byproducts such as dimethyl carbonate and coal-based ethanol.
The project has a planned construction period of 30 months and is scheduled to be operational by the end of 2028.
