On the morning of June 26, the launching ceremony of China Pingmei Shenma Group's Zhanjiang Green Low-Carbon Urea Demonstration Project and the industrial chain investment promotion event were grandly held on Donghai Island, Zhanjiang. As a benchmark project for local-enterprise collaboration, green transformation, and chain extension and supplementation, the implementation and operation of this project will strongly promote the green upgrading of Zhanjiang's port-side chemical industry and assist in the effective achievement of regional "dual carbon" goals.

It is reported that the Zhanjiang Green Low-Carbon Urea Demonstration Project is jointly invested and constructed by the Henan Energy and Chemical International Trade Group and Zhongyuan Dahua Group, both subsidiaries of China Pingmei Shenma Group. With a total investment of 5 billion yuan and an overall planned annual production capacity of 3 million tons of green urea, the project is constructed in three phases, with the first phase having a construction scale of 600,000 tons of urea capacity. The project is located in the Zhanjiang Donghai Island Industrial Park, adjacent to key leading enterprises such as Sinopec Zhanjiang Refining & Chemical and Baosteel Zhanjiang Iron & Steel. Relying on the park's mature industrial supporting facilities and cluster advantages, it achieves nearby resource matching and circular utilization.

In terms of production model and technology, the project focuses on a green, low-carbon, and circular development path, innovatively creating a CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage) model. The carbon dioxide raw materials required for production are directly captured from industrial tail gas generated by enterprises in the Donghai Island Industrial Park, turning industrial waste gas into a resource and utilizing it circularly. At the same time, it couples with imported green ammonia raw materials to produce high-quality green urea, significantly reducing production carbon emissions from the source. The production process adopts Wuhuan Engineering's high-efficiency synthesis and ultra-low energy consumption carbon dioxide stripping patented technology, leading the industry in overall energy consumption levels. The production process covers standardized procedures such as CO₂ liquefaction, separation, and purification, urea high-pressure synthesis, medium-pressure decomposition and recovery, and large-particle fluidized bed granulation. The process is mature, green, efficient, safe, and controllable.

Based on the main business of green urea, the project simultaneously lays out the extension of the high-end new material industry chain. According to the development plan, the project will subsequently expand into downstream high value-added fields, focusing on high-end new material products such as melamine, melamine fiber, cyanurate, and foam, gradually building a full-chain industrial system of "green urea + high-end fine chemical new materials," and continuously enhancing industrial value-added and core competitiveness.

This launching ceremony simultaneously carried out centralized investment promotion and signing for the industrial chain, achieving two-way empowerment for project construction and industrial chain extension. On site, multiple cooperation agreements were signed successively, including the second and third phase expansion and chain extension cooperation framework agreements, carbon dioxide supply letters of intent, overseas synthetic ammonia raw material supply letters of intent, and urea product export letters of intent. This successfully opened up a full-chain closed-loop system of upstream raw material supply, mid-stream green production, and downstream international export, deeply integrating into the domestic and international dual circulation development pattern.

Relying on the cluster advantages of the Donghai Island port-side industry, the project realizes a highly distinctive development model of "carbon supply across the wall and nearby circulation." It can directly consume and utilize carbon dioxide from industrial tail gas of nearby leading enterprises, significantly reducing waste gas emissions and saving transportation costs, truly achieving park resource circulation, industrial coupling, and green symbiosis, providing a replicable and demonstrable model for the low-carbon transformation of port-side heavy and chemical industries.
