en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Ministry of Energy of Kazakhstan regards the development of the coal chemical industry as one of the key directions for modernizing the coal industry, improving the comprehensive utilization efficiency of resources, and fostering high value-added industries.

In the Karaganda region, construction has begun on a plant with an annual production capacity of 1 million tons of metallurgical coke. Once operational, the project is expected to create up to 500 new jobs.

Meanwhile, two coal-to-diesel projects are being advanced in the Pavlodar and Karaganda regions, each with a designed annual production capacity of 100,000 tons of diesel.

In addition to the projects already underway, Kazakhstan is also studying three promising coal chemical projects. Among them, the Karaganda region plans to build a coking chemical production base, covering processes such as deep processing of coal tar, benzene production, and purification of coke oven gas.

Furthermore, the Abai region is studying the construction of ammonia and urea production projects. Another key planned project involves the production of natural gas from coal.

The Ministry of Energy stated that Kazakhstan has abundant coal reserves, which create favorable conditions for developing high-tech coal chemical industries, expanding the scale of deep coal processing, and increasing the added value of resources.
