Council for the Promotion of International Trade Shaanxi Sub-council. It

attracted more than 400 exhibitors representing well-known industry players

from China and abroad. The exhibits covered many cutting-edge concepts, such as

smart digitalization, smart manufacturing, transformation and upgrading, and

clean and efficient use of energy.

In addition to the exhibition, which covered some 30,000 square meters, the

event also included 12 forums and sessions on topics including the development

of the high-end energy and chemical sector, the development of energy and

chemical equipment manufacturing, intelligent innovation of coal mines, and

attracting investment of CNY 89.38 billion and generating sales of more than

CNY 5 billion. Additionally, transactions for a range of large-scale mining

machinery and intelligent manufacturing equipment amounted to CNY 670 million.

Yulin City is located in the northernmost part of Shaanxi Province, China. It

is rich in energy and mineral resources. In Yulin is located the Shenfu

Coalfield, one of the seven largest coalfields in the world, and also the

Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Gas Field, the largest verified integrated gas field

onshore in China. In the 1990s, Yulin began its construction as an energy and

chemical industry base and gradually put together a system centered on electric

power and chemical industries bolstered by the exploitation of coal, oil, gas and salts.

In recent years, Yulin City has been pursuing its development goal of building

a world-class high-end energy and chemical base, and striving to promote

high-quality development through transformation and upgrading. To date, the

investment of completed energy and chemical projects is around CNY 500 billion,

which puts Yulin amongst the four national modern coal chemical demonstration

zones. It is estimated that by the end of 2025, the proportion of high-end

products in the Yulin chemical industry will have reached 25% and the

refinement rate will exceed 40%. The full industry chain covering core raw

materials, chemical materials, and coal-based high-end refined products such as

nylon, polyester, fiber, and textiles will be aligned.
