In 2019, Ordos actively carried out cooperative investment, supply chain investment, and industrial chain investment. From January to September, the city signed 128 investment projects, with a contract value of CYN174.134 billion, and an operating rate of 48%.
Behind the data is a clear path for the 'modern city' of Ordos and the Yangtze River Delta to move towards a wider, deeper and higher level of cooperation. This is a strong driving force for the pursuit of high-quality development from a 'coal mining economy' to 'multiple areas'.
Ordos is one of China's 14 large-scale coal bases, one of its nine largest coal-fired power bases, and one of its four modern coal chemical industry demonstration zones. The proven coal reserves are 210.2 billion t, accounting for approximately one-sixth of the country's reserves. The proven reserves of natural gas are 4.92 trillion m3, accounting for approximately one-third of the country's reserves. Ordos has become one of the main gas sources for China's natural gas transmission project from West to East.
More than 15 million t of coal chemical production has been built in Ordos, with a coal conversion volume of 65 million tpy. The industrial chain has also extended to fine chemicals, graphene, polymer materials, and carbon materials. The installed capacity of natural gas coal-fired power has reached 20.31 million kW. After the two UHV transmission channels and supporting power point projects of Mongolia West-Tianjin South and Shanghai Temple-Shandong have gone into operation, new electricity installations of 14.6 million kW can be added.
