The Subuerga Mine and Coal Preparation Plant project in Ejin Horoo Banner, Ordos, has secured official land use approval from the Inner Mongolia autonomous region government, marking a critical milestone in land resource allocation for this major energy project, which will become a strategic coal production base for the country.
With a designed annual capacity of 8 million metric tons and total investment exceeding 9.2 billion yuan ($1.29 billion), the Subuerga Mine aligns with China's national energy security strategy to bolster domestic supply. The approval not only secures land resources for building a modernized large-scale mine but also injects fresh momentum into the economic transition of western agricultural and pastoral towns like Subuerga, facilitating local industrial upgrading.
This breakthrough underscores Ordos' role in reshaping regional energy infrastructure, contributing significantly to optimizing energy sector layouts, strengthening supply chain resilience, and advancing high-quality economic development in line with national decarbonization and industrial modernization goals.
