A new plant for the production of special coke was presented in Kazakhstan
On November 16, 2023, within the framework of the “KAZSODERNIE 2.0” International Forum , the Eurasian Resources Group (ERG) carried out a technological launch of a plant for the production of special coke in a teleconference mode. The new production, once it reaches its design capacity, will allow us to abandon a significant part of the import of reducing agents and will increase the percentage of Kazakhstani content in domestic ferrochrome produced by ERG.
The plant is located on the territory of the Shubarkol Komir JSC coal enterprise in the Karaganda region. Its capacity is 400 thousand tons of special coke per year. Investments in the project amounted to 60 billion tenge. The plant will create 184 jobs. The production uses the most modern technological solutions and automation.
In addition to the main products, it is planned to produce coal tar and coal oil in a volume of more than 70,000 tons per year.
The raw material for production will be “D” grade coal from the Shubarkol open pit.
