Prime Minister N.Uchral recently inspected the construction site of a new coal-pyrolysis plant in Baganuur, highlighting the facility as a vital step toward ending Mongolia's reliance on imported fuel.

The Prime Minister emphasized the economic inefficiency of importing processed coal when Mongolia possesses abundant domestic reserves. To address this, the government is fast-tracking construction over the summer. 

The initial phase of the plant is scheduled to begin producing refined "blue coal" by next fall, a milestone projected to meet 50% of the nation's domestic demand.

Following the completion of the pyrolysis plant, an integrated thermal power plant will be constructed on the same site. These energy projects are part of a broader government strategy to implement phased industrial developments through 2030, supporting Baganuur's legal transition into a state-level city.
