NWRICI Xi'an Branch, located in S & T Park of Xi'an Jiaotong University, was established in 2005 for reconfiguration of NWRICI into a technologically-based group corporation with one headquarter and two branches. It is also the base for Shaanxi Provincial Engineering and Technological Research Center for Coal Chemistry. The Branch, with two departments (gasification and catalysis) , is now under construction and is scheduled to be accomplished before 2009.
