In the UK, Fuel Cells Works reported that three Chinese state-owned entities have kicked off construction of the country’s first full-chain green methanol demonstration aimed at the shipping sector, with plans to export the fuel to international maritime markets.
Located in Lishu, Jilin Province, the project is jointly developed by Jilin Electric Power, Cosco Shipping, and Shanghai International Port Group, and is expected to produce 197,200 tons per year of green methanol by combining renewable hydrogen from 150MW of wind and solar-powered electrolysis with CO2 sourced from biomass gasification, according to the report.
The integrated facility will use waste straw to produce syngas and generate the CO₂ needed for methanol synthesis, while alkaline electrolyzers will deliver green hydrogen in two phases, the report said.
