In China, China Daily reported that China’s first batch of green methanol produced from urban waste was refueled into a conventional diesel vessel at Yangpu Port in South China’s island province of Hainan earlier this week.
The green methanol is produced by China BlueChemical, affiliated with China National Offshore Oil Corporation, using biogas generated from the fermentation of urban kitchen waste, animal manure and other wastes as raw materials, according to the report.
The injection of the green methanol amounting to 200 tons can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 325 tons, equivalent to the carbon sink effect of planting over 19,000 trees, the report added.
