In the UK, Fuell Cells Works reported that Shanghai Electric has officially launched production at the first phase of its Taonan green hydrogen-to-methanol plant in Jilin, northeast China, delivering the first barrels of green methanol on July 14.
This milestone makes the Taonan facility the world’s first commercial-scale project integrating wind power and biomass gasification to produce green methanol, according to the report. The plant is expected to yield 50,000 tons of green methanol in 2025, with future expansions to hit 250,000 tons of e-methanol and 10,000 tons of green aviation fuel annually.
The integrated setup processes agricultural and forestry waste into syngas, combines it with wind-generated green hydrogen, and synthesizes methanol on-site—achieving a fully closed-loop production chain that meets ISCC-EU certification.
