China’s first offshore hydrogen-ammonia-methanol project starts methanol production
In China, Metal.com reports China’s first offshore hydrogen-ammonia-methanol project in the waters off of Yantai produced its first green methanol in October, demonstrating the production-storage-transportation-utilization chain. The facility is off-grid, powered entirely by wind and solar, achieving a breakthrough in direct seawater electrolysis for hydrogen production that produces 5 metric tons of green hydrogen per day. In the next decade, China plans to develop 10 of these offshore “energy islands” that can fuel ships directly.
