Green hydrogen to power 100,000-tonne methanol project in Northeast China
In India, BioEnergy Times reported that a green methanol project powered by green hydrogen has begun construction in northeast China.
The project, part of the Shenyang Wind-Solar-Hydrogen Fusion Biomass Green Methanol Demonstration initiative, is located in Kangping County under Shenyang. In its first phase, the facility will produce 100,000 tons of green methanol annually, with construction expected to be completed within 24 months, according to the report.
The plant will use waste straw as its primary raw material, which will be processed into synthesis gas. This gas will then be combined with green hydrogen generated from 6.5 MW wind-powered electrolyzers to produce methanol with lower emissions, the report stated.
To ensure steady operations, the project will include a biomass pre-treatment facility capable of producing 337,000 tons of biomass briquettes each year, providing a stable supply of feedstock, it added.
