Qingdao Port launches full chain green methanol bunkering
In China, Qingdao Daily reports Qingdao Port has completed its first routine green methanol bunkering operation, supplying 2,500 tons to two international vessels simultaneously from a single tanker, the first time the “one vessel, multiple recipients” model has been used in China.
The methanol, produced in Shandong province and certified under ISCC EU standards with a negative carbon intensity value, was delivered to COSCO’s dual fuel “Constellation” series vessels, which run on either green methanol or conventional fuel.
Qingdao is now the first port in northern China to offer routine, full chain green methanol bunkering, covering production, storage and delivery in a single integrated system. Six government agencies coordinated the operation, handling risk assessment, customs clearance and tax rebates on the methanol.
