Total investment of 32 billion yuan! China's first 500,000-ton biomass green alcohol oil project has started construction

On April 10, according to China Energy Engineering Corporation, China's first 500,000-ton-level biomass green methanol demonstration project—the 500,000-ton-level wind-solar hydrogen-integrated biomass green methanol demonstration project in Shenyang, Liaoning—officially commenced construction. The launch of the project marks that China's hydrogen-based liquid fuel industry has officially moved from the demonstration stage to the stage of large-scale construction and development.

Green methanol is a clean and low-carbon liquid fuel. Simply put, its production process involves generating electricity using renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power, then electrolyzing water to produce hydrogen, and finally reacting the hydrogen with green carbon sources extracted from agricultural and forestry waste (such as straw and branches) to synthesize methanol and aviation fuel. The total investment for this demonstration project is 32 billion yuan. Leveraging the local unique resources of "wind power and biomass," the project will build a 500,000-ton-per-year biomass green methanol plant, with 2 gigawatts of centralized wind power, and is expected to require about 3 million tons of biomass annually.

Pan Jun, Chief Expert of China Energy Engineering Corporation: The project innovatively establishes a wind-solar hydrogen-coupled biomass gasification technology route, overcoming the technological barriers to efficient synthesis of green methanol. The developed off-grid “electricity-hydrogen-carbon” coupled system addresses the technical bottleneck of the mismatch between the intermittency of renewable power generation and the production stability of chemical plants.

Previously, wind-solar hydrogen production and biomass gasification synthesis were mostly carried out independently. This project, for the first time at the 500,000-ton-level scale, achieves the integration of "green electricity—green hydrogen—biomass" for systematic raw material utilization. In addition, the project simultaneously plans to build a green computing power center and actively explores a new model for the coordinated development of "green electricity and computing power."
