国内首个绿醇全链条示范项目梨树绿色甲醇项目全面开工The country's first full-chain green methanol demonstration project, Lishu Green Methanol Project, has fully commenced construction

Recently, the Pear Tree Green Methanol Project, which is being constructed under the general contracting of China Wuhuan Engineering Co., Ltd., successfully passed the on-site commencement conditions special inspection, marking the official start of full-scale construction activities for the project.

This project is the first green methanol demonstration project in China to integrate the entire chain from 'green methanol production, fuel refueling, to ocean shipping.' It is located in Lishu County, Siping City, Jilin Province, and leverages the area's abundant wind power resources and rich corn stalk resources. The project innovatively adopts the coupled process of 'green electricity hydrogen production and biomass gasification,' providing a replicable new technical model for the 'integration of energy and chemical production.'

In terms of the process route, the project focuses on the coupling of green electricity hydrogen production with biomass gasification. It converts wind and solar green electricity into hydrogen energy and couples it with syngas produced from biomass gasification, thereby synthesizing green methanol. This achieves a deep integration of renewable energy and chemical production and establishes a complete conversion chain from green electricity to green fuel.

Upon reaching full production, the project can annually consume about 700,000 tons of corn stalks, produce 197,200 tons of green methanol, replace nearly 100,000 tons of conventional marine fuel, and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by over 300,000 tons per year, with significant economic and environmental benefits.

The green methanol produced will be directly supplied to leading shipping companies, forming a closed-loop model of 'local raw material sourcing, wind and solar energy production, and global fuel delivery.' This provides a new pathway for high-value utilization of agricultural waste in Northeast China and also creates a replicable model for decarbonizing China's shipping industry.

Next, the project team will take advantage of the prime construction season in the Northeast and simultaneously launch a '60-Day Labor Competition' special campaign. With the goal of creating a top-quality AAAAA-rated chemical construction project, they will integrate safety management throughout the entire construction process, fully promoting construction progress, striving to achieve the timely delivery of core units, and building a benchmark project for green and low-carbon chemical engineering.

Industry insiders believe that, as international shipping emission reduction requirements continue to rise, green methanol is becoming an important direction for ship fuel transformation. The advancement of this project will help the region establish a green energy hub and support the implementation of the 'dual carbon' goals.
