JEP(SZ:000875) Zhong Guo Neng Yuan Wang·2025-10-31 14:24Core Viewpoint - The launch of the green methanol project in Jilin represents a significant step towards establishing a complete green liquid fuel industry chain in China, aligning with national strategies for energy transition and carbon neutrality [1][3][12]. Group 1: Project Overview - The project, led by State Power Investment Corporation's Jilin Electric Power Co., aims to create a full-chain green methanol demonstration project integrating green hydrogen production, fuel refueling, and ocean shipping [1][3]. - Upon completion, the project is expected to produce 197,200 tons of green methanol annually and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 300,000 tons per year [3]. Group 2: Importance of Green Methanol - Green methanol is crucial for decarbonizing the shipping industry due to its liquid state at room temperature and pressure, making it easy to store and transport, with significantly lower carbon footprints compared to traditional marine fuels [4]. - The project establishes a replicable model for local strategies involving "green hydrogen+" and addresses the challenge of integrating unstable wind energy into stable green liquid fuel production [4][12]. Group 3: Technological Innovations - The project employs a "cross-domain integration" approach, utilizing a coupling technology route of wind power to green hydrogen and biomass gasification to synthetic gas, enhancing system stability and economic efficiency [6][8]. - It features an integrated flexible regulation system that ensures seamless connection between renewable energy and chemical production, effectively addressing the volatility of renewable energy sources [8]. Group 4: Regional Benefits - The project is expected to create over 500 jobs during its construction and operation, stimulating the development of related industries such as biomass collection, equipment manufacturing, and technical services [10]. - It serves as a magnet for talent, attracting professionals back to Jilin from coastal regions, thereby contributing to the local economy and revitalization efforts [10]. Group 5: Strategic Significance - The project is a key component of the State Power Investment Corporation's "Hydrogen Zone Hyglobal" brand strategy, following the establishment of the world's largest single green ammonia project in Jilin [11]. - It represents a pioneering effort to couple Jilin's abundant wind and biomass resources to produce green methanol, opening up significant opportunities in the green energy market for shipping [12][14].
