成本直降超30%！我国绿色甲醇技术取得新突破

Core Insights - The project led by East China University of Science and Technology has successfully developed a key technology for converting biogas into green methanol, filling a technological gap in the international shipping industry's transition to green fuels [1][3] - The new technology, BESTm, enables nearly 100% carbon utilization from biogas, transforming methane and carbon dioxide into green methanol, thus addressing the carbon waste issue associated with traditional biogas utilization [3][4] Cost Reduction and Economic Viability - The production cost of green methanol using BESTm technology is reduced by over 30% compared to traditional methods, making it more economically viable for large-scale application [6] - Currently, the price of green methanol is approximately 9,000 yuan per ton, while heavy oil is around 3,000 yuan per ton, creating a significant price gap that has hindered the adoption of green methanol [6] - When electricity prices are between 0.1 to 0.2 yuan per kilowatt-hour, the cost of producing green methanol can be comparable to that of traditional coal-based methanol [6] Industrialization and Market Potential - The BESTm technology has received dual certification from ISCC, allowing it to enter the international green fuel market [7] - Plans are underway to establish large-scale industrial demonstration projects in Shanghai and surrounding areas to validate the stability and economic feasibility of mass production [7] - Shanghai, as the world's largest container port, has a concentrated demand for green marine fuel, positioning it as a potential hub for future green fuel in the Asia-Pacific region [7]
