Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly state an investment rating for the green methanol industry, but it highlights significant growth potential and investment opportunities in the sector. Core Insights - The global scale of green and low-carbon methanol projects is rapidly increasing, with a total planned capacity of 56.3 million tons by November 2025. GENA Solutions estimates that actual global green methanol capacity could reach between 6 to 13 million tons by 2030, with securing purchase agreements and financing for construction being the main challenges for project realization [5][14][25]. - Biomass methanol technology's gasification stage is critical, as its technical level and operational stability directly impact project feasibility and economics. Balancing costs and carbon utilization rates based on raw material characteristics is essential for project success. Electrolytic methanol technology is mature and synergizes well with renewable energy, but high costs of water electrolysis and complex system integration hinder large-scale promotion, making the reduction of electricity costs a priority [5][31][49]. - A complete core loop of resources, technology, and customers is essential for green methanol projects from planning to production. In the context of high costs for green methanol, finding end customers willing to pay a green premium and signing long-term purchase agreements to secure future cash flows is crucial for stable commercial operations [5][64]. Summary by Sections 1. Green Methanol Capacity Scale Steadily Increases - The production methods for methanol include natural gas (dominant globally), coal (high domestic share in China), and green methanol (biomass or electrolytic, lower carbon emissions but higher costs). The future trend focuses on "carbon neutrality," with renewable electricity and biomass routes accelerating towards mainstream production after cost reductions [8][19]. 2. Biomass Methanol: Gasification is Key, Cost Reduction and Efficiency Improvement are Directions - Gasification is the core process for biomass methanol production, involving four key steps: pretreatment, gasification, gas purification and adjustment, and methanol synthesis and purification. The efficiency of gasification directly affects project production efficiency and unit costs [31][74]. 3. Electrolytic Methanol: Cost Reduction is the Top Priority - Electrolytic methanol technology typically captures CO2 from biomass power plant emissions and combines it with hydrogen produced from renewable energy through electrolysis. While the technology is mature and synergizes well with renewable energy, high costs associated with hydrogen production and carbon capture present significant challenges for large-scale promotion [49][58]. 4. From Planning to Production: Resources, Technology, and Customers are Indispensable - The Northeast region of China is a key area for green methanol projects, supported by abundant biomass, wind, and water resources. Local government policies further accelerate industry clustering, creating a dual policy dividend of "national subsidies + local matching" [64][79]. 5. Investment Recommendations - Companies that have preemptively laid out green methanol manufacturing and have products certified (e.g., RED, ISCC) are highlighted as key investment targets, including JinFeng Technology, China Tianying, Jilin Electric Power, and others [5][64].
