Group 1 - The first domestic green methanol demonstration project, led by State Power Investment Corporation Jidian Co., Ltd., aims to create a complete industrial chain for green liquid fuel, integrating "green methanol production - fuel refueling - ocean shipping" [1] - The project, with an investment of 4.29 billion, is expected to produce 197,200 tons of green methanol annually and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 300,000 tons per year, contributing to the decarbonization of the shipping industry [1] - Green methanol is considered an ideal alternative to traditional marine fuels due to its liquid state at normal temperature and pressure, ease of storage and transportation, and significantly lower carbon footprint throughout its lifecycle [1] Group 2 - Companies like Fuzhi Environmental Protection are focusing on developing integrated technologies for green methanol production through anaerobic fermentation and gasification processes [2] - Jiaze New Energy is entering the green methanol business in collaboration with Ningxia Jiaze Group, which is expected to significantly enhance the company's growth potential [2]

Group 1: Power Generation Capacity - As of the end of July 2025, the total installed power generation capacity in China reached 3.67 billion kilowatts, representing a year-on-year growth of 18.2% [1][2] - Solar power generation capacity reached 1.11 billion kilowatts, with a year-on-year increase of 50.8%, while wind power capacity reached 575 million kilowatts, growing by 22.1% [1][2] Group 2: New Installations - From January to July 2025, the total new installed capacity was 325 GW, marking a year-on-year increase of 75.7% [1][2] - Solar power installations accounted for 223 GW of the new capacity, with an impressive year-on-year growth of 80.7%, while wind power installations added 54 GW, up by 79.4% [1][2] - In July 2025, new installations of renewable energy were 12 GW, which is nearly half of the previous month’s figure [1][2][3] Group 3: Specific Trends in Solar and Wind Power - The new solar power installations in July 2025 were 10 GW, which is more than a 50% decrease compared to July 2024 and nearly a halving from June 2025 [3] - Wind power installations in July 2025 were 2.3 GW, slightly down from the previous years' figures and significantly lower than June 2025's 5.1 GW [4] Group 4: Green Methanol Projects - The demand for green methanol is primarily driven by the marine shipping industry, with the first container ship fully powered by green methanol having set sail in July 2025 [6] - China's total planned capacity for green methanol is nearly 60 million tons per year, but actual built capacity is currently below 300,000 tons per year [6] - The opening rate of green methanol projects is improving, with over 600,000 tons per year of capacity expected to be operational by 2024 and around 1.5 million tons per year by 2025 [6][7]
