Located in Lishu, Jilin Province, the project is jointly developed by Jilin Electric Power, Cosco Shipping, and Shanghai International Port Group, and is expected to produce 197,200 tonnes per year of green methanol by combining renewable hydrogen from 150MW of wind and solar-powered electrolysis with CO\u2082 sourced from biomass gasification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis [project] not only opens up the vast green energy market in maritime transportation for us, but also explores a new path of integrated development \u2014 one where renewable energy empowers traditional industries and agricultural resources contribute to the energy transition,\u201d said Jilin Electric Power chairman Yang Yufeng.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nThe integrated facility will use waste straw to produce syngas and generate the CO\u2082 needed for methanol synthesis, while alkaline electrolysers will deliver green hydrogen in two phases\u2014initially via 12x 1,000 Nm\u00b3 units and then with 16x 1,000 Nm\u00b3 units plus a single 2,000 Nm\u00b3 stack, totalling around 150MW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jilin Electric Power launched a tender for this equipment, with deliveries due before August 2026. The capital structure relies on 20% equity and 80% debt. The project has no publicly announced offtake agreements or CAPEX figures, but Cosco is expected to manage exports and\/or serve as anchor customer. Despite Shanghai being 2,000km from Siping, its stated goal of dispensing 1 million tonnes per year of green marine fuels by 2030 could make it a key node in the supply chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Lishu plant follows Jilin Electric Power\u2019s recent certification under the EU\u2019s Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBO) scheme for a separate green hydrogen-ammonia project in Da\u2019an. According to the developer, the Lishu site will cut 300,000 tonnes of CO\u2082 annually and create over 500 local jobs, while providing \u201ca replicable closed-loop solution\u201d to decarbonise shipping. Project leaders emphasise that green methanol offers key advantages over ammonia or hydrogen gas due to its liquid form at ambient temperature and its compatibility with existing infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n

Beyond its energy ambitions, the project is already drawing skilled chemical engineers back to Jilin from coastal provinces, reinforcing the northeast\u2019s industrial revival strategy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
