size of new green methanol projects are humongousGuofu hydrogen energy has signed agreement with South Africa solar energy company to setup green hydrogen/ammonia production base there. Or at least set up some kind of production supply chain for that. Aiming for 1 GW of electrolyzers order a year
Sany has also managed to sign a wind/solar/hydrogen/ESS/ammonia in one project in Qinghai
SPIC hs giend agreement with Yantai gov't for the world's first 100k level e-methanol project. (I don't agree that it's the first such project)
project will involve building a production of 500kt of green methanol when completed. The first phase of plan is for 200kt of capacity
Inner Mongolia signed a deal where 2GW of wind power will produce 500kt of methanol. 14B RMB investment
also has a ultra high temp electrolysis hydrogen storage tech of 1B RMB and another billion for hydrogen vehicle related tech and 200m RMB for fuel cell manufacturing
remains to be seen how that market works out
This was already announced before, but now they've officially signed the agreement for delivery of 15 1000NM3/h electrolyzers from Longi to 大安项目
we just have a new 30B RMB project announced for eventually 600k ton of green ammonia production in Jilin. Would require by my calculation around 112k ton of green hydrogen
If we factor in what I wrote above and discussed here
Just between these mega projects, we are looking at 2million tons of green methanol.State Power Investment Corporation Limited (SPIC) plans to establish a 500,000 tons green methanol project in Shandong (for Phase 1, it’s 200,000 tons);
Goldwind, China’s largest wind power generator producer, plans to build a 500,000 tons green methanol complex in Inner Mongolia;
CRRC Wind Power, another major wind power equipment producer and EPC contractor, plans to build 450,000 tons green methanol project in Xinjiang (3 phases)
The worldwide production is currently at 110million ton
so plenty of room for green methanol to ooccupy.
