《中国绿色燃料发展报告（2026）》：继续组织做好氢能、绿色液体燃料技术攻关和产业化相关试点工作‘China Green Fuel Development Report (2026)’: Continued Pilot Work on Hydrogen and Green Liquid Fuel Technology Breakthroughs and Industrialization

Green Fuel International Business Network has learned that the National Energy Administration recently formally released the "China Green Fuel Development Report (2026)", systematically reviewing China's technological progress, industry status and medium- and long-term development path in green fuel fields such as green methanol, green ammonia, green aviation fuel and biodiesel. The report clearly states that it will continue to organize and carry out pilot work related to technological breakthroughs and industrialization of hydrogen and green liquid fuels, driving the large-scale and industrialized development of the green fuel industry.

The report discloses a series of key industry data. By the end of 2025, China's overall green fuel capacity had exceeded 3 million tonnes of equivalent, covering biodiesel, bio-jet fuel, green methanol, green ammonia and many other varieties, initially forming a diversified technology and equipment industry system. Thirteen national-level green fuel pilot demonstration projects have been fully launched, covering key technologies and application scenarios such as green methanol synthesis, green ammonia production, cellulosic ethanol and bio-jet fuel. Among them, in the field of producing green methanol through biomass gasification, the Donghua gasifier developed by China Chemical Engineering Donghua Technology achieved a milestone breakthrough as the world's first 2,000-tonne-class biomass pressurized pure oxygen continuous gasifier, marking that China has moved to the forefront of the world in replacing fossil feedstock with non-grain biomass.

In terms of policy and regulatory system building, the "Energy Law", which took effect on January 1, 2026, brought hydrogen into national energy system management for the first time, establishing the legal status of hydrogen as an important part of future energy. This breakthrough cleared legal obstacles for the large-scale promotion and application of green hydrogen and its derived fuels. The report proposes that the next step will focus greater efforts on improving the green fuel standards system, tackling key technologies and equipment, expanding pilot demonstration projects and innovating business models. In shipping decarbonization, demand for green methanol and green ammonia as alternative fuels is growing rapidly, green aviation fuel (SAF) has broad market prospects driven by the EU's mandatory blending policy, and accelerating competition in the international green fuel market will create new strategic opportunities for China's technology and equipment exports.
