甘肃民乐10万吨绿色甲醇项目环评受理，配套48套SOEC电解槽打造绿电制氢制甲醇一体化示范Gansu Minle 100,000-Tonne Green Methanol Project Accepted for Environmental Review, with 48 SOEC Electrolyzers for Integrated Green-Power Hydrogen-to-Methanol Demonstration

According to Green Fuel International Business Network, the acceptance and public disclosure of the environmental impact assessment for the 100,000-tonne-per-year green methanol production project of Zhongke Nengyuan Chemical (Gansu) Co., Ltd. has been completed. The project is equipped with 48 SOEC electrolyzers, creating an integrated demonstration project for green power-based hydrogen production and methanol synthesis.

The project is located in Minle County, Zhangye City, Gansu Province, and plans to use SOEC (solid oxide electrolysis cell) technology to produce hydrogen by water electrolysis, and then synthesize green methanol from the hydrogen and captured carbon dioxide. SOEC technology has advantages such as high electrolysis efficiency and the ability to use industrial waste heat to reduce energy consumption, making it one of the important technological routes for future green hydrogen production. After completion, the project will produce 100,000 tonnes of green methanol per year, and the product can serve as transport fuel and chemical feedstock, with broad market prospects.

Green methanol is regarded as one of the important fuels for decarbonizing the shipping industry. As the International Maritime Organization (IMO) imposes increasingly strict requirements on ship carbon emissions, global demand for clean marine fuels such as green methanol is growing rapidly. After completion, the project will accumulate valuable experience for the development of China's green methanol industry and provide an important model for the coupled development of biomass energy and green hydrogen.
