报告显示：我国绿色燃料产业多元化发展格局逐步形成Report: China's Green Fuel Industry Is Gradually Forming a Diversified Development Pattern

Green Fuel International Business Network has learned that the National Energy Administration recently released the China Green Fuel Development Report (2026), which shows that a diversified development pattern for China's green fuel industry is gradually taking shape. Green fuels refer to fuels represented by green methanol, green synthetic ammonia, green aviation fuel, biofuel ethanol, biodiesel and biomethane that meet ecological and environmental protection requirements and have relatively low carbon emissions across their full life cycle. By the end of 2025, China had built green fuel production capacity totaling about 8 million tonnes per year of oil equivalent, and the related industry has begun to take shape.

In terms of sub-categories, China has built 6 green methanol projects with capacity of about 380,000 tonnes per year, distributed across Northeast, East China and South China, forming a regional layout from raw material collection to product manufacturing. China's green fuels are currently in a cultivation and development period, with application areas gradually extending from road transport to shipping, aviation, industry and other sectors. In 2025, China's B24 biodiesel bunkering for ships was about 150,000 tonnes, and green methanol bunkering exceeded 10,000 tonnes, marking a substantive step in green fuel application in the shipping industry and providing a Chinese solution for achieving the International Maritime Organization's decarbonization goals.

The report also points out that the development of China's green fuel industry currently faces some difficulties and challenges, mainly high production costs, technology and equipment yet to be improved, and market uncertainty. The production cost of green fuels remains significantly higher than traditional fossil fuels, and the economic bottleneck for large-scale commercial application remains to be broken. The localization rate and stable operation level of some key technology and equipment still need improvement.

A relevant official of the National Energy Administration said that in the future, with the global response to climate change and the continued advancement of the domestic "dual carbon" goals, green fuels have broad prospects. China's new energy and related industries have obvious advantages, and technologies such as wind-solar hydrogen production, biomass synthesis and conversion, and carbon dioxide resource utilization are developing rapidly, providing a good foundation for the scaled development of the green fuel industry. The National Energy Administration will adhere to adapting to local conditions, systematic planning and comprehensive measures, actively promote the healthy and orderly development of the green fuel industry, accelerate the cultivation of new growth points in green fuels, and make new and greater contributions to the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development and the global response to climate change.
