China Energy Construction Launches China’s First 500,000-ton Green Alcohol-oil Demonstration Project

China’s first 500,000-ton wind-solar hydrogen production integrated with biomass green alcohol-oil demonstration project, invested and constructed by China Energy Construction Group Co., Ltd. (China Energy Construction), officially started construction on the 16th, marking that China’s hydrogen-based liquid fuel industry has officially entered a new stage from demonstration to large-scale construction, according to China Workers’ Network.

As a pioneering project in China, it has realized the transformation of "green electricity-green hydrogen-biomass" trinity system integration raw material utilization on a 500,000-ton scale for the first time, providing a replicable and promotable technical paradigm for the large-scale development of the industry.

Relying on the local unique resource endowment of "wind power + biomass", the project plans to build a 500,000-ton annual output green fuel demonstration base, supporting 2 gigawatts of centralized wind power, consuming about 3 million tons of biomass annually, and finally producing green methanol, green aviation fuel, green ammonia and other green fuel products, CCTV News reported.

"The project innovatively builds a wind-solar-hydrogen coupled biomass gasification technology route, overcomes the technical barriers of efficient green alcohol-oil synthesis, and the developed off-grid 'electricity-hydrogen-carbon' coupling system solves the technical bottleneck that is difficult to match the volatility of new energy power generation with the production stability of chemical plants," said Pan Jun, chief expert of China Power Engineering Consulting Group under China Energy Construction.

The project will be promoted in three phases: the first phase will achieve an annual output of 100,000 tons of green methanol; the second phase will reach 300,000 tons of green aviation fuel per year; the third phase will produce 100,000 tons of green ammonia annually, fully meeting the overall production capacity target of 500,000 tons of green fuel. The supporting wind power project will provide stable and clean green power support for the whole production process, ensuring a full-chain low-carbon closed loop in production.

In the core biomass gasification link, the project relies on the two-stage fluidized bed gasification technology with independent intellectual property rights owned by China Energy Construction, greatly improving the syngas quality and conversion efficiency. Meanwhile, a green computing power center is planned in the park to explore a new "green electricity + computing power" coordinated development model, striving to build a full-chain low-carbon closed-loop operation system.

The launch of the project not only fills the gap in large-scale demonstration of the industry, but also injects strong impetus into China’s green and low-carbon development, demonstrating China’s strength in technological innovation and green transformation in the field of new energy and chemical industry.
