China Huadian has just broken ground on the Tiaobinshan green hydrogen-to-methanol project in Tieling, Liaoning province—a hefty ¥3.9 billion ($548 million) venture. Lean into Liaoning renewable energy—namely those steady winds—to crank out green hydrogen and then spin it into green methanol for export markets. When it’s firing on all cylinders, you’re looking at roughly 19,000 tonnes of green hydrogen and 100,000 tonnes of green methanol every year. Most of that methanol is destined for overseas buyers, giving China Huadian an early foothold in Europe and Asia’s low-carbon fuel markets. Next, in the methanol synthesis unit, that green hydrogen teams up with captured CO₂ to produce green methanol.
