The first batch of 3,750 metric tonnes of green methanol has been loaded and shipped to international destinations, the first large-scale export of Chinese green methanol on record. Completed and commissioned in July 2025, it is equipped for approximately 800,000 metric tonnes of methanol output per year, 32,000 metric tonnes of green hydrogen production annually, and 180,000 metric tonnes of hydrogen storage capacity. Conventional green methanol requires a carbon source in addition to green hydrogen, and using captured CO2 from industrial emissions as that carbon source is one of the available approaches. This matters commercially because the price premium that green methanol commands over conventional methanol depends critically on its recognised environmental credentials. In H1 2026 alone, 19 new green methanol projects received approval in China, representing 3.525 million tonnes of annual capacity.
