Today (the 15th), Shenneng Group announced that Shanghai’s 100,000-ton green methanol project has obtained dual certification for the entire process, including raw material supply, methanol production, as well as trading, storage, transportation, and refueling (ISCC EU and PLUS). This confirms that the project meets the standards for green energy refueling. It is scheduled to be completed and put into operation by the end of this year, with the first refueling of green methanol at the Shanghai Port taking place before next Spring Festival. Data shows that the average carbon emission intensity of Shanghai’s 100,000-ton green methanol project is over 80% lower than that of methanol produced from fossil fuels, which is 94 gCO2eq/MJ. Not only that, but this project is also the city’s first local green methanol production facility. It is currently the largest project in China for producing green methanol from biomethane, and it is the largest project in the world that uses waste materials such as wet waste from a single city as raw material for the production of green methanol. To date, the project has obtained 11 certification certificates, including those for the green methanol raw material supply side at the biomass facility in Langxia Town, Jinshan District, owned by Shenneng Group, and the ecological environmental protection facility in Laogang owned by Chengtou Group; for the green methanol production side operated by Huayi Group; and for the green methanol trading, storage, and refueling services provided by Shenneng Group and Shanghai Port Group. These eleven certificates together constitute the \"green pass\" that enables this project to be refueled at Shanghai Port and to enter the global market.
