Tender issued for a 300,000-ton green methanol project in Jiangsu On January 9, 2024, the tender plan for the 300,000-ton annual production green methanol project at Lanze Dafeng Port was released. The project mainly involves the construction of a 300,000-ton/year green methanol plant along with related supporting facilities. The key construction elements include an air separation unit, a biomass gasification unit, a gas purification unit, a methanol production unit, as well as the necessary utility and auxiliary systems. The scope of the tender includes all aspects of project construction, such as design, construction, and equipment procurement. Bidding Information: Name of the tenderer: Jiangsu Lanze Energy Technology Co., Ltd. Project name: Lanze Dafeng Port Green Methanol Production Project with an annual capacity of 300,000 tons. Approval documents for the project: Jiangsu Province Investment Project Registration Certificate, Daxing Review No. [2023] 884. Name of the bidding segment: General contracting for the Lanze Dafeng Port Green Methanol Production Project with an annual capacity of 300,000 tons. The location of this project is on the south side of Nangang Avenue and the west side of Chengdong Road, within the Petrochemical Industrial Park in Dafeng Port Area. This project mainly involves the construction of a new 300,000 tons per year green methanol production facility along with related supporting systems. The key construction elements include air separation units, biomass gasification units, gas purification units, methanol production units, as well as the necessary utility and auxiliary systems. The scope of the tender includes all aspects of project construction, such as design, construction, and equipment procurement. Planned date for release of the tender announcement: February 2024. Proposed trading venue: Yancheng Dafeng District Public Resources Trading Center. Estimated contract value (in ten thousand yuan): 180,000. Project overview: On November 20, 2023, projects such as Lanze Green Methanol, Jidian Green Hydrogen, and Jianheng Large Wind Turbine Blade Testing in the Jiangsu Dafeng Port Economic Development Zone officially commenced. The 300,000-ton green methanol project at Dafeng Port, as Lanzhe Energy’s first industrial project to be implemented, has attracted widespread attention from domestic and international peers as well as various sectors of society since the preparation stage. The total investment planned for this project is 2.25 billion yuan. Using agricultural waste as raw material, and relying on green methanol production technologies with independent intellectual property rights as well as high-performance catalysts, the project aims to develop innovative biomass gasification units and green methanol production units, with green electricity being used throughout the process to produce green methanol from biomass. As one of the functional platforms for low-carbon technology innovation that form the core framework of Shanghai’s Global Innovation Center, Lanze Energy is a commercial operation platform for such initiatives. It is a state-owned enterprise dedicated to technology innovation and the development of solutions, established by Shanghai Lianhe Investment Co., Ltd., Shaanxi Coal Group, Lu’an Group, Yangquan Coal Group – all of which are among the world’s top 500 energy companies – as well as Shanxi Industrial Fund, Donghua Technology Engineering, and Songjiang Construction Group. Lanze Energy is dedicated to fostering new technologies in the fields of energy and materials, providing equity investments, and implementing relevant solutions. It focuses on the hydrogen energy industry chain involving hydrogen production, storage, and utilization, aiming to create a hydrogen energy ecosystem for the future.
The technology for biomass gasification projects is not complex; the main issue lies in the source of biomass materials, which are agricultural waste. The supply of these materials is unstable, their quality is difficult to control, and they are greatly affected by environmental factors. One should be cautious when investing in such projects.
