Thread Content
Recently, the popularity of green methanol has continued to rise, with new progress being made in green alcohol projects one after another. According to incomplete statistics from Gao Gong Hydrogen Energy, in May this year, there were over 11 projects related to green alcohol that were signed or approved. The planned annual production capacity for the projects that have been signed relates to green alcohol is over 1.65 million tons, while for those that have been approved, it is over 2.19 million tons. In May alone, the total annual production capacity planned for the green alcohol project exceeds 3.84 million tons. Signed Projects: 1. Signing of Nengjian Technology’s 150,000-ton green hydrogen-based methanol production project. Recently, Beijing Nengjian Technology Development Co., Ltd. announced a strategic partnership with the People’s Government of Yushu City in Jilin Province, with the plan to invest in establishing an integrated facility in Yushu City for producing methanol using green hydrogen on a scale of 150,000 tons per year. Nengjian Technology will collaborate with China National Coal Construction Group to develop a green methanol integrated project. The project will be constructed in phases, with Phase 1 focusing on the construction of a 150,000-ton capacity green methanol plant, along with the development of a 800MW wind power facility to support it. 2. Agreement signed for Hong Kong-based company’s investment in 300,000-ton green methanol project. On May 27, Shandong Institute of Industrial Technology and Jinan Chanyan Guoneng Zhongtan Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. entered into tripartite agreements with Hong Kong’s Longxiang Group Investment Co., Ltd. and Gaofeng Group Holdings Limited at the Shandong Association in Hong Kong, to jointly develop a 1.6 GW integrated wind power, grid, energy storage, and green methanol production project. The construction scope includes wind farms, hydrogen production facilities through water electrolysis, methanol synthesis units, carbon capture systems, as well as other related infrastructure. Upon completion, it will be able to produce 300,000 tons of green methanol per year. 3.

Does this “green hat” refer to selling something that is not what it appears to be?

A considerable number of projects are like this: they cannot be constructed following the normal approval procedures set by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and local governments, but by labeling them as projects related to green hydrogen, green alcohol, or green ammonia, it becomes possible to get approval for their construction. In previous years, some oil refining projects in certain areas gave themselves names such as \"advanced processing of asphalt\" or \"intensive utilization of heavy oil resources\", which served a similar purpose
Is it a flaw in the system, or is it due to inaction on the part of the regulatory authorities? A situation like this should be very detrimental to the entire industry.

In other areas as well, it is necessary to revitalize economic development industries, which requires projects that operate on the edge of legality or even in violation of regulations in order to drive local economic growth. As long as China’s economy continues to develop and as long as the Chinese people can live a good life, such projects are necessary. Going a step further, as long as it is possible to surpass the former great powers, it is a good thing if China’s regular and irregular forces can achieve victories.
Whether it’s a black cat or a white cat, as long as it can catch mice, it’s a good cat:victory:
