Project Name: Integrated New Energy Hydrogen Production and Methanol Synthesis Project in Longwen District, Zhangzhou City
Launch Date: September 16, 2025
Region: Fujian
Industry/Project Type: Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals/Chemical Raw Materials and Chemical Products/Chemical Raw Materials
Project Owner: Zhangzhou Longwen Real Estate Development Co., Ltd.
Total Investment: 500 million yuan
Current Progress: Project registration completed
Construction Location: Longwen District, Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province
Construction Details: The project aims to build core facilities for new energy hydrogen production and methanol synthesis, including 1.2 GW of proton exchange membrane electrolyzer systems for hydrogen production (comprising 4 sets of 300 MW electrolyzer systems), a hydrogen purification and compression system (with a purity of 99.999%), 10 sets of alkaline electrolyzer systems with a capacity of 1,000 Nm3/h each for hydrogen production (yielding 32,000 tons of green hydrogen per year), as well as a hydrogen storage tank area with a capacity of 20,000 cubic meters； A methanol synthesis plant with a capacity of 2 million tons per year (including 4 sets of synthesis towers with a capacity of 500,000 tons each and 6 distillation units), a methanol storage area with a capacity of 150,000 cubic meters, and a methanol filling workshop. At the same time, the project will also expand application areas by building 3 methanol filling stations and 1 methanol-to-hydrogen co-production system in the field of green methanol ； In the field of hydrogen-powered transportation, 5 hydrogen refueling stations (with a daily hydrogen supply capacity of 5,000 kg) will be built, along with supporting facilities for 200 hydrogen-powered logistics vehicles ； In the field of integrated source-grid-load-storage-intelligence systems, a 200MW/400MWh electrochemical energy storage system and 1 intelligent microgrid dispatching platform will be built ； In the field of virtual power plants, a regional energy management system and 100 user-side response nodes are being established. Two 110KV substations, a circulating water system (with a water supply capacity of 50,000 tons per day), and a sewage treatment plant (with a treatment capacity of 10,000 tons per day) will be constructed as part of this facility. Upon completion, the project is expected to have an annual production capacity of 100,000 tons of hydrogen and 600,000 tons of methanol. Progress milestone: September 15, 2025 – Project registration has been completed. (Project registration)
