Tianjin’s first green methanol project: Tianjin Saihong Environment’s annual production capacity of 100,000 tons of biomass-based green methanol has been approved

Recently, the 100,000-ton-per-year biomass green methanol production project, led by Tianjin Ruihengmao Group and constructed by Tianjin Saihong Environmental Engineering Co., Ltd., received approval for initiation, marking the official entry of the project into its substantive construction phase. This development indicates that the planning for China’s first green, zero-carbon circular economy industrial park based on phragmites will soon begin in full force. 　　It is understood that the project is located in the Dagang Petrochemical Industrial Park in Binhai New Area, Tianjin. With a total investment of 1.034 billion yuan and a planned land area of approximately 97.15 mu, it is scheduled to begin operations in March 2027. Under this project, 60,000 mu of phragmites will be planted in the tidal flats and saline-alkali lands surrounding Tianjin. A new production line will be built on the company’s own land, with an annual output of 100,000 tons of green methanol, which can be used as fuel for vehicles and ships, or converted into new chemical materials such as polyethylene and polypropylene. 　　It is reported that the entire process of this project involves resource-based disposal: the by-product fly ash is used to produce organic fertilizer, wastewater is recycled, and green CO2 is converted into dry ice, thereby reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 288,000 tons per year. It is expected that once the project is put into operation, it will be able to produce Tianjin’s first batch of green methanol, which holds significant strategic importance for promoting the green transformation of the regional petrochemical industry.
