The 300,000-ton green methanol project in Tieling, Liaoning, which also produces methanol protein, has been approved

On October 23, the Tieling carbon cycle biomass-based green alcohol and protein co-production project was approved for registration. The project uses non-food biomass straws as raw material and aims to produce 300,000 tons of green alcohols per year, including 244,000 tons of green methanol. All of the green methanol produced will be used for the manufacture of methanol protein, with an expected annual output of 92,200 tons of methanol protein. On September 4, 2025, a symposium on the straw resource utilization project of Tieling Carbon Cycle Biotechnology Co., Ltd. was held. At the meeting, the company provided a detailed overview of the project plan and raised questions regarding issues such as ensuring the supply of raw materials and obtaining approval for land use. The relevant departments responded to each of the company’s requests, stating that they would offer strong support and guarantees for the project’s development. The implementation of this project will effectively promote the sustainable utilization of straw, enhance its economic value, contribute to the high-quality development of the agricultural circular economy, and inject new momentum into the growth of green industries in Tieling City. Tieling Carbon Cycle Biotechnology Co., Ltd. was established on August 18, 2025; its legal representative is Shi Junlong, and the registered capital is 20 million yuan. The production of methanol protein uses methanol as the primary carbon source, and through the fermentation by specific microorganisms (such as bacteria and yeasts), protein-rich microbial cells are synthesized. After processes such as separation, purification, and drying, these microbial cells ultimately result in methanol protein products in powder or granular form. Its protein content can typically reach 40%-80%, with a relatively balanced amino acid composition. As a high-quality protein feed additive, it is used in the rearing of pigs, chickens, fish, and other livestock and aquatic species; it can replace part of the fish meal and soybean meal, reducing feed costs and alleviating the shortage of protein feed supplies. With the continuous increase in global demand for proteins, and the push toward green production driven by the \"dual carbon\" goals, methanol protein, particularly those produced using biomass-based green alcohols as raw materials, holds great market potential.
