100 electrolyzers, 500,000 tons of green methanol! On January 23, information available on the Online Approval Portal for Investment Projects in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region showed that the industrial project registration application submitted by Chifeng Tianji New Energy Co., Ltd. for the integrated wind and solar hydrogen production project in Songshan District, Chifeng (the hydrogen and alcohol production portion), met the industry policies and market access standards, and thus was approved for registration. Construction location: Chifeng City -- Songshan District -- northwest of the intersection of Street 5 and Road 6 in Anqing Industrial Park, Songshan District, Chifeng City. Total investment: 50,000 million yuan, of which self-funded capital amounts to 15,000 million yuan; bank loans applied for amount to 35,000 million yuan, with no other funding sources. Planned construction period: from May 2026 to August 2028. Construction scale and details: I. Project content: The project covers an area of approximately 1,150 mu, and will include 100 electrolyzers with a hydrogen production capacity of 1,000 Nm³/h, as well as 40 hydrogen storage tanks with a capacity of 2,000 m³ each. The annual hydrogen production capacity will be 40,500 tons. In addition, a methanol production line with an annual output of 500,000 tons along with related facilities will be built. II. Project implementation plan: The project will be constructed in two phases. In Phase 1, 30 electrolyzers with a hydrogen production capacity of 1,000 Nm³ each are planned to be installed, along with 12 hydrogen storage tanks with a capacity of 2,000 m³ each and a design pressure of 1.6 MPaG; the annual hydrogen production capacity for this phase will be 12,200 tons. In Phase 2, 70 electrolyzers of the same capacity will be installed, along with 28 hydrogen storage tanks of the same capacity, resulting in an annual hydrogen production capacity of 28,300 tons. The capacity of Phase 1 for green methanol is 150,000 tons per year, while the capacity of Phase 2 is 350,000 tons per year. III. Production process: Methanol is synthesized by combining hydrogen produced through water electrolysis with carbon-containing gases generated from biomass gasification.
