On March 20, the 10,000-ton/year demonstration project for producing green methanol from biomass at the Cangzhou branch of Sinopec Corporation was approved for registration. Approval document number: Cangxin Industry and Information Technology Reform Approval No. {2026}3. The project location is Wuming District, Nanning City, Guangxi. Cangzhou Branch of Sinopec Corporation is a refining and chemical enterprise under Sinopec Corporation. The green methanol initiatives being pursued by Sinopec include the following: On February 4, Hong Kong China Gas Company Limited signed a memorandum of cooperation with Sinopec (Hong Kong) Limited and Sinopec Group Xinxing Petroleum Co., Ltd., establishing a strategic partnership to carry out in-depth collaboration on clean energy sources such as hydrogen, green methanol, and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). This partnership aims to facilitate the implementation of relevant projects in Hong Kong, thereby contributing to the country’s \"dual carbon\" goals and Hong Kong’s low-carbon transition. Under the memorandum of cooperation, the three parties plan to work together in areas such as the promotion of hydrogen energy applications, the construction of hydrogen refueling stations, liquid hydrogen storage and transportation technologies, hydrogen charging stations, the use of green methanol in shipping, and the development of SAF. They will also consider establishing a joint venture to leverage their resource strengths, accelerate the commercialization of these projects and the development of relevant infrastructure, with the aim of creating a competitive hydrogen energy industry ecosystem.
