Zhejiang Jianlan Bioenergy Technology Co., Ltd. was established in October 2024 with a registered capital of 300 million yuan. It is a company under Jianlan Energy, focusing on the reuse of waste materials and the research and development of green energy technologies.
In April 2025, Lan Biology and Topso will sign a process technology licensing agreement; together they will build a bio-jet fuel production facility with an annual capacity of 300,000 tons in the Liujixiaoguoyu Green Petrochemical Development Zone in Zhoushan City, Zhejiang Province.
As a key construction project in Zhejiang Province and one of the “Thousand Projects, Trillion Yuan” initiatives, this project has a total investment of 1.57 billion yuan and covers an area of approximately 16.67 hectares. The main construction components include 1 set of bio-oil hydrogenation processing equipment with an annual capacity of 300,000 tons, 1 set of bio-oil pretreatment equipment with an annual capacity of 320,000 tons, 1 set of natural gas hydrogen production equipment with a capacity of 20,000 standard cubic meters per hour, 1 set of sulfur recovery equipment with an annual capacity of 50 tons, as well as various related auxiliary facilities. Once in operation, it will be able to process 320,000 tons of waste bio-oil per year, producing 225,000 tons of bio-jet fuel, while also generating by-products such as bio-naphtha and sulfur.
In January 2026, the project was in the final stages of pile foundation construction, with work progressing on completing the structure above ground level in the area in front of the factory; construction of key buildings such as the central control room, quality inspection center, and office building was also advancing as planned.
By March 2026, the main structures of the project, including the central control room, quality inspection center, and office building, will have been completed; the project will then enter the phase of equipment installation and related construction work. At the same time, efforts will be made to establish a raw material storage network to ensure a stable supply chain prior to operation. The goal is to complete all construction work and equipment commissioning by July 2026, enabling official completion and operation; upon completion, it will become a large-scale SAF production facility with leading technology in China.
