In recent years, with the increasing call for green transformation in the global shipping industry, green methanol is gradually emerging and becoming an important supporting force for achieving this transformation goal. Due to its extremely low carbon emissions during production and use, green methanol can not only be used directly as a clean fuel, but also as a hydrogen energy carrier, effectively solving the problem of hydrogen energy storage and transportation. According to the DNV Alternative Fuel Insight data platform, in January 2024, the number of new ship orders using methanol fuel reached 23, compared to only 10 LNG powered ships. The forecast of COSCO Shipping further confirms the broad prospects of green methanol. It is expected that by 2030, the demand for green methanol in the shipping industry will reach an astonishing 100 million tons. However, the current global production capacity is far from meeting this demand.

In this context, Goldwind Technology actively expands green methanol production capacity with industry partners based on its advantages in renewable energy business. In November 2023, Goldwind Technology partnered with world shipping giant A P. Muller Maersk has signed a long-term green methanol procurement agreement with an annual production capacity of 500000 tons to support Maersk's first batch of 12 large methanol dual power ships to achieve low-carbon operation, with an expected first production in 2026. This agreement is the first large-scale green methanol procurement agreement in the global shipping industry, which will be valid until after 2030. The methanol production in the agreement includes green biomass methanol and electricity to methanol, which will be produced in the 500000 ton green methanol coupling project of Jinfeng Technology's Xing'an League wind power, achieving the production of green fuel using green electricity and supporting the green closed-loop development of green shipping.

The project covers a total area of over 1800 acres and is expected to achieve an annual production capacity of 500000 tons of green methanol after completion and operation. The base will be built into a model of modern green methanol manufacturing base with advanced technology, complete equipment, and excellent efficiency. During the construction process, the base will focus on environmental protection and sustainable development, committed to reducing carbon emissions in the production process, improving resource utilization efficiency, and making positive contributions to promoting the development of green shipping industry.

Su He, Deputy Secretary of the Xing'an League Committee, stated that Xing'an League adheres to driving the development of new industries with new energy. The 500000 ton green methanol project of Goldwind Technology is a landmark project for Xing'an League to build a green hydrogen production base for synthetic ammonia and green methanol in eastern Mongolia. We will use this project to accelerate the progress of major projects in the entire league, injecting strong impetus into the high-quality economic and social development of Xing'an League. I hope that Goldwind Technology and its leading enterprises can continue to pay attention to and invest in Xing'an, share development opportunities with us, and create brilliant careers together.

Cao Zhigang, President of Goldwind Technology, stated that the implementation of this project not only marks the birth of the world's first large-scale wind power green methanol project, but also achieves unprecedented coupling between renewable energy and green fuels, opening up a new development path for the production of green fuels. This innovative project not only demonstrates the company's profound strength in the field of green energy technology, but also plays a positive role in promoting local economic growth and long-term development of the green industry. By organically combining local resource advantages with emerging industries, this project has successfully closely linked the three major industries of agriculture, manufacturing, and transportation, achieving multi industry linkage and bringing considerable innovative value for green development to the whole society.

Xie Wenxuan, the development manager of Maersk China's decarbonization business, said about Goldwind Technology's project that the Xing'an League region has abundant biomass resources, which provide valuable green carbon sources for the production of green fuels. Goldwind Technology has achieved outstanding results in local wind power construction, providing massive green electricity for the production of green fuels, thus achieving a green closed-loop of the project and ensuring comprehensive environmental protection from raw materials to production processes. Maersk, as a company committed to sustainable development, has set an ambitious goal of achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions for all businesses by 2040. The methanol procurement agreement reached with Goldwind Technology is of great significance to Maersk.

Xie Wenxuan emphasized that Goldwind Technology's project not only demonstrates the deep cooperation between the two sides in the field of green energy, but also reflects the joint responsibility and responsibility of the two companies in promoting global green transformation.

The 500000 ton green methanol coupling project of Goldwind Technology in Xing'an League is a benchmark project for global green fuel and low-carbon development, and an important milestone project in promoting the green transformation of the shipping and chemical industries. The successful implementation of this project has effectively promoted the transformation of energy structure, strengthened the security and stability of energy supply. At the same time, this project plays a catalytic role in industrial innovation, promoting the synchronous development of key technologies and markets in the new energy hydrogen production+industry chain. This project has also effectively promoted the diversification of rural economy and the upgrading of agricultural industry, significantly enhancing the resilience and adaptability of rural economy.
