On September 11, 2024, LONGi Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. made important progress in Urat Houqi, Bayannaoer City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and its green methanol project was officially filed with the Development and Reform Commission of Urad Houqi. The project is located in the Urad Houqi Industrial Park, with a total investment of up to 2,365.8 million yuan, and is expected to be implemented in phases from October 2024 to June 2027. The project is planned to be constructed in two phases, with the first phase targeting an annual output of 190,000 tons of green methanol, covering core processes such as biomass gasification, purification, methanol synthesis and distillation, and equipped with complete auxiliary facilities such as thermal power station and circulating water system to ensure an efficient and environmentally friendly production process.

Yuanyu Energy Co., Ltd. has also taken a key step in Urat Zhongqi, Bayannaoer City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, with its green methanol project with an annual output of 1 million tons being approved by the Development and Reform Commission of Urad Zhongqi on September 9, 2024. The project is located in the Ganqimaodu Port Processing Park, with a total investment of 3.8 billion yuan, and is scheduled to start in September 2024 and be fully completed in December 2027. The project innovatively uses wind and solar power generation and water electrolysis technology to produce green hydrogen and green oxygen, which are combined with biomass gasification syngas to achieve large-scale production of green methanol. The project covers a total area of more than 338,000 square meters, with a total construction area of nearly 252,000 square meters, demonstrating the great importance attached to green energy and circular economy.

Yuanyuan Energy Phase I: Focusing on the green methanol production capacity of 500,000 tons/year, with a total construction area of about 189,000 square meters, covering the all-round construction from comprehensive office buildings to various production units and environmental protection facilities, to ensure the safety, efficiency and environmental protection of the production process.

Yuanyuan Energy Phase II: Continue to expand its production capacity to another 500,000 tons/year, with a total construction area of about 63,000 square meters, focusing on the construction of various units and supporting facilities directly related to production, so as to consolidate and improve the overall production efficiency and production capacity scale.

The successive implementation of the two major projects marks a solid step in promoting green energy transformation and chemical industry upgrading in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and also sets a new benchmark for the development of green methanol industry nationwide.Editor/Jiang Mingyue
