Recently, the online approval hall for investment projects in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region officially announced that the Zhongke One Carbon Keshiketeng Banner Wind and Solar Hydrogen Production to Methanol and SAF Integration Project, with a total investment of 7.5 billion yuan, has completed the filing and approval process. The implementation of this major project not only marks a crucial step for Zhongke One Carbon in the layout of the entire green energy industry chain, but also injects new momentum into the construction of clean energy bases in northern China, helping the aviation industry achieve dual breakthroughs in decarbonization and high-value utilization of new energy.

It is reported that the project is located in Keshiketeng Industrial Park, Chifeng, and is led by Zhongke One Carbon Energy Technology (Chifeng) Co., Ltd. As a core project under Zhonghan Science and Technology Economic Development Corporation, it relies on the parent company's technological accumulation and resource integration capabilities in the field of energy technology. The project plan construction period is from April 2026 to December 2027, and will build a closed-loop industrial chain of "green electricity green hydrogen green alcohol SAF", creating a benchmark project for the deep coupling of new energy and green chemical industry. Specifically, the project will be promoted in three core areas: firstly, the construction of an electrolytic water hydrogen production line, equipped with a complete set of equipment for gas-liquid separation, purification, and purification, with an annual output of 62500 tons of green hydrogen after reaching production capacity; The second is to establish a green methanol synthesis system, which can produce 500000 tons of green methanol annually through biomass gasification and combined purification technology; The third is to build a SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) synthesis production line, achieving a large-scale output of 100000 tons of green aviation fuel per year.

The core advantage of the project lies in its deep integration with the rich local scenic resources in Inner Mongolia, and its ability to overcome multiple industry pain points. As a clean energy rich region in the north, Keshiketeng Banner will provide stable green power support for projects with sufficient wind and solar energy, achieving an efficient closed-loop of "wind and solar power generation on-site consumption fuel conversion" and effectively resolving the problem of "wind and solar power abandonment" in new energy. As a key solution for short-term decarbonization in the aviation industry, the terminal product SAF, with an annual production capacity of 100000 tons, will significantly alleviate the shortage of green aviation fuel in China, help the aviation industry cope with international carbon reduction pressure, and fill the industrial gap in large-scale SAF production in China. At the same time, green methanol, as an important chemical raw material and clean energy carrier, will also provide key support for the green transformation of the regional modern coal chemical industry.

From the perspective of Zhongke One Carbon's industrial layout, this project is an important milestone in its deep cultivation of the green energy track. As a comprehensive enterprise spanning scientific research and technological services, as well as high-end manufacturing, Zhongke One Carbon has established multiple subsidiaries in Dalian, Heilongjiang and other places in recent years, forming a multi-point collaborative green energy industry matrix. The 7.5 billion yuan investment in Inner Mongolia this time is precisely due to the local resource endowment and policy support, and the industrialization of technological achievements through integrated projects, fulfilling the development requirements of "new quality productivity". The project leader stated that the project will integrate multiple cutting-edge technologies, ensure low-carbon and efficient operation of the entire industry chain through intelligent production and refined management, and is expected to become a replicable and promotable green energy industry development model in the future.

Under the guidance of the "dual carbon" target, the construction significance of this project is profound. From the perspective of regional development, the completion of the project will directly drive the development of upstream and downstream industries such as hydrogen energy, green chemicals, and high-end equipment manufacturing in Chifeng, creating a large number of job opportunities and injecting lasting momentum into the high-quality development of the local economy; From the perspective of industry impact, its large-scale production capacity of green hydrogen, green alcohol, and SAF will promote the upgrading of China's green fuel industry chain and enhance its core competitiveness in the global green aviation fuel field; From the perspective of ecological value, the project replaces traditional fossil fuels with clean energy conversion, and is expected to reduce a large amount of carbon dioxide emissions annually, providing solid industrial support for the blue sky defense battle.

At present, the project has completed the preliminary filing and site selection planning, and is advancing the construction drawing design and equipment procurement bidding work. The local government will also provide comprehensive guarantees for the project, including land use, approval, and policy support, to ensure the smooth commencement of construction as planned. After the completion and operation of the project in 2027, it will become a leading integrated demonstration base for wind solar hydrogen alcohol SAF in northern China, providing important practical samples for the high-value utilization of new energy, decarbonization of the aviation industry, and regional energy structure transformation.Editor/Bian Wenjun
