Under the strategic layout of promoting diversified application of green energy, the Yangtze River Delta region has achieved significant breakthroughs. Recently, the 180000 ton per year green methanol project, jointly invested by Longi Green Energy, Zhongsheng Technology, and Lianyungang Port Holdings Group with a total investment of 3 billion yuan, has officially signed and landed in Ganyu District, Lianyungang, Jiangsu. As the first green methanol project in Jiangsu Province to adopt gasification method for preparation, this cooperation not only opens up a new path for regional green chemical industry, but also constructs a closed-loop model for the entire industry chain of wind, solar, green electricity, biomass utilization, green chemical industry, and port logistics, setting a replicable commercial model for the transformation of green energy in the Yangtze River Delta.

Driven by innovative technology, building a zero carbon circular industry chain

The project covers an area of approximately 430 acres and is planned to be completed and put into operation in the third quarter of 2027. The core innovation lies in the use of biomass gasification to produce synthetic gas for methanol production, achieving zero carbon emissions throughout the entire process from raw materials to products. After the completion of the project, it can consume about 1.2 million acres of agricultural waste such as straw every year, bringing more than 300 million yuan in additional income to local farmers. It not only solves the environmental pollution caused by straw burning, but also realizes the resource utilization of agricultural waste.

At the same time, the green methanol produced by the project will be used as a clean fuel to supply the shipping industry, effectively replacing traditional fossil fuels. This layout is timely, as the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has increasingly strict requirements for ship carbon emissions, and green methanol is becoming an important choice for decarbonization in the shipping industry. This project not only provides reliable clean energy guarantee for the Yangtze River Delta port cluster, but also promotes the optimization and upgrading of regional energy structure.

Multi party collaboration and win-win, creating a new paradigm for commercial implementation

This cooperation presents distinct characteristics of resource integration: Longi Green Energy, as a leading global solar technology company, provides overall green energy solutions; Zhongsheng Technology relies on its high-end equipment manufacturing advantages to output core technology and engineering support; Lianyungang Port Holding Group fully utilizes its logistics hub function to connect the key links between raw material input and product output; The government of Ganyu District provides comprehensive support for the implementation of projects through policy guarantees and optimization of the business environment.

This cooperation model of leading enterprises, technical experts, scene platforms, and government support breaks through the limitations of traditional energy projects working alone and forms an innovative consortium with complementary advantages and shared risks. This collaborative development pattern not only ensures the technical feasibility and economic rationality of the project, but also provides a replicable collaborative model for the commercial promotion of similar projects in the future.

The implementation of this project marks the deepening of China's green energy development from single power generation to diversified applications. Compared with traditional green hydrogen projects, green methanol is more convenient in storage, transportation, and application, especially as a shipping fuel and chemical raw material, with broad market prospects. The project achieves the unity of ecological and economic benefits by converting agricultural waste into high value-added green chemical products.

With the commissioning of the project in 2027, this green methanol production line with an annual output of 180000 tons will become an important component of the green energy supply system in the Yangtze River Delta region. It will not only drive local employment and industrial upgrading, but also promote the standardization and large-scale development of China's green fuel industry, providing new technological paths and commercial practices for addressing climate change and achieving dual carbon goals.Editor/Cheng Liting
