Shanghai Electric has officially launched production at the first phase of its Taonan green hydrogen-to-methanol plant in Jilin, northeast China, delivering the first barrels of green methanol on July 14. This milestone makes the Taonan facility the world’s first commercial-scale project integrating wind power and biomass gasification to produce green methanol. The plant is expected to yield 50,000 tonnes of green methanol in 2025, with future expansions to hit 250,000 tonnes of e-methanol and 10,000 tonnes of green aviation fuel annually.
