On September 21, the groundbreaking ceremony was held for the Liaoning Huadian Diaobingshan Wind-to-Hydrogen Coupling 100,000 t Green Methanol Integrated Demonstration Project, with a total investment of 3.945 billion yuan. The project focuses on the entire industry chain synergy of "wind and solar power, ESS, hydrogen, and methanol," aiming to create a new model for new energy industry integration in the Northeast region.
Project Core Indicators
- Scale and Size:
- Energy Supply Side: Construction of a 450 MW wind farm and supporting power transmission and transformation project, paired with an 80 MW/80 MW·h ESS power station.
- Hydrogen Hub: Deployment of 295 MW hydrogen production and storage facilities.
- Product Synthesis Side: Establishment of a 100,000 t/a methanol synthesis unit and storage station.
- Expected Capacity: Upon commissioning, the project is expected to produce 19,000 t of green hydrogen and 100,000 t of green methanol annually.
Technology Integration and Highlights
- Raw Material Innovation and Recycling: The methanol synthesis adopts the internationally leading carbon dioxide catalytic hydrogenation synthesis process. The required green carbon dioxide is sourced from the emission exhaust gas of the SDIC Bio-energy (Tieling) Co., Ltd. fuel ethanol plant, supplied directly via pipeline (the straight-line distance between the two plants is only 814 meters), achieving "turning waste into treasure" and building a win-win ecosystem for upstream and downstream enterprises.
- Entire Industry Chain Synergy: Following the closed-loop path of "green electricity - green hydrogen - green methanol," it integrates the entire industry chain of green hydrogen's "production, storage, transportation, and use." Leveraging the logistical advantages of Liaoning's coastal ports, it is expected to become a green methanol export base targeting domestic markets and radiating internationally.
Schedule and Investment
- Total Investment: 3.945 billion yuan.
- Project Impact: After commissioning, it will attract equipment manufacturing enterprises involved in hydrogen production power supply, PEM electrolyzers, alkaline electrolyzers, etc., to establish operations in Tieling, forming an industrial cluster and building Tieling City's hydrogen-based energy recycling industry base.
Regional Strategic Significance and Industrial Value
- Industrial Integration and Demonstration: It is a zero-carbon recycling demonstration project focusing on the entire industry chain synergy of "wind and solar power, ESS, hydrogen, and methanol," providing a new model for new energy industry integration in the Northeast region. It also offers zero-carbon fuel solutions for global shipping, chemical, and other sectors, contributing to the achievement of the "dual carbon" goals.
- Economic and Ecological Win-Win: It helps upstream ethanol plants address carbon emission challenges while supplementing the raw material gap for downstream methanol projects, achieving dual breakthroughs in pollutant reduction and industrial cost reduction. Simultaneously, it drives the development of local equipment manufacturing industries, injecting zero-carbon momentum into the comprehensive revitalization of Liaoning.
