CAS Liquid Sunshine (Shawan) Green-Hydrogen-Coupled Methanol Circular-Economy Project
Sector: Wind • Location: Shawan, Xinjiang, China
Source: Hydrogen Insight
A green hydrogen and methanol project in Xinjiang, northwest China, powered by a 13.5GW solar array. The project will produce 3.6 million tonnes of methanol annually from an estimated 675,000 tonnes of hydrogen. The methanol will be used alongside coal-derived benzene to produce polyester-fibre products such as PET. The project incorporates a coal mine with an annual output of about one million to

Description
Description | A green hydrogen and methanol project in Xinjiang, northwest China, powered by a 13.5GW solar array. The project will produce 3.6 million tonnes of methanol annually from an estimated 675,000 tonnes of hydrogen. The methanol will be used alongside coal-derived benzene to produce polyester-fibre products such as PET. The project incorporates a coal mine with an annual output of about one million tonnes and uses an integrated zero-carbon circular-economy model combining wind, solar, hydrogen, and methanol to reduce coal use by two thirds and support energy saving and carbon reduction in industry. |
