Launch of China's First Major Green Hydrogen-to-Aviation Fuel Plant

Launch of China's First Major Green Hydrogen-to-Aviation Fuel Plant

Fuel Cells Works | October 16, 2024

On October 14, 2024, a significant stride was made in sustainable aviation with the groundbreaking ceremony of the Shuangyashan Green Methanol and Green Aviation Fuel Demonstration Base. This ambitious project, spearheaded by China Energy Engineering and China Electric Power Engineering Consulting Group Co., Ltd., is located in the Shuangyashan Economic and Technological Development Zone, Heilongjiang Province. It is designed to fuse wind, solar, and hydrogen technologies with biomass to produce green aviation fuel.

The project aims to produce 200,000 tons of green methanol and 300,000 tons of green aviation fuel each year. The first phase of the project alone involves an investment of about 6 billion yuan ($857 million), focusing on producing 100,000 tons of green aviation fuel annually. This phase includes the construction of a 450-megawatt wind farm, a photovoltaic power station, a water electrolysis hydrogen production station, a biomass pretreatment plant, and a green aviation fuel synthesis plant, slated for operation by 2027.

“The first 100,000-ton green hydrogen-to-green aviation fuel demonstration project has startedConstruction begins on $3bn green-hydrogen-to-aviation-fuel plant in northeast China On October 14, the groundbreaking ceremony for the first phase of the Shuangyashan Green Methanol and Green Aviation Fuel Demonstration Base, a 100,000-ton wind-solar-hydrogen fusion biomass green aviation fuel demonstration project invested and constructed by China Energy Engineering China Electric Power Engineering Consulting Group Co., Ltd., was held," reported the project managers.

This plant is part of a broader strategy that involves the integration of energy, agriculture, chemical, and transportation industries...more
