China Tianying advances major e-methanol project
Project in northeast of country set to start up in 2025 as developer signs technology deal with Icelandic firm Carbon Recycling International
Chinese clean energy and recycling company China Tianying is on track to commission one of the world’s largest synthetic methanol production plants in 2025 after agreeing a major technology licensing and supply deal with Icelandic firm Carbon Recycling International (CRI). The project, sited in the city of Liaoyuan in the northeastern Chinese province of Jilin, is designed to have a first-phase production capacity of 170,000t/yr. It will use CRI’s ETL technology to produce synthetic methanol from green hydrogen and captured biogenic CO₂, with the flexibility to operate in line with fluctuating wind energy input. The project is the third commercial-scale plant to use CRI’s technology in China
