November 6 – The People's Government of Juxian County, Shandong Province, has issued the first public notice inviting participation in the environmental impact assessment (EIA) of a 200,000-tonne-per-year green hydrogen, methanol and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) co-production project developed by Shandong Shanke Rongfa Pilot Base Co., Ltd.

The project will be located in Rizhao Haiyou Chemical Industrial Park in Juxian County, Rizhao City, Shandong Province. It will cover approximately 485.7 mu (323.8 hectares) and involve a total investment of RMB 6.06 billion (approximately US$908 million).

The project will be developed in two phases. Each phase will include one unit each for biomass grinding and gasification, syngas purification, green hydrogen production through renewable electricity-powered water electrolysis, methanol synthesis and distillation, biomass-based SAF production through Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, and hydrocracking, isomerisation and distillation.

The two phases will share supporting utility infrastructure, including circulating water, low-temperature water, demineralised water, compression, power transformation and distribution, fire protection, wastewater treatment and flare systems.

Each phase is designed to produce 50,000 tonnes of green methanol and 50,000 tonnes of SAF annually. Once both phases reach full production, the project will have an annual output capacity of 100,000 tonnes of green methanol and 100,000 tonnes of SAF.

Additional by-products will include naphtha fractions, wax fractions and steam.
