Powering global maritime decarbonization, Shanghai Electric delivers first large-scale biomethanol bunkering for international shipping

This month, Shanghai Electric completed its first large-scale biomethanol bunkering for the CMA CGM OSMIUM vessel at Shanghai's Yangshan Port, coordinated by Shanghai International Port Group for the CMA CGM Group.
Shanghai Electric's Taonan project in Jilin Province serves as China's first large-scale commercial biomethanol facility, leveraging the region's abundant wind, solar, and biomass resources.
Annual output of 50,000 tons produces biomethanol meeting International Sustainability and Carbon Certification standards, integrating proprietary oxygen-blown pressurized biomass gasification technology.
Compared with conventional coal-based methanol, the biomethanol delivers significant lifecycle carbon emission reductions, providing the global shipping industry with a reliable low-carbon fuel option.
Moving forward, Shanghai Electric plans to deepen its industrial application of biomethanol technology, strengthening collaboration with global shipping and port operators to expand its presence.
