On December 23, Shanghai Electric reached a significant milestone by obtaining ISCC EU certifications for the entire process—from biomass collection and storage to biomass processing, and the production of bio-methanol through biomass gasification and green hydrogen production. This accomplishment positions Shanghai Electric as the first green methanol supplier in China to earn full-process ISCC EU certification, covering every stage from raw material collection to final production.
The certification applies to the integrated wind power and bio-methanol demonstration project in Taonan, Jilin Province, solely invested by Shanghai Electric’s subsidiary Lvyuan Technology (Jilin) Co., Ltd. This groundbreaking project collects agricultural biomass residues, processes them through cutting-edge pretreatment, and converts them into green methanol using advanced gasification, integrated wind-to-hydrogen systems, synthesis, and distillation technologies. The result is green methanol fuel that meets stringent maritime standards. Additionally, the project incorporates ISCC EU-certified intermediate storage and refueling facilities, creating a fully traceable lifecycle system for green methanol production from raw materials to end users.
The International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) is a globally recognized certification system for sustainability and carbon accountability. ISCC EU certification, in particular, is a mandatory requirement for green energy products entering the European Union’s energy market. It ensures compliance with the EU’s Renewable Energy Directive II (RED II) for biofuels, bioliquids, and biomass fuels.
Securing ISCC EU certification marks a significant breakthrough in China’s green methanol sector. The Taonan project becomes the country’s first large-scale green methanol production initiative to utilize biomass and green hydrogen as raw materials, meeting international sustainability standards across the entire value chain. This certification also validates Shanghai Electric’s comprehensive technical solutions for large-scale green methanol synthesis, which are underpinned by proprietary core technologies and equipment. The accomplishment underscores the company’s technological leadership and lays a solid foundation for promoting green methanol production across China.
