The future can be expected! Shanxi Jinzhong methanol economy is at the right time

China Report (Reported by Yan Zhixuan) From the official rollout of the first long-range methanol heavy truck at Geely Jinzhong base, to the delivery of the world's first Geely methanol hybrid sedan at Jinzhong , and then to September 1 Today, the methanol economy sub-forum of the Taiyuan Energy Low-Carbon Development Forum will be held in Jinzhong... In the context of the low-carbon transformation and development of Shanxi energy, it is of great significance for Jinzhong to build a national-level methanol economy demonstration zone, and the development of the methanol economy in Jinzhong is justified. Time.

Starting from methanol car manufacturing, building a new ecology of methanol economy with 100 billion level Shanxi is a large coal province and the region with the most abundant methanol resources in the country. In 1982, it took the lead in starting the research on methanol vehicle and methanol fuel. It is the province with the most extensive demonstration area, the most complete demonstration technology and the longest duration in the country. . Accelerating the promotion and application of methanol fuel and methanol vehicles is a major measure for Shanxi Province to strive to be the vanguard of the national energy revolution and to promote the low-carbon and green transformation and upgrading of the industrial structure.

The fourth-generation Emgrand alcohol-electric hybrid sedan was delivered in Jinzhong, and became the designated vehicle for the methanol economy sub-forum of the 2022 Taiyuan Energy Low-Carbon Development Forum, which will provide green, low-carbon and technological travel services for the conference. Technological innovations such as green and low-carbon technological transformation of coal-to-methanol industry, resource utilization of CO2, and coupling with renewable energy green hydrogen and green oxygen will become a realistic and important way for clean and efficient utilization of coal.

"The basic market situation in Jinzhong, which is dominated by coal, is difficult to change in the short term. It is an inevitable choice to accelerate the high-end, diversified and low-carbon development of coal and realize the transformation from fuel to raw materials, materials and end products." Chang Shuming, deputy secretary of the Jinzhong Municipal Party Committee and mayor, has a clear idea, "it is the right time to build a national methanol economic demonstration zone, and the time cannot wait. Jinzhong must strive for the long-term and set sail for the construction of a national methanol economic demonstration zone."

To develop methanol industry, Jinzhong has unique advantages. "The research started early, the industrial base is excellent, the technical support is strong, and the supporting chain is long." In 2012, Jinzhong City has become one of the earliest pilot cities in the country to engage in methanol fuel and methanol vehicle applications, and it is also the only one that has passed the national acceptance. After 30 years of exploration, the methanol vehicle pilot city has a good first-mover advantage in methanol vehicle production, methanol fuel preparation technology, and methanol fuel filling.

The introduction of Geely Automobile is an important step in Jinzhong's layout of methanol economy. Geely Holding Group has been deeply involved in methanol vehicles for 17 years, and has successfully solved industrial problems such as alcohol resistance and durability of methanol engine parts, formed more than 200 core technology patents, and developed more than 20 methanol-fueled commercial vehicles and passenger vehicles. With nearly 30,000 vehicles in operation and a total operating mileage of nearly 10 billion kilometers, it has become the only enterprise in the world that mass-produces methanol vehicles and whose products are heading to Europe. It is at the international leading level in terms of technology maturity and product launch scale.

Jinzhong has the basic advantages of methanol industry, and Geely has the advantages of methanol automobile technology, which is a perfect match and complements each other.

At present, Jinzhong City is relying on the industrial foundation formed by the new energy vehicle industry cluster, and vigorously starts the construction of "National Methanol Economic Demonstration Zone", building a first-class methanol industry cluster, producing advanced methanol engines and methanol vehicles, Build a green methanol production and filling system, and move towards the goal of building a 100 billion-yuan methanol economy and ecology at full speed.

Scenarios Multiple Applications Jinzhong's methanol economy can be expected in the future

"The methanol economic development today, there is an urgent need to establish a global methanol economic demonstration area in areas with mature conditions, do a good job in industrial agglomeration, shape application scenarios, set a model, and use one place. Taking the lead in development to drive the comprehensive marketization of many places, and opening a new path for the rapid development of the methanol economy. This important task falls on Jinzhong. "

Chang Shuming introduced that Jinzhong has formed a supply chain from methanol fuel production and supply. To the green whole industry chain system of methanol automobile production and application. Shanxi New Energy Automobile with Geely as the CoreThe automobile industrial park currently has the longest chain, largest scale and most types in the automobile industry in Shanxi Province. By the end of the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the annual output of new energy vehicles in the industrial park will account for 95% of Shanxi Province. At the same time, expand a group, cultivate a group, and introduce a group of high-level on-chain supporting enterprises that focus on subdivision fields, promote the upstream and downstream linkage of the automotive industry chain, and strive to become the advanced manufacturing industry in the central urban agglomeration of Shanxi. Create a new landmark in the base strategy.

Geely Jinzhong base methanol heavy truck rolled off the production line, and delivered to China Railway Federation for the pilot operation project of double-trailer car train in Jinzhong.

"This is a methanol large pot stove, a stir-fry stove, a clay pot stove, a short soup stove, and a seafood steamer and a noodle bucket... The methanol stoves we developed cover more than 20 varieties of frying, steaming, and boiling, with a wide range of It is used in restaurants, hotels, people's homes and other places." Ma Jinchuan is very proud of the methanol-based scientific research products of the group.

Shanxi Yuneng Technology Development Co., Ltd. not only realizes the serial production of methanol commercial cooker exclusively in China. Its self-developed methanol fuel household heating stove is widely welcomed by the market due to its low-carbon environmental protection, convenient use and strong economical technical advantages. "Beginning in 2016, our company has piloted the application of methanol clean heating technology and achieved remarkable results; since 2018, it has invested 120 million yuan to implement the 'replacing coal with alcohol' project; in 2019, it has provided 8 counties ( District) enterprises and institutions, schools, and farmers to install methanol heating boilers.” In order to effectively activate resources and industrial advantages, coordinate to ensure energy security and promote economic development, and effectively solve the problem of carbon emissions from energy production and consumption activities, Jinzhong aims at methanol economy. Make a breakthrough and promote the smooth start of the construction of the national methanol economic demonstration zone of "one district, two parks and four sectors", led by the national methanol economic demonstration zone and supported by the "two parks" of methanol automobile equipment manufacturing and green methanol circular economy industrial park, Build a 100 billion-level industrial cluster including equipment manufacturing, biomass-to-methanol, coke oven gas-to-green methanol and methanol economic town "four sectors".

Produce 1 million tons of green methanol annually, produce 100,000 methanol passenger cars annually, build 1,000 methanol filling stations, produce 50,000 methanol extended-range heavy-duty trucks annually, and build 5 towns featuring green methanol economy. With the orderly advancement of the 11155" project, Jinzhong is moving steadily towards the goal of "crossing the oil and gas era and moving towards liquid sunlight".
