SHANGHAI, Aug. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On August 17, Shanghai Electric Company (
SEHK: 02727, SSE: 601727) partnered with Shanghai International Port Group and CMA
CGM Group to conduct a biomethanol bunkering operation with a total volume of 8,000
metric tons, the largest single biomethanol bunkering operation on record. The bunkering
ceremony at Shanghai Yangshan Port was titled "Green Fueled Globe, Lead the Future".

The principal biomethanol supplier for this operation was Shanghai Electric’s Taonan
green methanol project. This operation not only marks a significant breakthrough
in supply volume but also indicates that the Taonan project is fulfilling stable
production and large-scale deliveries.

Behind this success lies a fully connected interprovincial green fuel supply chain
that serves as the core support. At the Shanghai International Shipping Green Fuel
Sustainable‑Development Conference held on June 30 this year, Shanghai, Jilin and
Liaoning officially launched the joint‑built green‑fuel transportation corridor.
It establishes the north‑to‑south methanol shipment route: production at the Taonan
project in Jilin, transit and storage at Dalian Port and final bunkering at Shanghai
Port.

As the core production capacity base of the transportation corridor, Shanghai Electric’s
Taonan green methanol project draws on Jilin’s abundant local wind and solar resources
as well as biomass feedstock. Deploying independently‑developed full‑set process
systems and core equipment, the facility is the world’s first large‑scale plant 
manufacturing biomethanol by combining green electricity and biomass. It meets the
ship‑bunkering requirements of Shanghai’s International Shipping Center and provides
crucial support for the development of the three major green‑fuel centers for international
shipping.

Shanghai Electric will continue to focus on the complete industrial chain covering
the production, storage, transportation and application of diversified green fuels.
The company will intensify research into pivotal core‑technologies and continuously
upgrade its integrated green fuel solution chain. Driving industrial advancement
through technology‑driven innovation, Shanghai Electric cooperates with partners
to accelerate construction on the integrated green-hydrogen-coupled-biomass gasification
Green-Methanol and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) project (Taonan Phase-II). The
company will steadily improve its large‑scale green‑fuel supply capacity for the
aviation and maritime sectors. Shanghai Electric shall further devote itself to 
fulfilling China’s national dual‑carbon goals and galvanizing the worldwide shift
to low‑carbon clean energy.
