The 2026 Biomass Gasification and Downstream Green Products Forum will be held on September 15–16 in Baicheng. The conference will explore capacity planning for green methanol, SAF, and green LNG, as well as market prospects for biomass gasification; biomass collection and transportation schemes; biomass crushing and molding pretreatment technologies and equipment; fixed-bed, fluidized-bed, entrained-flow, and pyrolysis gasification processes and demonstration experience; biogenic syngas purification technologies and equipment; process routes for biogenic syngas to downstream green products; and research progress and large-scale cultivation prospects of energy crops. The event will also include a visit to the Shanghai Electric Taonan Wind Power Coupled Biomass Green Methanol Integrated Demonstration Project.
2026 wind/solar power & H2/NH3/MeOH integration forum is to be held on Jul 15th in Changzhou. The conference would explore and discuss green ammonia and green methanol downstream application & market analysis, wind/solar power + H2/NH3/MeOH integration project general design & process improvement, wind power and PV development trend & green power cost prospect, water electrolysis to H2 process & equipment to be used in power waving environment, advanced processes and catalysts serving green ammonia production, biomass gasification & water electrolysis to green hydrogen coupling to green methanol process, CO2 hydrogenation to methanol demo projects & operation experiences, green ammonia and green methanol applicable international standards and certification procedures etc.
On Jun 22nd, NDRC, NEA et al in total four authorities jointly issued “Minimum Proportion Target of Renewable Energy Consumption & the Responsibility Weight System for Renewable Energy Electric Power Consumption Implementation Rules “(to be enacted since Aug 1st 2026).
For the first time renewable energy-based hydrogen, ammonia, methanol & sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production was clearly included in the rigid assessment of green electric power consumption & digestion responsibility.
NEA made an explanation on the “Rules” that, after years of cultivation, Chinese green H2/NH3/MeOH industries had experienced fast development and acquired the preliminary foundation for large scale exploitation and utilization. Up to Q1 2026, China had built 250kt/a, 700kt/a, 380kt/a and 1.70Mt/a capacities respectively for green hydrogen, green ammonia, green methanol and sustainable aviation fuel. By the same time, renewable energy non-electric use market competition capability remained rather week, causing the green value lack of effective conduction & market reflection, needing the formation of stable demand through further policy direction. Inclusion of non-electricity consumption in the assessment is conducive to accelerating the stimulation of non-electricity demand, promoting earlier realization of large-scale development, and providing strong support for expanding terminal decarbonization scenarios, establishing a novel-type energy system, and building China as an energy powerhouse.
In addition, in the aspect of actual practice, the state would coordinate the steady promotion of the renewable energy non-electricity industry development and the statistical computation system construction. In case of matured condition such as renewable energy to H2/NH3/MeOH production, it is advisable to be earlier included in the scope of supervision and regulation; if the statistical system needs for further revision, such as renewable energy heating (refrigeration), it would be allowed to waiting for the maturity of condition. Combining with the industry development requirement, in early stage the assessment can be conducted based on non-electricity consumption categories, such as conducting separate assessments on the consumption of renewable energy for hydrogen, ammonia, and alcohol production by individual producers.
