China's first green methanol bunkering for ro-ro ship completed in Tianjin

Tianjin, a key port city with proximity to green methanol production bases in North China, is actively advancing its green fuel industry. The port is equipped with dedicated infrastructure, including specialized liquid chemical berths, methanol storage tanks and dedicated railway lines.

This successful bunkering demonstrates Tianjin Port's capability for large-scale green methanol supply, marking a significant milestone for China's ports in supporting the global low-carbon transition, said Jiang Bingyu, an official from the Tianjin Investment Promotion Bureau.

The wider adoption of green methanol is poised to drive the energy transformation of the shipping sector and contribute significantly to international emission reduction goals, according to industry analysts.
