Bright Spot | LONGi

As one of the world’s leading solar suppliers LONGi has transformed the way electricity is
generated worldwide. Originally founded as a solar technology company, LONGi was one of the
first to recognise the potential applications of abundant renewable energy supply.

We identified this opportunity back in 2018: as renewable – especially solar – costs would decrease, we expected an outbreak of installations, which could not all be absorbed by the grid. For abundant clean power, hydrogen production is a logical choice, and we believe methanol is the most promising application.

Lianyungang Green Methanol

Leveraging its established biomass gasification expertise and connecting local farming communities
with Chinese renewable energy potential, the company is now developing scalable green methanol
production technologies. The facility at Lianyungang city in China will process 800 kt of biomass
feedstock per year and produce 180 kt of bio-methanol, targeting the growing market for clean
shipping fuels.

E-methanol production requires intermittent renewable energy, while the chemical process requires stable conditions. This contrast necessitates the development of new, practical solutions. As first-movers, we have gained a great deal of expertise in designing processes and developing projects accordingly.

Mission Possible Partnership | MPP

Mission Possible Partnership (MPP) is an independent non-profit organisation advancing global clean industry transformation. Since 2019, we have been working with some of the most energy-intensive industries: aluminium, aviation, cement, chemicals, shipping and steel, to cut their nearly 25% of global GHG emissions. ​

We mobilise business, finance, government and civil society leaders to speed up the shift to clean materials, chemicals and fuels. Having charted sectoral pathways to net-zero, we continue to forge new territory, lifting the barriers to enable a critical mass of clean industrial projects to break ground by 2030.

Industrial Transition Accelerator | ITA

The ITA is a global multi-stakeholder platform -managed by Mission Possible Partnership – to fast-track decarbonisation across heavy-emitting industry and transport sectors.  It aims to significantly grow the pipeline of commercial-scale, clean industrial projects to reduce emissions by 2030.

Build Clean Now | BCN

Build Clean Now is a global campaign bringing together governments, companies and finance to accelerate the pace at which clean industrial projects are financed and built, year-on-year. It is led by the Industrial Transition Accelerator (ITA) and Mission Possible Partnership (MPP).
