Support Low Carbon Development

Mar 29, 2022

On March 28, the Methanol car and long-range methanol heavy truck, developed and produced by Geely Holding Group, started a test and demonstration run in the Danish port of Aalborg, which was the first methanol car to run in Denmark. As a clean energy source, the green energy of methanol has become a strategic fuel to boost Europe's green energy transformation. The demonstration operation selected Geely's methanol vehicles with a mature technology that has been promoted in China, further improving the European methanol value chain.

On the same day, Trine Bramsen, Minister of Transport of Denmark, refilled Methanol for Geely Methanol vehicles and took a trial ride on a remote automobile methanol heavy truck. Green methanol cars will have a huge impact on Denmark's climate and environment, and even change the world, she said.

Low-carbon development has become a global consensus to upgrade methanol into green transformation strategic fuel

 

As the concept of sustainable development has obtained broad consensus around the world, the global economy is gradually shifting from the traditional growth model to green energy and high-quality development. Many countries, including China, have made carbon neutrality commitments. The transportation industry is a key area of concern in the process of global carbon neutralization, and the green energy of methanol is regarded as a strategic fuel for the transportation industry to achieve carbon neutralization.

 

Methanol is a low-carbon and oxygen-containing fuel with the characteristics of efficient combustion, clean emission, and renewable green properties. Methanol is liquid at room temperature and normal pressure, which makes it easy for storage, transportation, and application, as well as safer and more convenient for energy form conversion than other new and clean energy sources. It is worth mentioning that green energy methanol technology is also gradually maturing. Take electrolysis of water to produce hydrogen with renewable energy and synthesis of green methanol with captured carbon dioxide as an example. This technology can achieve carbon neutralization of green methanol in its whole life cycle from production to use.

 

 

Under the background of realizing a global carbon neutrality strategy and reducing dependence on traditional energy, methanol has gradually become an ideal new clean and renewable fuel recognized by the global industry due to its wide production sources, huge economic volume, and sustainable development of the whole industry chain.

 

● Continue to deepen the application of methanol technology in remote vehicles, so as to promote carbon neutrality in global transportation

 

The application of methanol fuel can be traced back to the United States and Europe in the 1980s and 1990s. In the 21st century, China has become the world's largest producer and user of methanol. After more than 40 years of development, the application of methanol fuel in the automotive field in China has been at the forefront of the world. In addition, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Germany, and other European countries have a far-reaching layout in wind power generation and bioenergy power generation, laying an energy foundation for the production of green methanol. Currently, the organization of methanol vehicle tests and demonstration operations is becoming an important measure for European countries to deepen green reform in the field of transportation.

 

Starting from energy security to green and low-carbon, Geely has been deeply engaged in the research and development, and application of methanol fuel and methanol vehicles for 17 years. As early as 2015, Geely invested in Iceland International Carbon Cycle Company, which uses geothermal energy to generate hydrogen and synthesize renewable methanol with captured carbon dioxide. This technology has been introduced into China.

 

At present, Geely has successfully developed a number of methanol-powered and methanol vehicles. As China's first new energy commercial vehicle brand, Geely remote control vehicle always adhere to the concept of zero carbon development, establish new energy of the country's largest commercial vehicle research institute, and has brought together over 2000 r&d engineers at home and abroad, the liquid hydrogen energy methanol power as road commercial vehicle one of the core technology products, so as to launch the world's first methanol heavy card. At present, the Company has successively developed 7 methanol commercial vehicles and 4 methanol commercial vehicle engines and applied for 80 methanol power-related patents for commercial vehicles.

Under the background of global carbon neutral strategy, transportation, much attention has been paid to the sustainable development of the remote car as a new force of commercial vehicles, integrated service providers to wisdom green capacity of science and technology is accelerating transformation, in order to Create The Wisdom of Interconnected, Leading Green Commercial as the vision, adhere to the technology and model innovation, make contributions to boost the global carbon neutral.
