On January 18, 2018, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released the public notice for the second batch of green manufacturing demonstration enterprises. Shengshi Fuyuan Methanol Manufacturing Co., Ltd. in Xiaoyi City, a subsidiary of Pengfei Group, became the only green factory recognized in Shanxi Province. Located in Xiaoyi City, Shanxi Province, the company leverages surplus coke oven gas generated by Pengfei Group’s 5-million-ton-per-year coking facility to produce methanol via low-temperature synthesis. Simultaneously, it employs a cryogenic liquefaction unit operating at –170°C to extract LNG, making it the first project nationwide to achieve industrial-scale co-production of methanol and LNG on a single process route. This project has fundamentally transformed the previous practice of venting and flaring coke oven gas, which previously polluted the air.

The project has fundamentally transformed the previous practice of venting and flaring coke oven gas—resulting in air pollution and resource wastage—and fully implements the state’s policies on energy conservation, emissions reduction, and environmental protection.

Pengfei Group places green development at its core, embraces both societal and national needs as its mission, and will take this recognition as Shanxi’s sole “Green Factory” as an opportunity to further strengthen its role as a model and catalyst. The company will comprehensively build a secure, green, intensive, and efficient clean energy supply system and a modern industrial framework, truly becoming a leading benchmark for green development in the coking industry—both in Shanxi and across the nation.
