Clariant, a specialty chemicals company focused on sustainable development, announced today that it has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Shanghai Boiler Works.As a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shanghai Electric, Shanghai Boiler Works specializes in energy conversion and the development of new energy applications. Both parties will integrate their respective expertise to jointly promote the innovative development of sustainable energy solutions in China.This collaboration stems from the successful partnership between both parties in the Shanghai Electric Jilin Taonan Biomass-to-Green Methanol Project.

In addition to providing MegaMax catalysts, Clariant also offered on-site technical support during the successful startup of this plant with an annual capacity of 50,000 tons.The second phase of this project plans to produce 200,000 tons of green methanol and 10,000 tons of sustainable aviation fuel annually, and is expected to be put into operation in 2027.The formal signing ceremony for the cooperation between both parties was grandly held last week at the Clariant Innovation Center in Frankfurt, Germany.
