Researchers at the East China University of Science and Technology have developed a technology that converts food waste into green methanol, a sustainable fuel for ships, achieving over a 30% cost reduction. This initiative, supported by the Shanghai Science and Technology Commission and various industry partners, successfully produced green methanol that meets maritime fuel standards during its pilot phase. The technology employs advanced systems to promote the shipping industry's transition to low-carbon fuels, aligning with global net-zero emissions goals by 2050.
