World's First Large-Capacity Methanol-Hydrogen Boiler Successfully Ignited

Zhundong, Xinjiang — November 17, 2025 — FangKuai Boiler Co., Ltd. today announced the successful first firing and commissioning of what the company describes as the world’s first large-capacity, dual-fuel boiler capable of operating on both methanol and hydrogen. The boiler, custom-designed for the Zhundong industrial base in Xinjiang, has commenced stable commercial operation.

The project delivers a high-tonnage steam generation solution engineered to switch between green methanol and green hydrogen according to production requirements, fuel availability and economic considerations. According to FangKuai, the system provides enhanced operational flexibility for energy-intensive facilities while supporting low-carbon fuel deployment.

“This commissioning represents a significant technical achievement for large-scale, alternative-fuel steam generation,” said [Name], Chief Technology Officer at FangKuai Boiler. “By integrating adaptive combustion control and fuel-specific optimization, the unit can meet industrial steam demand reliably while enabling a pathway toward reduced carbon intensity where low-carbon fuels are available.”

Key technical and operational features highlighted by the company include:

• An intelligent dual-fuel control system that automates safe transition and stable combustion between methanol and hydrogen.

• Combustion optimization tailored to the differing properties of methanol and hydrogen to maintain efficiency and emissions control across operating conditions.

• System-level safety measures and reliability protocols designed for large-capacity operation and continuous industrial service.

FangKuai noted that hydrogen combustion produces no direct CO₂ emissions at the point of combustion, and that green methanol can serve as a lower-carbon alternative to conventional fossil fuels depending on feedstock and production methods. The dual-fuel arrangement is intended to allow operators to select the most appropriate fuel based on availability, cost and sustainability objectives.

The company said the unit fills a gap in the market for high-capacity boilers capable of using these emerging low-carbon fuels and may serve as a replicable solution for other industrial sites pursuing fuel-switching strategies and decarbonization goals.

FangKuai has been developing clean-combustion technologies and reports several years of research and testing in support of the project. The company plans to continue refining the technology and supporting further demonstrations and deployments that align with regional and national emissions-reduction targets.
