Storage terminal operator Vopak plans to repurpose some of its existing storage tanks in Tianjin port in Northern China for alternative fuels like green methanol, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), and potentially for ammonia and liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC).

The Dutch terminal operator will work closely with Tianjin Port Group to develop a “green methanol bunkering service solution” at its facilities in the Chinese port, it said.

It has not disclosed details on green methanol bunkering capacity or how soon it can be established.

Vopak’s terminal in Tianjin currently has 35 storage tanks with a total capacity of around 375,300 cbm used for chemical and gas storage.
