I. The policy direction has shifted: from " Environmental protection support “to” an energy stabilizing force

Friends who make jars, there’s a big development lately that I think we should all talk about.

2026 year 8 In [month], the National Energy Administration released the “China Green Fuel Development Report.” 2026 》， for the first time, biogas was defined as " An important cornerstone and stabilizing force of the national green fuel system " . How many layers does this positioning have? To put it another way, in the past, biogas projects were seen by everyone as just a… " Environmental protection supporting facilities "—— Building a biogas digester at a farm and properly managing manure and wastewater is sufficient. But things have changed: the state has explicitly stated that biomethane is an energy infrastructure, on par with hydrogen energy—except that hydrogen energy is used to… " Deep decarbonization " , biomethane is about " How can we make the nation’s multi-million-kilometer natural gas pipeline network greener at low cost? "。

Immediately afterward, " Fifteen Five " Planning for the first time " Non-electric utilization " When referring to a strategic level of equal importance to electricity supply, it is required that the total scale of non-electric applications exceed… 2025 Year-over-year growth 1.5 times. The National Development and Reform Commission even set a strict target: by 2030 In [year], the annual production of biomethane is to increase from its current level of... 3 Cubic meters of dry gas to 200 Billion cubic meters.

3 hundred million to 200 hundred million, nearly doubled 70 倍. What does this mean? It means that in the coming years, demand for anaerobic digesters, gas storage tanks, and biogas upgrading equipment will surge in waves.

II. Henan Has Already Taken Action: The Crop-Livestock Integration Model Featured in the Economic Daily

10 month 13 On that day, the Economic Daily devoted an entire page to Henan’s integrated crop‑livestock circular model. As someone who makes earthenware jars in Xinxiang, Henan, seeing this was truly inspiring.

Let me start with a few figures: In Fan County, Puyang City, Muyuan Group has launched a… " Pig — Swamp — Grain " Crop-Livestock Integration Experiment —— The manure and wastewater from the farm undergo anaerobic digestion to produce biogas slurry and digestate, which are then delivered to rice fields via an integrated water–fertilizer system, achieving a chemical fertilizer substitution rate of 50% Last year, just the Muyuan company alone saw its water and fertilizer programs benefit farmland covering an area of 492 Ten thousand mu, and it has also been improved. 31 Ten thousand mu of saline-alkali land.

Furthermore, in Neixiang County, Nanyang, 5 Over the years, we have promoted more than a thousand fermentation tanks, along with配套… " Digital Demonstration Zone for Integrated Crop-Livestock Farming " After large-scale grain farmers began using biogas fertilizer, their chemical fertilizer application dropped from per mu… 100 Reduce to jin 50 jin, the cost of irrigating land has decreased from 70 Prices for multiple varieties have dropped to thirty or forty yuan, yet yields per mu have actually increased. 150 Jin.

It’s even worse over in Yexian County, Pingdingshan. —— China Pingmei Shenma Group has invested in a biomethane demonstration project that uses corn stover as feedstock and, once fully operational, will annually process agricultural waste. 20 Ten thousand tons, emission reduction CO2 8 Ten thousand tons.

What is the core process of these projects? Anaerobic digestion. And what is the key piece of equipment in anaerobic digestion? The digester. We’re in the business of manufacturing digesters, and we’ve hit a golden era.

III. Turning Palm Oil Wastewater into Biogas: The Southeast Asian Market Is Booming

Now let’s turn to overseas markets. In Southeast Asia, palm oil wastewater ( POME ) Biogas utilization is accelerating.

10 month 8 On [date], Indonesia’s national natural gas company ( PGN ) announced plans to inject biogas (bio‑methane) produced from palm oil wastewater into Indonesia’s natural gas grid. This is not a pilot project; it is an official initiative being advanced by the national pipeline operator.

Indonesia PTPN IV Palm oil company in Riau Province’s 6 A biogas facility reduced emissions in just one year. 88,608 ton CO2 Equivalent. 4 Boiler seat co-firing，2 Direct power generation from the site. There is also a project in Sumatra that uses… POME Biogas power generation 4MW , enough 600 Household electricity consumption.

How big is the palm oil industry in Southeast Asia? In Indonesia alone, there are hundreds of palm oil mills, each with… POME It needs to be managed. Once an environmental liability, it is now an energy asset. This transformation hinges on anaerobic digestion tanks.

Colleagues in the foreign‑trade canning industry have likely noticed that, over the past year or two, inquiries from Southeast Asia for palm‑oil wastewater treatment projects have increased markedly. This is no coincidence—it’s driven by policy. + The result of dual‑engine growth driven by carbon‑trading revenues.

IV. Producing Green Methanol from Food Waste: CNOOC Completes Its First Refueling Transaction

There is another line worth noting: food waste. → Anaerobic fermentation → Biogas → Green methanol.

CNOOC Chemical has completed China’s first-ever green methanol bunkering operation in Yangpu Port, Hainan, using municipal waste as feedstock. The technological pathway is clear: pre-treatment of food waste. → Anaerobic fermentation for biogas production → Biogas purification → Synthesize green methanol. The entire value chain has been fully integrated. " Waste reduction — Resource circularization — Greening of Energy "。

The core process remains anaerobic fermentation. 200 ton / Kitchen waste, after passing through an anaerobic reactor, is converted into biogas under the action of microbial communities. Throughout this process, the tank’s airtightness, corrosion resistance, and thermal insulation performance directly determine gas‑production efficiency and operational stability.

Green methanol is a leading pathway for decarbonizing the shipping industry, with Maersk and COSCO Shipping both betting on methanol as a fuel. Going forward, demand for it is only set to grow.

V. How do you tell if a jar is genuine?

Policy, market, and technology are all converging in the same direction: demand for anaerobic digesters is set to grow steadily over the next few years.

From 3 Yifang arrives at 200 Yi Fang, who’s going to make the jar in the middle?

As a manufacturer with over a decade of experience in bolted storage tanks, we at Shuman would like to share a few thoughts with our industry peers and potential customers:

In conclusion

In the biogas industry, in the past it was… " Build ponds to receive subsidies " , now is " Producing green gas earns real money. "。200 Yifang’s goals are clear, and there will be no shortage of work to do.

We’re in the can business—our job is simply to make great cans.
