Clarify the requirement
Define the application, location, intended scope and open technical questions before approaching potential partners.
I work in hydrogen and carbon capture. I help international teams explore Chinese technologies, clarify project needs and start conversations with relevant suppliers and technology partners, with a particular focus on the Middle East.
Start with a specific hydrogen or carbon capture requirement. We can clarify what you need, explore relevant Chinese capabilities and agree what support would be useful.
Define the application, location, intended scope and open technical questions before approaching potential partners.
Identify relevant capabilities and evidence gaps. Separate supplier statements from independently documented or directly confirmed information.
Where agreed and feasible, help organize initial technical exchanges and track unanswered questions. Scope, representation, timing and fees are agreed first.
The latest Carbon2X edition examines the costs, constraints and infrastructure choices that determine what can scale.
A September 2026 review of the power, buyer, infrastructure and certification questions behind Middle Eastern hydrogen and green-fuel projects.

E-methanol, biomethanol, shipping demand, project economics, carbon sourcing and production pathways.
Direct air capture, biogenic CO₂, point-source carbon, utilization pathways and carbon-source credibility.
Electrolyzers, electricity economics, hydrogen cost curves, infrastructure and downstream molecule production.
Energy-intensive industries, infrastructure constraints, technology deployment and pathways to real-world scale.
Assume 10 MWh per tonne of methanol. This chart shows the electricity component only, not total production cost or a market-price forecast.
Calculation: price × 10 MWh/t. Selected scenario, reviewed 14 September 2026. The intensity assumption is consistent with the approximate 10–11 MWh/t discussion in IRENA and Methanol Institute (2021), p. 44, with CO₂ supplied. It is not a current plant guarantee.
In this scenario, a USD 10/MWh change adds or subtracts USD 100 per tonne of methanol in electricity cost.
Carbon supply, capital recovery, other utilities, storage and delivery still need to be included before comparing complete production routes.
The earlier illustrative biomethanol crossover curve has been replaced because its intersection was not backed by a documented project model.

My core focus is hydrogen and carbon capture, including alkaline electrolysis, DAC and industrial carbon capture. Green fuels and carbon utilization are related applications. Cooperation starts with a specific need and an explicit scope, not a promise of universal supply coverage.
Every edition remains available here and can be explored by topic as the Carbon2X research library grows.





I am Xin Yang. I hold a PhD in Power Engineering and work across new energy, hydrogen and carbon capture. Carbon2X brings together my professional background, research and interest in international cooperation.
I am the Founder of Beijing Zhonghe Qingyuan Technology Co., Ltd., focused on alkaline water-electrolysis catalysts and electrode materials, with work extending to electrolyzer design and system integration. I also serve as Deputy General Manager of Beijing Derunchen Environmental Technology Co., Ltd., working on the commercialization and international development of solid-amine carbon capture materials and process equipment for DAC and industrial applications.
My earlier experience includes energy investment and energy-transition research. I welcome conversations with international project teams, industrial companies and technology partners, particularly in the Middle East. Visit my LinkedIn profile for the detailed career history.
