Shanghai Electric and ECUST Jointly Built End-to-End Innovation System
Recently, the inauguration ceremony and launch meeting for the Shanghai Key Laboratory of Systems Engineering for High-Efficiency Synthesis of Green Fuels was held at Shanghai Boiler Works Co., Ltd. Guanghong Zheng, Inspector of the Science and Technology Commission of Shanghai Municipality, Lei Wu, Party Secretary and Chairman of Shanghai Electric Group, Xiaolong Jin, Vice President, Jiayou Qiu, Vice President and President of the Shanghai Electric Group Co., Ltd. Central Academe, Fuzhen Xuan, President, and Tao Li, Vice President of ECUST attended the event and jointly unveiled the laboratory.
The laboratory is led by Shanghai Electric Group and jointly established with ECUST. Oriented toward national strategies and the development needs of Shanghai’s green shipping sector, the laboratory will focus on tackling key technological bottlenecks in the high-efficiency synthesis and application of green fuels such as green methanol, green ammonia, and sustainable aviation fuel. Research efforts will center on three major areas: the high-efficiency synthesis of diversified green fuels, the development of high-efficiency clean power equipment, and AI-driven, digital twin-based flexible control technologies. The goal is to build a full-chain innovation system covering basic research, pilot-scale testing, and industrial application.
