Due to a growing natural gas shortage, several gas stations in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, have faced supply cuts, forcing over 5,000 vehicles that were originally converted to run on natural gas to switch back to gasoline. This sudden shift has led to increased demand for ethanol gasoline in the city, creating temporary shortages. Since November, the pressure on natural gas supplies has intensified as winter usage peaks. To manage this, the Zhengzhou Gas Company imposed restrictions on eight vehicle refueling stations, leaving many converted gas vehicles with no choice but to use oil instead. This surge in demand for gasoline has put pressure on the local ethanol gasoline market, particularly the 90-hour ethanol blend. However, officials from the Henan Provincial Ethanol Gasoline Promotion Office assured the public that the city would not face a severe shortage. They mentioned that additional ethanol gasoline is being transported into Zhengzhou through multiple channels, including thousands of tons of fuel being delivered to maintain stable supplies. Meanwhile, Tianguan Group, a major ethanol producer in the region, has ramped up its production capacity. With both old and new production lines operating at full capacity, the company now produces 500,000 tons of fuel ethanol annually. Of this, 300,000 tons are allocated for the Henan market, while 200,000 tons are supplied to neighboring provinces like Hebei and Hubei. To ensure efficient distribution, Tianguan has also launched a dedicated railway line between its plant and the Ningxi Railway, which was recently activated. Additionally, more than 50 tank trucks have been deployed to guarantee reliable delivery of ethanol gasoline under all weather conditions. In a separate development, Shaanxi Province is preparing to pilot methanol gasoline. The provincial office responsible for promoting methanol and diesel has completed all necessary preparations and plans to officially launch the program next month after a mobilization meeting. The pilot will initially involve 450 buses and taxis in four cities: Xi’an, Baoji, Yan’an, and Yulin, with cold-weather trials in Yan’an and Yulin. Over 30 mobile refueling units will support the pilot, and all participating vehicles and refueling stations will be clearly marked. Authorities have emphasized that only authorized stations can provide methanol-blended fuel, and any substandard products will be strictly prohibited. The pricing for methanol gasoline has also been set, with M3.8-90 costing 3.88 yuan per liter and M15-93 priced at 4.11 yuan per liter. Shaanxi's methanol industry is growing rapidly, and the province has already established local standards for M15 and M25 blends. The current pilot uses M15 (15% methanol) and is expected to last no longer than six months, with potential nationwide expansion if successful.
