On March 19, 2025, Wison Engineering hosted the signing ceremony for the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) contract of the ITC-WasteFuel Ankara Green Methanol Project at its Shanghai headquarters. This project represents a significant milestone as Turkey’s first initiative to convert biogas from waste treatment facilities into green methanol.

The ceremony was attended by key representatives from all involved parties, including Mr. David Trench, CEO of WasteFuel; Mr. Johan Fritz, Global Project Director of WasteFuel; Mr. Yavuz Kantur, General Manager of ITC; Mr. Zhou Hongliang, CEO of Wison Engineering; and other senior executives from Wison Engineering, including Mr. Qi Guosheng, Mr. Yuan Jun, Mr. Dun Li, and Mr. Liu Hengwei, alongside the company’s marketing team.

The ITC-WasteFuel Ankara Green Methanol Project aims to harness biogas generated from ITC’s waste treatment facilities in Ankara to produce sustainable methanol. As a prominent global energy and chemical EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) service provider, Wison Engineering will be responsible for the FEED design, setting the foundation for the project’s successful execution.

During the signing event, all parties expressed their enthusiasm and optimism about the collaboration. Mr. David Trench, CEO of WasteFuel, emphasized the importance of this phase in the project’s development, stating, “This next stage is critical, and we are pleased to have Wison Engineering as our partner. This project has the potential to become a benchmark in the global green methanol sector.”

Mr. Zhou Hongliang, CEO of Wison Engineering, echoed this sentiment, adding, “We are honored to work alongside WasteFuel and ITC in delivering the Ankara Green Methanol Project. This endeavor further strengthens our expertise in biogas-to-methanol technology and marks another major step in Wison Engineering’s evolution within the new energy sector. We are committed to leveraging our capabilities to ensure the project’s success.”

ITC Turkey’s General Manager, Mr. Yavuz Kantur, highlighted the project’s broader impact, stating, “Beyond producing a low-carbon fuel, this initiative offers an innovative solution for managing the 1.8 million tons of municipal waste currently processed at our Ankara site. Wison’s experience in executing groundbreaking energy projects gives me full confidence in this next phase.”

The signing of the FEED contract represents a major step forward for the ITC-WasteFuel Ankara Green Methanol Project. Green methanol is a low-carbon, renewable fuel with the potential to significantly reduce emissions in the shipping industry, supporting the sector’s transition to cleaner energy solutions.

Through this collaboration, Wison Engineering reaffirms its commitment to advancing sustainable technologies. By partnering with global stakeholders, the company aims to accelerate the adoption of green energy solutions and contribute to a more sustainable, low-carbon future for the global energy industry.
