Once operational, the facility is expected to produce 50,000 tons of eMethanol starting in 2024. The new facility will upcycle carbon dioxide emissions and combine this with green hydrogen, made from renewable electricity and water to produce eMethanol.

The investment grant shows the strategic importance of eMethanol as a replacement for today’s marine fossil fuels.
“Global shipping currently uses 350 million tons fossil fuels per year. Thanks to Climate Leap, Liquid Wind and our partners will be able to accelerate the transition to green fuel and reduce CO2 emissions with more than 90%.”
