Building on several years of successful collaboration, as demonstrated by the world-first commercial scale eMethanol facility FlagshipONE, the partners’ common mission is to establish 80 standardised, state-of-the-art 100,000 tons eMethanol units by 2030, which are estimated to reduce CO2 emissions by 14 million tons CO2 per annum.
Claes Fredriksson, CEO and founder of Liquid Wind, explained, "The collaboration with our “community partners” has been great for several years, having initially started back in 2018 with a few partners. It is exciting to see our joint efforts intensifying, elevating the degree of both our integration and transparency. Since we began in 2018, numerous developments have taken place within Liquid Wind and also in the market. The coming years will be filled with stimulating and exciting value-generating teamwork."
With this latest expansion in its commitment, the partnership will increase production efficiency to further ramp up design and execution of plants to produce a nominal 100,000 tons eMethanol per year with the aim to develop and market an additional ten Core eMethanol Plants (CMP) before the end of 2027. These units will contribute significantly to the global eMethanol market and future reduction in emissions in hard-to-abate industries such as global shipping.
The partnership will continue to deliver industry leading ready-to-build eMethanol facilities that are quicker to fabricate, transport, construct, and commission, using partners’ innovative technologies and modular solutions. By pooling the partners’ technology expertise and capabilities, the partnership aims to unlock new, innovative, and effective fuel solutions for the shipping industry, other hard-to-abate industries, and society at large.
Aniruddha Sharma, Chair and CEO of Carbon Clean, said, “Our continued partnership with Liquid Wind demonstrates the role carbon capture must play in decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors, such as shipping. Carbon Clean’s modular point-source carbon capture technology is the most efficient and cost-effective means of decarbonizing many industries, and it will play a vital role in accelerating eMethanol facilities. I look forward to collaborating with the other industry leaders on many more projects to come – showcasing the U in CCUS as a perfect utilization example.”
