The M²ARE Project - Maritime Methanol: Adaptable, Renewable and Environmentally-friendly
Short Introductive summary
Today, waterborne transport is driven primarily by diesel engines (around 99%), using mainly heavy fuel oil (HFO), which tends to be high in sulphur, and middle distillate fuel (MGO). In 2019, shipping represented around 3-4% of all EU GHG emissions and around 13% of the transport sector. In response to the high demand for maritime decarbonized fuel, M²ARE project’s will deliver a methanol synthesis demonstration plant by mid-2027, using the existing pilot plant located at the Air Liquide Innovation Campus Frankfurt, Germany. This “Maritime Methanol” will be suited specifically to engine usage and aims at a CO2 emission reduction by more than 70% compared to conventional maritime fuels on a well-to-wake basis (the entire process of fuel production, delivery and use onboard ships, and all emissions produced therein).
