Renewable Methanol Production for the Shipping Industry -
M2ARE Project First of a Series of Factsheets
We're excited to launch the first of a series of factsheets - The Biogenic Solution for Maritime Decarbonisation, produced by ETA-Florence. This first factsheet by M2ARE - Maritime Methanol – Adaptable, Renewable and Environmentally friendly: Reducing marine fuel CO2 emissions by more than 80% - project explores how biogenic CO2 (from biomass, e.g., agricultural waste) combined with renewable hydrogen can produce low-carbon methanol. This effectively transforms an existing emission source into a renewable carbon feedstock.
