The\u00a0UK\u2019s\u00a0first\u00a0commercially\u00a0ready\u00a0bio-methanol\u00a0storage and supply\u00a0service\u00a0for shipping has been launched\u00a0at\u00a0the Port of Immingham, the largest port by cargo volume in the UK, as part of efforts to advance decarbonization in maritime transport.<\/p>\n

The three-partite partnership of Exolum,\u00a0Methanex Corporation and \u00d8rsted is behind the initiative to provide\u00a0marine bunkering\u00a0services for bio-methanol.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis initiative marks a significant milestone for the Port of Immingham and the wider maritime sector,\u201d said Steven Clapperton, Head of Marine (Humber), Associated British Ports, owner of Port of Immingham.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy enabling\u00a0biomethanol\u00a0bunkering, we are taking practical steps toward decarbonising one of the hardest-to-abate industries. Associated British Ports is proud to support partners like Exolum, \u00d8rsted, and Methanex in driving innovation that aligns with the\u00a0U.K.\u2019s clean energy ambitions and positions our ports at the forefront of sustainable shipping.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Exolum will provide the storage and fuelling infrastructure at its Immingham facility,\u00a0Methanex will supply the bio-methanol for the project and \u00d8rsted will be the first to utilize this service for its North Sea offshore wind farm maintenance vessels.<\/p>\n

The ISCC-certified bio-methanol supplied to \u00d8rsted is produced at Methanex\u2019s U.S. facilities\u00a0on the Gulf Coast\u00a0using feedstocks derived from waste and residues, such as organic municipal solid waste. Compared to conventional marine fuels, it delivers up to an 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, Methanex said.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u00d8rsted is pleased to be the first to fuel its service-operation vessels with bio-methanol as part of this partnership,\u201d said Mika\u00a0B\u00e4rlund, Lead Category Manager at \u00d8rsted.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis project aligns with our commitment not only to create opportunities for local suppliers but also to help develop leading-edge technologies, in particular technologies which help us in our goal to deliver more sustainable operations and\u00a0assist\u00a0with the broader decarbonisation of the maritime sector. Finally, it is a step towards our vision of creating a world that runs entirely on green energy.\u201d<\/p>\n
