NTPC Green Energy Ltd, a subsidiary of India’s largest power generation utility, is in discussions with global shipping major A.P. Møller – Mærsk A/S to provide green methanol for its vessels. This initiative is in response to the tightening marine fuel standards worldwide, particularly the European Union's Fuel Maritime Regulation. Green methanol, generated by combining green hydrogen with captured CO2, is seen as a sustainable solution to reduce greenhouse gas intensity. The proposal aligns with Maersk's fleet plans for vessels running on bio- or e-methanol. NTPC plans to produce green methanol, ammonia, urea, and hydrogen at the planned hub in Andhra Pradesh, aiming to export 2 million metric tonnes of green methanol annually. The company is also working on projects to convert CO2 into valuable products like methanol and ethanol to reduce its carbon footprint. The Energy Resources Institute highlighted the global trend of using green hydrogen, methanol, and ammonia in the shipping industry. Green methanol, with its significant emission reductions, emerges as a viable option for long-distance shipping. Overall, the collaboration signifies a positive step towards decarbonization and sustainable energy in the maritime sector.
