Green energy company ETFuels has chosen John Cockerill and Johnson Matthey as strategic partners for their e-methanol project in Texas, USA. The project plans to produce 120,000 tons of e-methanol annually using 500 MW renewable energy sources and biogenic CO2. John Cockerill will contribute 210 MW of pressurized alkaline electrolyzer units and technical services, while Johnson Matthey will provide eMERALD e-methanol technology and catalyst. The project aims to benefit from green hydrogen and offer a 91% reduction in CO2e compared to conventional fuel. It is expected to start construction by 2027, creating numerous job opportunities and requiring a significant investment. ETFuels sees the project as a solution for industrial decarbonization and a way to meet stringent fuel regulations, especially in the shipping industry. The collaboration between these companies highlights the potential for scalable, low-cost, and low-emission fuels to address environmental challenges in heavy industries like shipping.
