ETFuels Partners with John Cockerill and Johnson Matthey for E-Methanol Project in Texas
Key Ideas
- John Cockerill and Johnson Matthey are key partners in ETFuels' 120,000 ton per year e-methanol project, providing advanced electrolyser units and e-methanol technology respectively.
- The project in Texas aims to produce ultra-low carbon e-methanol for industrial decarbonization, sustainable aviation fuel, and chemical applications, with significant CO2 emissions reduction.
- The construction of the plant is expected to start by 2027, creating 500 construction jobs and over 50 permanent operating roles, with an investment exceeding a billion dollars.
- ETFuels' e-methanol plant is set to avoid approximately 200,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year, equivalent to planting a forest the size of 13,000 football fields.
ETFuels has partnered with John Cockerill and Johnson Matthey for its ambitious e-methanol project in Texas, aiming to produce 120,000 tons of e-methanol annually. John Cockerill will contribute 210MW of electrolyser units, while Johnson Matthey will provide e-methanol technology. The project, set to start construction by 2027, will benefit from local manufacturing support. By 2029, the plant will use renewable energy sources to produce e-methanol, aiding in industrial decarbonization and sustainable aviation fuel production. The e-methanol's low carbon intensity of 8.7 gCO2e/MJ will significantly reduce CO2 emissions, helping shipping companies cut compliance costs and provide green transportation services. The project is expected to create jobs, with a substantial investment planned. ETFuels envisions additional sites in Texas, Spain, and Finland for e-fuel production, leveraging the success of their Texas plant for broader impact on decarbonization efforts.
