More ships powered by green methanol

The fuel, a combination of biomethanol and e-methanol, will be manufactured at a plant located in Hinggan League, 1000 km northeast of Beijing, using wind energy. Maersk, which has around 700 container ships, has plans to receive 20 cargo ships powered by this mixture in the coming years, at the same time that it will adapt the engines on other ships so that they can use it in their tanks.

In September, the shipping company launched the world’s first freighter powered by this fuel, scheduled for its maiden voyage in 2024 from Ulsan (South Korea) to Copenhagen, covering a distance of 21,500 km.

It should be noted that a year ago, the Danish group presented a project in Spain aimed at producing green methanol for its fleet, with an investment estimated by the Spanish Government at 10 billion euros until 2030.

Maersk aims for at least 25% of cargo transported in 2030 to use green fuel and seeks to achieve complete decarbonization of its fleet by 2040.
