E-methanol for Maersk’s first vessel

European Energy signed an agreement with shipping company Maersk in August 2021. The agreement stipulates that European Energy will deliver 10.000 tonnes of carbon neutral e-methanol that Maersk’s first vessel with the ability to operate on green e-methanol will consume annually.

This type of partnership could become a blueprint for how to scale green fuel production through collaboration with partners across the industry ecosystem.

European Energy will place the production facility in the Southern part of Jutland close to Kassø Solar Park, which – when connected to the grid in 2022 – will be the largest solar park in Northern Europe with a capacity of 300 MW. European Energy is proud to be a part of the first large scale e-methanol production in Denmark.

While renewable energy is becoming more and more common in the energy mix of electricity consumption, this is one of the first steps in heavy transportation towards using 100% renewable energy. This agreement marks a milestone in the journey towards green transition in the shipping industry.
