- The plant in Kasso, Denmark, will start operations by the end of 2023.
- It will produce 32,000 tons of e-methanol annually from CO2.
- A large portion of the yield is allocated to Maersk for its carbon-neutral fleet.
- Remaining green methanol will be supplied to Lego Group and Novo Nordisk.
Project Overview
Clariant Catalysts' MegaMax® catalyst has been selected for the world's largest e-methanol project, located in Kasso, Denmark. The facility is set to begin operations by the end of 2023 and will produce 32,000 tons of e-methanol annually from carbon dioxide.
Key Partnerships
A significant portion of the plant’s annual yield is already allocated to Maersk to power its first-ever carbon-neutral fleet. The remaining green methanol will be supplied to the Lego Group and Novo Nordisk.
Technological Advancements
MegaMax® was chosen for its proven high activity and stability under the challenging conditions of CO2-to-methanol conversion. The catalyst offers outstanding activity even at very low reactor temperatures and pressures, and is well-suited to pure CO2 conditions, delivering high conversion rates when combined with green hydrogen feed.
European Energy's Role
European Energy, founded in 2004, focuses on driving the green transition and developing sustainable, fossil-free energy solutions. The company has significant investments in solar and wind energy projects, as well as power-to-x and carbon capture technologies, building 1000 MW of renewable energy annually.
