Maersk teams with Debo to develop commercial scale bio-methanol production in China

In Denmark, following the announcement of six strategic green methanol partnerships across the globe earlier this year, A.P. Moller – Maersk (Maersk) adds a seventh methanol partnership with Chinese bioenergy enterprise Debo on the quest to boost global production capacity.

The parties have signed a Letter of Intent covering Debo’s plans to develop a bio-methanol project for Maersk in China with capacity of 200,000 metric tons per year to start commercial operation by fall 2024.

The feedstock for the green bio-methanol will be agricultural residues. Maersk intends to offtake the full volume produced.
