In Denmark, European Energy will begin integrating the next generation of bio-methanol into its portfolio of green fuels. The bio-methanol will be produced through an innovative technology known as electrified steam methane reforming (e-SMR), where renewable electricity is used to process biogas or biomethane into synthesis gas, which is then converted into green methanol using European Energy’s proprietary methanol technology.
The e-SMR technology is not a replacement but a complementary addition to European Energy’s green fuel offering. By advancing green hydrogen, e-methanol, and bio-methanol in parallel, European Energy ensures greater flexibility across markets. Together, the three products form a diversified technology platform that accelerates the transition from fossil fuels to scalable, carbon-neutral fuels.
The technology has been developed by SYPOX, a spin-off from the Technical University of Munich, with which European Energy is now cooperating. Following over 80,000 test hours and successful demonstrations under real-life conditions at biogas plants in Germany, the first 10 MW commercial e-SMR unit is scheduled for delivery in 2026.
