In the Netherlands, Offshore Energy reported that Australian chemicals company HAMR Energy has advanced its green methanol project in Portland with the completion of the pre-front-end engineering design (pre-FEED) phase.
The pre-FEED work for the Portland Renewable Fuels Project was completed by German technology and engineering company thyssenkrupp Uhde, according to the report.
The project, located in Victoria, Australia, will use biomass residues and renewable electricity to produce green methanol that can be used as a low-carbon liquid fuel to power shipping and aviation.
Under the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed in 2024, thyssenkrupp Uhde will provide the biomass-to-methanol technology for the project, the report added.
