In Australia, thyssenkrupp Uhde has completed the Pre-FEED (Front-End Engineering Design) phase for the Portland Renewable Fuels Project in collaboration with HAMR Energy. 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.
In line with Australia’s plans to become a global hydrogen leader according to the country’s 2024 National Hydrogen Strategy, the project can contribute significantly to one of its key objectives: the decarbonization of long-haul transport. Green methanol can be used to fuel ships, or refined into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), a direct substitute for fossil-based jet fuel and is considered a key enabler for reducing lifecycle emissions in aviation.
