MIT-spinout agrees 7-year offtake agreement for up to 300,000 tons of biomethanol
In Massachusetts, Emvolon, Inc., an MIT-spinout commercializing technology that converts methane-rich waste gases into high-value liquid fuels, and Freepoint Commodities LLC announced the execution of two definitive commercial agreements. The transaction establishes Freepoint as both the anchor off-taker and a cornerstone project capital partner across Emvolon’s global deployment pipeline.
Under a seven-year Commodity Purchase Framework Agreement, Freepoint will serve as the primary buyer for biomethanol and associated liquid fuels produced across Emvolon’s deployment sites. Production volumes are structured to scale toward 300,000 metric tons annually as Emvolon’s portfolio expands, delivering commercial-scale fuel directly into Freepoint’s global physical distribution network.
In a concurrent financial agreement, Freepoint has secured direct co-investment participation rights to deploy equity and debt capital across Emvolon’s project portfolio and clean energy infrastructure assets. This balance-sheet backing bridges the gap between technology deployment and long-term project debt financing, providing waste asset operators, such as landfills, dairy farms, and industrial gas sites with a fully de-risked, turnkey fuel production solution.
