Equinor’s biomethanol to fuel Wallenius Wilhelmsen ships
In Belgium, soon bio-methanol from Equinor will fuel ships that are bringing cars and machinery from points of production to markets. Wallenius Wilhelmsen is a market leader in roll‑on/roll‑off (RoRo) shipping and vehicle logistics and will use the bio‑methanol as bunker fuel for its upcoming dual‑fuel methanol vessels.
Wallenius Wilhelmsen will receive the bio-methanol bunkers at the Ports of Zeebrugge and Antwerp, positioning the partnership within key European maritime hubs. Supplies will commence in late 2026.
The use of bio-methanol will enable substantial reductions in greenhouse gas emissions from ships that use the fuel and help Wallenius Wilhelmsen provide net zero logistics solutions to their customers.
Equinor’s supply of bio-methanol is based on a combination of methanol produced at Equinor’s facility at Tjeldbergodden, Norway, and biogas certificates stemming from captured biogas from manure and other biomass in accordance with the EU Renewable Energy Directive.
