LanzaTech positions recycled-carbon ethanol as low-cost sustainable marine fuel
In the United States, LanzaTech says its gas fermentation technology produces ethanol from industrial waste emissions at a cost and scale it says no competing sustainable marine fuel pathway can match, with six commercial plants operating across China, India, and Europe and more than 60 million gallons produced to date.
The company cites ethanol’s advantages over methanol in energy density, safety, and carbon intensity as shipping’s methanol-engine orderbook grows. FuelEU Maritime mandates are projected to require one to two billion gallons of sustainable marine fuel by 2030 against global marine fuel consumption of 73 billion gallons per year.
