Mitsui & Co., European Energy expand e-methanol supply from Denmark
In Japan, Mitsui & Co. and European Energy are working to expand the customer base and applications for the world’s first e-methanol. The e-methanol is produced at a plant that was established by Solar Park Kasso ApS, a subsidiary of a joint venture between Mitsui and EE, and is located in Kassø, Aabenraa Municipality, in southern Denmark.
The initial shipment of e-methanol produced under this project was supplied to Danish shipping giant A.P. Moller – Maersk in May 2025 for use as marine fuel. In the spring of 2026, the project also began to supply e-methanol for use in chemical products to the LEGO group, a toy manufacturer, and Novo Nordisk, a global healthcare company.
Mitsui & Co. noted that the customer base continues to expand, which includes decisions to supply e-methanol as a Renewable Fuel of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBO) to leading European energy firm OMV for use as a land-based transportation fuel.
