Description
Ørsted’s development of a 675 MW Power-to-X facility on the US Gulf Coast. The facility is expected to produce approximately 300,000 tonnes of e-methanol per year.
The methanol will fuel A.P. Moller-Maersk’s fleet of 12 methanol-powered vessels.
The facility will be powered by approx. 1.2GW of renewable energy from onshore wind and solar PV farms.
The biogenic carbon needed to produce e-methanol will be extracted through carbon capture at one or more large point sources.
