Overview

• The Kasso plant in Denmark is the first commercial-scale e-methanol facility globally, producing 42,000 metric tons annually.
• Shipping company Maersk will use the e-methanol to fuel its dual-fuel container fleet, including the Laura Maersk, which fueled near the plant on opening day.
• Lego and Novo Nordisk will incorporate the e-methanol into plastic brick production and insulin injection pens, respectively.
• The plant uses renewable energy and biogenic CO₂ to produce e-methanol, generating excess heat that will warm 3,300 local households.
• The €150 million project received €53 million in subsidies and marks a step toward scaling production, though global capacity remains limited, with China leading the sector.
