Compliance-grade methanol, manufactured – not engineered.
Standardised, factory-built e-methanol units. Electricity, water and air in – RFNBO-certified liquid fuel out. Installed in days, not years.
Demand
The market exists whether we build it or not.
Demand is a statutory obligation with a defined penalty. Supply is not arriving. That gap is the opportunity.
Under FuelEU Maritime and RED III a shipping company has two options. Pay a penalty charged per tonne of methanol-equivalent shortfall – no asset, no hedge, recurring every year. Or buy RFNBO-certified e-methanol under long-term offtake: fixed cost, drop-in, counted against the obligation.
The obligation is ring-fenced. RFNBO sub-targets cannot be met with bio-methanol, bio-LNG or biodiesel. This is a legally defined demand pool, not a general market for green fuel.
Penalty-equivalent rate per tonne – the ceiling on what a compliant buyer will rationally pay.

Why the supply is not arriving.
E-fuel projects are not failing on technology. They fail at Final Investment Decision, because they are built as bespoke chemical plants.
Failure mode 01
Every project reinvents the wheel
Full FEED engineering, every single time. Nothing carries over to the next site.
Failure mode 02
Bespoke designs need armies
Reference e-fuel projects have put thousands of construction workers on a single site. That headcount is the cost.
Failure mode 03
Risk buffers compound
30-50% EPC contingency loaded onto every project, never amortised across a production run.
This is a manufacturing problem being solved with construction economics.
Product
Five proven components, integrated as one product.
Off-grid by design. Each component carries its own operating track record – the novelty is first-time system integration.
Off-grid solar is the only energy input. At roughly 1,800 kWh/kWp of irradiation the array sets the operating profile for everything downstream – which is why the control layer, not the panels, is the hard part.
Battery Energy Storage System buffers the solar profile, enabling continuous operation of downstream components without grid connection.
Water is split into hydrogen and oxygen using solar electricity directly. Because the unit is off-grid by design, additionality is satisfied by construction and there is no grid-matching exposure under RFNBO criteria.
Carbon comes from ambient air rather than a biogenic source. SAF, e-LNG and food-grade buyers are already competing for biomass and biogenic carbon. Air is not a contested input.
Hydrogen and captured CO₂ are combined into methanol, with hydrogen storage and heat integration buffering the solar profile across the day. A drop-in liquid at ambient conditions, RFNBO-certified, handled with existing liquid fuel logistics. It counts against a buyer’s obligation instead of a penalty payment.
Smart
Designed as a product, not a site
Modular site design as a product. Pre-assembled units. AI-optimised asset control. Off-grid by design. The holistic energy management system is the IP layer.
Clean
Sunlight and air as inputs
Solar-powered hydrogen. Direct Air Capture instead of contested biogenic CO₂. Solar-powered synthesis. No grid connection required.
Scale
One unit to sixteen. The same unit, sixteen times.
Series manufacturing unlocks cost reduction. Pooled output unlocks institutional offtake. Scale here is cumulative volume, not one larger plant.
Phase 1 is a single first-of-a-kind unit. Phase 2 adds four. Phase 3 targets sixteen at 100 MW total. All phases are planned; none are built.
Advantage
Structural advantages, not claims.
Factory-built, not site-built
Application engineering once, then replicated. A bespoke chemical plant needs full FEED every single time.
Legally protected demand
We compete only inside the RFNBO-eligible set. Bio-methanol, bio-LNG and biodiesel are out by definition, regardless of price.
Uncontested inputs
Air and sunlight. SAF, e-LNG and food-grade buyers are already bidding for biomass and biogenic carbon – we compete for neither.
No grid exposure
Off-grid solar means additionality by construction, with no grid-matching exposure under RFNBO criteria.
Cost falls with volume
Modular products get cheaper with cumulative units. An observed pattern in utility PV and automotive powertrains, independent of project size. FOAK: €1,200/t, Series production: €800/t.
Fixed price against volatility
Fossil methanol moved between €535 and €915 per tonne within 2026 alone. Buyers want fixed-price offtake.
Roadmap
From feasibility to first methanol.
Permitting sits on the critical path. Comparable Spanish e-methanol projects have taken roughly two to three years from siting to environmental permit.
Feasibility
Corrected feasibility, offtaker conversations, site selection.
Permitting & supply
Capital raise, permitting, supplier contracts.
FOAK construction
First-of-a-kind unit built in Andalusia.
First methanol
Commissioning and first product.
All dates are planning targets, not commitments
Partners
Building maritime fuel infrastructure requires the right partners.
We are in conversation with distributors, blenders and industrial buyers for Phase 1 volume – and with shipping lines, bunker suppliers and chemical majors for pooled Phase 2 and Phase 3 offtake.
Grant applications submitted to EU Innovation Fund and European Hydrogen Bank.
