Singapore-based global maritime container shipping company X-Press Feeders plans to buy up to 15,000 metric tonnes (mt) of bio-methanol per year from clean energy firm PuriFire Energy.
PuriFire Energy on Thursday (7 May) said it has signed a Letter of Intent with Xpress Feeders to supply up to 15,000 metric tonnes (mt) of bio-methanol per year.
“This is a major step forward in scaling bio-methanol for the global shipping industry,” it said in a social media post.
“As the world’s largest independent feeder carrier, X-Press Feeders shows that bio-methanol is not a future gimmick, but a present-day solution.”
“Together, we will explore the supply of 10,000–15,000 mt per year of bio-methanol from PuriFire’s planned facilities, alongside the co-development of port-based production sites across the UK and Europe.”
By combining X-Press Feeders’ fleet-scale demand with PuriFire’s decentralised production model, the collaboration aims to create a vertically integrated fuel supply chain that can be replicated across key port locations.
“We are excited about this partnership and what it means for the future of maritime fuel,” PuriFire Energy added.
