Glocal Green and Heidelberg Materials ink green methanol supply and bunkering deal

Glocal Green recently announced it has entered into a supply agreement for green methanol with Heidelberg Materials Sement Norge. 

At the same time, both have decided to establish a facility for storage, distribution and bunkering of green methanol at Breviksterminalen, Grenland Havn.

Lars Erik Marcussen, Project Manager Logistics, Heidelberg Materials Norge, said:  “As a major cargo owner, we want to help facilitate investments in sustainable maritime transport. This is now happening through the purchase agreement and the establishment of a bunkering station in Brevik. 

“The establishment of infrastructure is an important step in making the use of green methanol easier. Not only for us, but also for other shipowners and stakeholders who want to invest in green methanol.”

The decision also builds on the work carried out during last year’s pilot project under the Green Shipping Programme, where Glocal Green, together with partners, has assessed solutions for green methanol infrastructure and bunkering in Norway.

The facility at Breviksterminalen, Grenland Havn, will be located close to Heidelberg Materials’ cement plant and will support reception, storage, distribution and bunkering of green methanol.

Through an ISCC EU-certified value chain, the solution could enable up to 95 percent reduction in CO₂ emissions for a vessel operator. For Heidelberg Materials as cargo owner, the logistics-related emissions reductions may also affect the GHG value of the end product.

The Brevik establishment is also part of a broader strategy. The goal is to develop similar infrastructure in additional locations along the coast, in line with market growth and increasing demand for access to green methanol.
