First commercial-scale e-methanol facility inaugurated in Denmark


OSLO, May 13 (Xinhua) -- The world's first commercial-scale e-methanol production facility powered entirely by renewable energy officially began operations on Tuesday in Aabenraa, southern Denmark, marking a milestone in the transition to low-carbon fuels.

With an annual production capacity of 42,000 metric tons, the Kasso facility is the first of its kind to synthesize e-methanol using green hydrogen and biogenic carbon dioxide. The process results in a product with up to a 97 percent lower carbon footprint than traditional fossil-based methanol.
