Methanol meets the maritime need for cleaner fuels

Methanol has lower carbon emissions when used as a fuel than conventional marine fuels – up to 90% less. But what it makes just as valuable are two facts: It can be produced using only renewable resources, such as wind, sun, and biomass and secondly: It can be handled and transported under normal temperatures and pressure.

Given this – and the decarbonization goals of the International Maritime Organizations (IMO) – the prospects of methanol being a green alternative fuel for the future are positive. In fact, the first container vessels fueled by carbon-neutral methanol are already underway.

Simultaneously, relying on an existing global infrastructure and technology, methanol fuel could map out a cost-effective path towards zero or net-zero carbon solutions.

A proven fuel pump solution for methanol

At Svanehoj, we have extensive experience with handling green ammonia. The key is the patented and extremely well-proven DW Fuel Pump, which enables vessels to comply with both current and future requirements, ensuring you a safeguarded investment in the long and complex transition from fossil fuels to clean fuels based on renewable energy sources.

The benefits of a methanol-fueled solution

Safe and cost-effective design

By placing alle sensetive components outside the tank, you are guaranteed much safer operations and less maintenance costs (25.000 hour/5-year service intervals)

Compatible with all liquified fuel types

The DW Fuel Pump is designed to support green ammonia but also other fuel gast types such as LNG, methanol, and ammonia.

Reduces CO2 with up to 90%

Together with the safe and effective technology of DW Fuel Pump, methanol reduces CO2-emissions by up to 90%.

Suppresses nox and sox

Using methanol fuel reduces up to 50% of the emission of both NOx and SoX-particles
