Energy solutions firm Carbon Direct<\/strong> and C2X <\/strong>have partnered to advance a Louisiana <\/strong>bio-methanol and carbon removal project aimed at catering to demand from sectors including shipping.<\/p>\n

The Beaver Lake Biofuels<\/strong> project will repurpose the former International Paper Pineville<\/strong> mill site, closed since 2009<\/strong>, using surplus forestry and sawmill residues, Carbon Direct said in a press release on Wednesday<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

It is expected to produce about 550,000 mt\/year of bio-methanol<\/strong> and permanently store roughly 1 million tonnes of CO2<\/strong> annually through geological sequestration.<\/p>\n

Bio-methanol is viewed as an alternative marine fuel option as emissions rules tighten and more methanol-capable vessels enter service.<\/p>\n

“With FuelEU Maritime mandating progressively tightening GHG intensity limits\u2014from 2% reduction by 2025 to 80% by 2050\u2014and other global mandates quickly emerging, demand for low-carbon biomethanol as a marine fuel continues to grow,” Carbon Direct said. <\/p>\n

Beaver Lake is nearing completion of front-end engineering design, with final investment decision targeted in 2026 <\/strong>and start-up expected in 2029<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
