WasteFuel will initially offer bio-methanol for container ships.

“Methanol has exceptional appeal as a renewable fuel - it can use existing logistics infrastructure, works with proven engine designs and has a lower production cost relative to other renewable fuels,” says Mario De La Ossa, president at WasteFuel.

The company turns municipal and agricultural waste into low-carbon fuels, renewable natural gas, and green methanol.

WasteFuel, which is developing bio-refineries across Asia and the Americas, including a plant in the Philippines, received investment from shipping giant Maersk in September last year.

Maersk plans to launch 13 methanol-powered, dual-fuel container ships by 2025.
