Some of the biggest names across the Danish transport spectrum including Maersk are joining forces to produce sustainable fuels for road, maritime and air transport in the Copenhagen area. The news is also notable for Maersk’s determination to pursue renewable methanol as one of its main fuels of the future.
Maersk is joined in the new endeavour by Copenhagen Airports, DSV Panalpina, Ro-Ro operator DFDS, airline SAS and utility firm orsted, in this first of its kind partnership to develop an industrial scale production facility to produce sustainable fuels.
The new hydrogen and e-fuel production facility is scheduled to be up and running as soon as 2023. When fully scaled-up by 2030, the project could deliver more than 250,000 tonnes of sustainable fuel for busses, trucks, marine vessels and airplanes every year.
