Offtake agreement for green methanol signed with Goldwind for annual delivery of 250,000 tonnes.
Hapag-Lloyd has reached an agreement with Goldwind, a global partner in clean energy with headquarters in Beijing, China, for the delivery of 250,000 tonnes of green methanol per year. The green methanol will consist of a blend of bio- and e-methanol, ensuring greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction of at least 70 percent, and comply with all current sustainability certification requirements, according to an official release from Hapag. “As part of our Strategy 2030, we are fully committed to the 1.5-degree target of the Paris Agreement and therefore also to
sustainable investments” says Rolf Habben Jansen, CEO, Hapag-Lloyd. “With the agreement, we are securing a significant proportion of our requirements for green fuels. This will bring us an important step closer to our goal of achieving net-zero fleet operations by 2045. It is and remains our ambition to play a leading role in the transformation of the liner shipping industry.”
