This is an extremely important goal for us, but something we cannot achieve on our own,\u201d&nbsp;said&nbsp;Elvir Dzanic, CEO of the Port of Gothenburg.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTherefore, we are delighted to have a supplier like Liquid Wind and committed ship owners like Stena Line and DFDS taking these ambitious steps that will make a huge difference towards achieving that goal,\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>E-fuel centre<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong>FlagshipONE, which is in late-stage development and approaching a final investment decision, will be the largest e-fuels facility in the world when it is completed, producing 50,000 tonnes of eMethanol annually.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Onshore wind will power the electrolysis producing hydrogen. The biogenic CO2 will be also captured from the combined heat and power plant H\u00f6rneborgsverket.<\/p>\n<p>Liquid Wind plans to establish facilities across Sweden to decarbonise the maritime sector, of which FlagshipONE will be the first.<\/p>\n<p>Green methanol, or eMethanol, is made from 100% biogenic sources combined with 100% renewable wind energy so it doesn\u2019t add CO2 to the atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Maersk Mc-Kinney M\u00f8ller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping, eMethanol offers a number of advantages as marine fuel.
