UK clean energy company PuriFire Energy and feeder operator X-Press Feeders will explore the supply of 10,000 to 15,000 tonnes of bio-methanol annually from planned production facilities.<\/p>\n
\u201cX-Press Feeders is actively shaping the future of shipping, not just waiting for it,\u201d said Neel Shah, CEO of PuriFire Energy.<\/p>\n
\u201dWorking with the world\u2019s largest independent feeder carrier validates demand for our technology at the highest level and provides a clear roadmap for deploying bio-methanol production where it\u2019s needed most.\u201d <\/p>\n
Port infrastructure<\/strong><\/p>\n The agreement also includes plans to co-develop larger port infrastructure projects across the UK and Europe to support distributed marine fuels supply networks aligned with vessel operations.<\/p>\n It\u2019s an agreement which builds on collaboration through the UK Government-backed Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition and comes as shipping operators face tightening emissions rules under FuelEU Maritime.<\/p>\n The regulation requires greenhouse gas reductions for ships calling at EU ports, increasing demand for certified low-carbon marine fuels and reliable bunkering infrastructure.<\/p>\n This partnership aims to create vertically integrated fuel supply chains through decentralised production facilities located close to major port demand centres.<\/p>\n PuriFire\u2019s hydrothermal gasification technology converts wastewater and waste carbon into bio-methanol and biomethane, supporting cost-competitive fuel production near key maritime hubs.<\/p>\n The LOI reflects growing industry focus on port infrastructure capable of supporting alternative marine fuels as operators seek long-term energy security and compliance with evolving emissions legislation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" PuriFire Energy and X-Press Feeders have signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) to develop port-based bio-methanol production and strengthen green marine fuels supply chains.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":6332,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[40,2572,539,2295,1518],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-6331","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alternative-fuels-greenport","tag-alternative-fuels","tag-bio-methanol","tag-port-infrastructure","tag-purifire","tag-x-press-feeders"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6331","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6331"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6331\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6333,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6331\/revisions\/6333"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6332"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6331"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6331"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6331"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=6331"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
