π Two-Phase Capacity
π’ Phase I: 50 tonnes/day β βΉ1,200 crore
π’ Phase II: 100 tonnes/day β βΉ1,100 crore
π’ The e-methanol will support vessels operating on the AsiaβEurope International Trade Corridor.
π’ The project will also develop a green-fuel ecosystem covering transportation, storage and supply around Kandla.
π What is E-Methanol?
π’ E-methanol is a low-carbon form of methanol produced using renewable energy + captured/recycled COβ.
π’ It can be used as a low-carbon fuel in shipping, besides applications in heavy industry and chemical manufacturing.
π Production Process
π’ 1. Green Hydrogen: Renewable electricity β electrolysis of HβO β Hβ + Oβ.
π’ 2. COβ Capture: COβ captured from industrial sources or directly from air.
π’ 3. Methanol Synthesis: Green hydrogen + captured COβ β catalytic reaction β e-methanol.
π Economic Significance
π’ Expected production cost: around US$750/tonne.
π’ Global rate cited: around US$1,300/tonne.
π’ Port-based production can integrate fuel production + storage + transportation + maritime supply, supporting cleaner shipping.
π MUST REMEMBER
