Methanol energy

Traditionally ‘grey’ methanol is produced with fossil fuels, however, when produced in a sustainable way (with biomass), methanol is CO2 neutral from well to propeller.

Methanol is suitable for use in a wide range of vessels, including short sea passenger ships and cargo vessels. C-Job has conducted multiple feasibility studies for ferries to use methanol; produced concept designs for dredgers; and provided concept, basic and detail design to convert a patrol vessel to methanol.

Like ammonia as a marine fuel, methanol reduces tank-to-propeller GHG emissions by more than 80%, and in cargo ships it will require expanded fuel space, for which C-Job can provide the design and engineering. While methanol requires less space and is lighter than ammonia, the latter is cheaper to produce – so C-Job supports ship owners during the decision-making process to choose the right future fuel for a ship’s operational profile.

Methanol consortium partnerships

We partner with

Green Maritime Methanol Consortium

which investigates the feasibility of methanol as a sustainable alternative maritime fuel. C-Job’s provides design input as well as risk assessments.

MENENS Project

We have been a member of this international industry association for many years. It promotes the adoption and use of ammonia in a sustainable energy economy, and C-Job supports the association’s plans to realize a safe and efficient ammonia-fueled vessel.
