Lower-carbon marine fuel you can count on.
Maritime emissions rules are tightening, and methanol-capable ships are entering the water. Cleaner fuel exists. The harder problem is securing a cost-effective supply that will be there, at scale, where and when you need to bunker.
Your challenge
Shipping is under pressure to decarbonize, from international emissions targets to regional rules like FuelEU Maritime. Customers are also setting their own targets down the supply chain, and operators are ordering methanol-capable vessels ahead of the fuel supply to match them. The technology on the ship is proven. The open question is supply, its reliability, stability, cost, and availability.
Your opportunity
Clean methanol is among the most practical paths to lower-carbon shipping. It burns cleaner, works in the methanol and dual-fuel engines already in the global fleet, and requires no exotic handling beyond what the industry is already building. Methanol can be produced from green hydrogen and captured biogenic CO2, or directly from sustainably sourced biomass. Both pathways deliver the lower-carbon intensity maritime rules require, and both fit the bunkering infrastructure the sector is already building.
ECF delivers
We are developing clean methanol projects designed for export to the global shipping market. For a marine buyer, what matters most is the counterparty behind the fuel.
Supply you can plan around.
We build for reliable, long-term offtake. Because we own and operate our assets, the supply you contract for is the supply we are accountable to deliver, year after year.
A stable place to source from.
We develop in rule-of-law jurisdictions in North America that have clear access to the open ocean that leverage existing port infrastructure and waterways enabling straightforward delivery to international markets. For a fuel that will move through long-term contracts and international routes, the political stability of where it comes from is part of the value. And because reliable supply requires more than a producer, we bring in the expert partners across midstream, logistics, and port infrastructure to deliver a complete solution, not just the molecule.
A credible, capitalized partner.
We bring our own development capital and a team that has experience financing, building, and operating energy infrastructures. You don’t bet your decarbonization plan on an unproven developer.
