Liquid Wind and Uniper signed a strategic partnership agreement to further accelerate the development of eFuel facilities to produce fossil-free eMethanol. The partnership will leverage the companies’ strength and competencies to drive commercial-scale development of eFuel facilities, while reducing costs and risks and developing the supply chain.

Under the collaboration, Liquid Wind and Uniper will conduct and evaluate opportunities for collaboration in facility development, power supply, and offtake of eMethanol, complementing Liquid Wind’s ongoing development business.

As a leading European energy business, Uniper sees large-scale production of eFuel facilities as essential for the ongoing transformation towards a low-carbon society. As part of the collaboration, Liquid Wind may be engaged to supply the development services of Uniper’s future eFuel facilities.

In turn, Uniper may be engaged in delivering fossil-free electricity to future facilities being developed by Liquid Wind and also procure eMethanol for commercial distribution. The partnership supports Liquid Wind’s market strategy to develop and deploy eFuel facilities and expand globally.

eMethanol, a key focus of this strategic partnership, is recognized as a component for decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors. These sectors, such as global shipping, are responsible for a significant portion of global greenhouse gas emissions. eMethanol, a versatile, low-carbon, liquid fuel that is easy to store, transport and use, is produced through a synthesis of green hydrogen and biogenic carbon dioxide.
