Stay Competitive with Greenlyte’s eMethanol production route.

Why eMethanol matters

Global shipping generates nearly 3% of CO₂ emissions, and trade volumes are set to surge by 2050. Deep-sea vessels can’t decarbonize with batteries or pure hydrogen at scale anytime soon, which makes drop-in low-carbon fuels such as e-methanol the practical path. 

Regulation worldwide is locking this in: the IMO has adopted a net-zero strategy with interim checkpoints and is developing global fuel and pricing measures; the EU is enforcing FuelEU Maritime from 2025 and pricing maritime CO₂ via the ETS; and leading flag/port states - including the U.S., U.K., Singapore, China, and Japan - are rolling out methanol safety/bunkering standards and tightening national rules. eMethanol matters because it aligns with this global policy direction while working with today’s engines and bunkering infrastructure.

The problem operators face

Most low-carbon methanol available today is biogenic. Feedstocks are scarce, fragmented, and increasingly contested by other sectors, keeping prices high and volumes uncertain. Alternatives like LNG or ammonia require costly new infrastructure, face operational/safety complexity, or uncertain acceptance timelines. 

Meanwhile, the compliance net is tightening globally: the IMO is applying design and operational efficiency rules (EEXI/CII), the EU and U.K. are pricing maritime emissions, U.S. authorities are formalizing alternative-fuel bunkering, and Asian hubs such as Singapore, China, and Japan are setting standards that will shape fleet and port investments. Choose the wrong fuel path now, and you risk stranded assets, rising penalty exposure, and losing cargo contracts as freight buyers demand cleaner supply chains.

Why eMethanol is the opportunity

eMethanol offers the best balance between practicality and scalability:

• Works with the current world: Compatible with methanol-ready engines, retrofit pathways, and emerging bunkering at major hubs (e.g., Singapore, Rotterdam, Shanghai)
• Scales from unlimited inputs: CO₂ from air, H₂ from water, and renewable electricity - no biomass ceiling.
• Regulatory fit: Aligns with the IMO’s zero/near-zero fuel push and meets leading sustainability standards (e.g., EU RFNBO), supporting access to regulated markets and green-corridor initiatives.
  
  

Unlike bio-based options, eMethanol is not capped by feedstock availability. It is the only pathway with clear technical readiness, growing port support, and the ability to scale with demand.

Where Greenlyte comes in

Greenlyte makes eMethanol the most competitive route for operators under tightening global rules. By producing carbon and hydrogen in one renewable-powered process, we cut out costly feedstocks and fragmented supply chains that make bio-methanol volatile and hard to scale. 

The result fuel operators can rely on:

• Compliance at lower cost: RFNBO-grade eMethanol that helps meet FuelEU Maritime and emerging global measures without penalty shocks.
• Fleet security: Methanol-ready newbuilds and retrofits stay future-proof as the IMO framework advances and national regimes mature.
• Predictable OPEX: A stable, scalable supply insulated from biomass price swings and land-use constraints.
  

Without affordable eMethanol, penalties and high fuel costs compress margins and push operators out of competitive trade lanes. With Greenlyte, you secure compliant fuel and cost control - keeping fleets and routes profitable over the long run.

The bottom line

Shipping needs affordable fuels that keep operators compliant and competitive as global rules tighten. Each year of delay compounds exposure to carbon pricing, intensity limits, and customer requirements. 

Greenlyte delivers eMethanol from unlimited resources at prices designed to reach and beat fossil parity - locking in the fuel that will keep fleets, customers, and trade routes competitive for decades.

Why eMethanol matters

Global shipping already accounts for nearly 3% of global CO₂ emissions, and trade volumes are set to triple by 2050. Unlike other sectors, heavy vessels can’t decarbonize with batteries or hydrogen at scale. This makes sustainable drop-in fuels the only viable option to keep ships moving while meeting set targets. Regulators are responding: the EU’s FuelEU Maritime will enforce a rising share of sustainable fuels from 2025, while the IMO aims for net-zero emissions by 2050.

The problem operators face

Today, most low-carbon methanol comes from biogenic sources. But feedstocks like biomass and waste oils are scarce, fragmented, and costly - pushing prices to levels that make large-scale adoption unrealistic. The pressure in bio-mass is further enhanced through increasing demand from competitive technologies like bio-SAF . At the same time, alternatives like LNG or ammonia carry high infrastructure costs, safety concerns, or uncertain regulatory acceptance. For operators, the risk is clear: choosing the wrong fuel path now can mean stranded fleet investments, higher long-term compliance costs, and lost cargo contracts as freight buyers demand cleaner supply chains.

Why eMethanol is the opportunity

eMethanol offers the best balance between practicality and scalability:

• Works in existing engines and bunkering infrastructure
• Can be produced from unlimited resources - air, water, and renewable electricity
• Fully compliant with EU RFNBO standards, unlocking global market access

Unlike bio-based options, eMethanol is not capped by feedstock availability. It is the only scalable pathway that can meet the massive demand growth expected in shipping.

Where Greenlyte comes in

Greenlyte makes eMethanol the most competitive pathway for ship operators. By producing CO₂ and H₂ in one renewable-powered process, we cut out costly feedstocks and fragmented supply chains that make bio-methanol volatile and unsustainable at scale. The result is a fuel option operators can rely on:

• Compliance at lower cost → affordable, RFNBO-compliant eMethanol for meeting FuelEU Maritime and IMO mandates
• Fleet security → methanol-ready ships stay future-proof instead of turning into stranded assets
• Cost competitiveness → a stable, scalable supply that shields operators from soaring penalties and keeps operating costs predictable

Without affordable eMethanol, penalties and high fuel costs will squeeze margins and push operators out of competitive trade lanes. With Greenlyte, compliance is secured and costs are controlled - ensuring fleets and routes remain profitable in the long run.

The bottom line

Shipping companies need affordable fuels that keep them compliant and competitive in the long run. Every year of delay means higher penalties, rising costs, and falling behind the global market. Greenlyte delivers eMethanol from unlimited resources at prices designed to reach and beat fossil parity. Acting now means securing the fuel that will keep fleets, customers, and trade routes competitive for decades to come.
