Manufacturing the Future of Sustainable Marine Fuels

What is

Bio-Methanol?

Methanol is everywhere. It's the invisible ingredient in hundreds of everyday products—from the paint on your walls to the plastic in your phone, from cosmetics to construction materials. It also powers a growing fleet of ships and vehicles worldwide, making it one of the most versatile commodities in the global economy. Until now, virtually all methanol has come from fossil sources. We produce bio-methanol, a renewable alternative derived from Renewable Natural Gas captured from landfills and wastewater treatment plants.

Our product performs identically to conventional methanol, seamlessly integrating into existing supply chains and manufacturing processes without requiring any changes to equipment or formulations. By converting waste streams into high-value bio-commodities, we're building the production infrastructure industries need to decarbonize. The result is a circular solution that addresses waste management and industrial carbon emissions simultaneously—delivering the materials that drive modern life, produced in a way that protects it.

Carbon Intensity Minimized at Every Step of the Way

Biogas Feedstock

Renewable Methane produced from waste streams of biogenic origin including food waste and agricultural residues are converted into biogas and delivered to our production site for use as input feedstock.

Renewable Power

Renewable power generated from hydro, solar and wind is sourced and used to power Seaway's Bio-Methanol manufacturing process to further manage the carbon intensity of our finished product.

Carbon Capture & Utilization

Proprietary Carbon Capture technology designed into the plant's processes minimizes the total CO2 emissions from production while simultaneously increasing the efficiency of renewable feedstock use.

Our Production: 210,000 MTPA

Our Bio-Methanol gives >80% reduction in Well to Wake Carbon Intensity when compared with Non-Renewable alternatives.

ISCC EU Validated Carbon Intensity

The ISCC EU certification scheme verifies compliance with the European Union’s legal requirements for sustainability and greenhouse gas emissions savings criteria for renewable fuels, as well as the production of electricity, heating and cooling from biomass. These requirements are set out in the Renewable Energy Directive (RED III) and apply to all EU Member States. ISCC EU also covers additional ecological and social requirements that go beyond the legal requirements of RED III.

Seaway methanol has had its CI calculation independently verified by a qualified 3rd party.

Marine Transport is Responsible for Roughly 3% of Global CO2 Emissions

Decarbonizing the shipping industry is uniquely challenging. Ships require energy-dense, reliable fuels to power long voyages across the globe, leaving few viable low-carbon alternatives. Today, heavy fuel oil still makes up nearly 90% of marine fuel use, locking the sector into a fossil-heavy trajectory. Transitioning to greener options demands massive infrastructure investments—ports, bunkering systems, and vessels all need costly retrofits or replacements—slowing adoption at scale. Meanwhile, regulatory pressure is mounting: the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has set targets to cut shipping emissions by 40% by 2030 and 70% by 2050, alongside proposals for a global carbon price of $100 per tonne of CO2 starting in 2028.
