Emvolon Joins Methanol Institute
The Methanol Institute (MI) has announced that U.S. technology company Emvolon is its newest member. Founded in 2021, Emvolon focuses on converting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions into carbon-negative fuels and chemicals, including green methanol and green ammonia.
Emvolon’s patented technology transforms internal combustion engines into modular, cost-effective chemical plants. This provides industries such as waste management, agriculture, energy, maritime, and aviation with sustainable solutions.
Greg Dolan, CEO of Methanol Institute, welcomed Emvolon, stating, “We are delighted to welcome Emvolon Inc. as a member of the Methanol Institute. Their innovative approach to converting emissions into green methanol and other sustainable fuels represents a powerful step forward in the decarbonization of critical sectors like aviation and maritime. Emvolon’s cutting-edge technology will play a key role in accelerating the transition to a more sustainable future, and we look forward to supporting them in their efforts.”
Emmanuel Kasseris, Co-Founder and CEO of Emvolon, commented on the partnership, saying, “Joining the Methanol Institute is an exciting milestone for Emvolon. We’re passionate about leveraging decentralized waste resources to make green methanol and advancing its role in decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors. Collaborating with MI’s community of innovators strengthens our mission to drive a scalable and sustainable energy future.”
The Methanol Institute has expanded its membership in the past year. It also recently established the Clean Maritime Fuels Platform with several other organizations, including ECSA, FuelsEurope, eFuel Alliance, EWAB, and HydrogenEurope. This platform aims to improve communication between the shipping sector and fuel producers.
In addition, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has granted the association consultative status, enabling it to provide expert advice on shipping regulations.
