Trade association Methanol Institute (MI) has welcomed U.S. technology company Emvolon as its newest member.

Founded in 2021, Emvolon is said to be dedicated to transforming greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions into carbon-negative fuels and chemicals, including green methanol and green ammonia.

Through its patented technology, the company, reportedly, turns “internal combustion engines into modular, cost-effective, chemical plants, providing sustainable solutions across industries, such as waste management, agriculture, energy, maritime and aviation.”

Greg Dolan, CEO of Methanol Institute, commented: “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, stated: “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.”

To note, in the past year, Methanol Institute welcomed several new members. Furthermore, together with ECSA, FuelsEurope, eFuel Alliance, EWAB and HydrogenEurope, it established a new Clean Maritime Fuels Platform, an industry initiative aiming to enhance communication between the shipping sector and fuel producers.

In addition, the association was granted consultative status by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), allowing it to contribute its expertise to the development of shipping regulations.
