Carbon Clean has achieved a fabrication milestone on the Flagshipone project which is claimed to be Europe’s largest e-methanol plant and Ørsted’s largest commercial-scale Power-to-X facility. The project is expected to supply up to 55,000 tonnes of e-methanol per year to the shipping industry.

London/UK – Carbon Clean has achieved a fabrication milestone on Ørsted’s Flagshipone project, Europe’s largest commercial-scale e-methanol facility under construction. The first equipment has been mounted on the structural steel of the first module, marking the start of the module assembly process. Once operational, Carbon Clean’s technology will be capable of capturing 70,000 tonnes of biogenic CO2 per year for Ørsted’s facility in Örnsköldsvik, Sweden.

Carbon Clean’s Capturex semi-modular technology for this project is being fabricated at Schwartz Hautmont’s site at the Port of Tarragona in Vila-seca, Spain. This demonstrates the economic benefits that carbon capture brings to the local supply chain, both in Vila-seca and beyond.

Flagshipone will be Ørsted’s largest commercial-scale Power-to-X facility and Europe’s largest e-methanol plant, and is expected to be operational in 2025. It will supply up to 55,000 tonnes of e-methanol per year to the shipping industry, which today accounts for around 3 % of global carbon emissions.

Aniruddha Sharma, Chair and CEO of Carbon Clean, said: “This fabrication milestone underscores how Carbon Clean is on track with delivery for this pioneering e-fuel project. The complexity and scale of the challenge is huge, and the Carbon Clean team continues to deliver in a timely manner against targets, with an unwavering commitment to technical excellence. Carbon capture technology is essential in decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors, such as shipping, but it also brings economic benefits through the development of local supply chains.”

Flagshipone was developed by Liquid Wind, which has plans for several additional plants in the Nordics. In February 2024, Liquid Wind together with international decarbonization leaders Alfa Laval, Carbon Clean, Siemens Energy and Topsoe opened an e-fuel Design & Performance Centre (DPC) in Hørsholm, Denmark. By leveraging partners’ innovative technologies and modular solutions, the DPC will deliver ready-to-build e-methanol plants that are quicker to fabricate, transport, construct and commission.
