Equinor signs bio-methanol supply deal with Wallenius Wilhelmsen

Equinor has signed a two-year bio-methanol supply agreement with shipping and vehicle logistics company Wallenius Wilhelmsen to support the shift to lower-emission marine fuels.

The fuel will power Wallenius Wilhelmsen’s upcoming dual-fuel methanol vessels, which transport vehicles and heavy machinery from production sites to global markets.

Supporting Shipping Decarbonization

Bio-methanol significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions compared with conventional bunker fuel. The agreement also supports Wallenius Wilhelmsen’s goal of offering net-zero logistics services to customers.

Equinor’s bio-methanol is produced using methanol from its facility at Tjeldbergodden, combined with biogas certificates from captured biogas and biomass, in line with the EU Renewable Energy Directive.

Supply Starting in 2026

Deliveries will begin in late 2026 at the ports of Port of Zeebrugge and Port of Antwerp.

Equinor already supplies bio-methanol to A.P. Moller – Maersk and North Sea Container Line, as the fuel gains momentum as a scalable solution for shipping decarbonization.
