Equinor has entered into a two-year bio-methanol supply agreement with Wallenius Wilhelmsen, a major global player in shipping and vehicle logistics, supporting a growing marine segment for low-carbon fuels.
Soon bio-methanol from Equinor will fuel ships that are bringing cars and machinery from points of production to markets. Wallenius Wilhelmsen is a roll‑on/roll‑off (RoRo) shipping and vehicle logistics giant, and will use the bio‑methanol as bunker fuel for its upcoming dual‑fuel methanol vessels.
Wallenius Wilhelmsen will receive the bio-methanol bunkers at the Ports of Zeebrugge and Antwerp, positioning the partnership within key European maritime hubs. Supplies will commence in late 2026.
“We continue to see increasing interest in bio-methanol as a practical, scalable solution for decarbonization of shipping. This partnership with Wallenius Wilhelmsen marks a substantial step forward in bringing Equinor’s bio-based methanol to the growing marine segment for low carbon fuels.
“Equinor has previously signed supply agreements for bio-methanol with Maersk and NCL, and we are progressing several leads for both bio and conventional methanol supply agreements,” said Alex Grant, senior vice president of Crude, Products and Liquids (CPL) in Equinor.
The use of bio-methanol will enable substantial reductions in greenhouse gas emissions from ships that use the fuel
