We're a project development company focused on execution, partnerships, and scale. Here's what sets us apart:
We focus on getting projects financed, built, and operational—not just selling technology. Every decision is made with bankability and execution in mind.
48-month timeline from FID to operations using proven, TRL-9 technologies. No development delays, no unproven systems—just reliable project delivery.
Flexible structures for off-takers, investors, and strategic partners. We adapt to your needs—whether equity participation, fuel supply agreements, or hybrid models.
Multiple years of combined expertise in energy project development, execution, maritime operations, chemical engineering, and carbon markets. We've done this before.
Repeatable platform designed for rapid deployment across multiple sites. First project in Texas is just the beginning of a multi-project pipeline.
Multiple identified locations with excellent feedstock access, transportation infrastructure, and proximity to key markets. We're positioned where opportunity meets execution.
Real buyers are committing today — not in forecasts. Demand for sustainable methanol is contracted at the shipyard, driven by IMO mandates, and growing faster than supply can keep up.
Methanol-capable vessels on order
Maersk, COSCO, CMA CGM, HMM and others have committed fleets — demand is contracted at the shipyard, not in forecasts.

Methanol is now the leading near-term decarbonisation fuel for shipping under the IMO 2050 Strategy (Methanol Institute, 2026).
Sustainable methanol market, 2030 → 2050
From ~2.1 Mtpa today to ≥8 Mtpa by 2030 (industry pipeline); IRENA outlook to 250+ Mtpa by 2050 under accelerated decarbonisation.
Proven technology, deployed today. | Sustainable methanol — built around the buyer.

Stay informed on methanol market developments, regulatory changes, and industry trends shaping the future of sustainable fuels.
ThermaFuels has sharpened its strategy around sustainable bio-methanol and e-methanol — fuels with contracted demand, regulatory tailwinds, and a clear path to certification.
Our technology and site choices are made backwards from what our offtaker needs. 100% of first-plant capacity is under LOI with a top-tier global maritime bunkering operator. Future milestones — licensor partnership, feedstock agreement, offtake announcement, and certification — will be published as they firm up.

This comprehensive report prepared by the Global Maritime Forum for the Getting to Zero Coalition introduces a new framework for assessing the maturity of scalable zero-emission fuels from 1) Proof of concept, reached once a fuel has been shown to be safe and effective in real-world demonstrations; 2) Initial scale, reflecting small-scale commercial adoption of the fuel on specific routes and ports; and 3) Maturity, marking the fuel’s development into a widely available solution, with limited barriers to uptake.

This paper from DNV, the world’s leading classification society and a recognized advisor for the maritime industry, examines the status of methanol as a marine fuel, addressing ships capable of using methanol as fuel, methanol fuel production, and the infrastructure that can supply them. It also discusses the potential way ahead for low-GHG methanol in the coming years and decades, highlighting the challenge of balancing supply and demand in light of the potential use of methanol as a GHG compliance strategy.
