Helm Scandinavia and Bioman have entered into a groundbreaking partnership that marks an important step in the green transition at the Port of Grenaa. With methanol as a greener alternative to conventional fuels, the collaboration strengthens both the companies' position and the port's role as a central energy hub for future sustainable fuels.
Morten Kristensen, Business Manager at Helm Scandinavia:
"Methanol is an essential part of the green transition and we are proud of our partnership with Bioman here in Grenaa. The new methanol plant, which is already in operation, allows us to supply the market with both fossil and green methanol, which is one of the cleanest fuels you can use in both marine and land-based industries. We expect significant growth in this area as the need for green methanol increases globally."
Helm Scandinavia, which is both ISCC Plus and ISCC EU certified, now has the opportunity to offer green methanol to the shipping industry. Morten Kristensen adds: "Our ambition is for the Port of Grenaa to become an important partner for supplying methanol to ships that need to refuel here in the port."
René Svenningsen, Operations Manager at Bioman:
"The new plant we have built is state of the art and fully complies with all safety and environmental standards. We have experienced impressive growth here at the Port of Grenaa over the past seven years, and this methanol project is an excellent example of how we continue to develop. The collaboration with Helm Scandinavia has been a key driver in this development."
René also highlights the long-standing relationship between Bioman and Helm Scandinavia, which has helped them to offer innovative green energy solutions today.
Henrik Carstensen, CEO at Port of Grenaa:
"We are proud to be part of this partnership, which not only strengthens the green transition, but also cements the role of the Port of Grenaa as a strategic hub for methanol distribution in Scandinavia. From the beginning, we have worked closely with Bioman in the development of the plant and in the dialog with Norddjurs Municipality. We look forward to continuing the good cooperation and playing a central role in promoting the use of both gray and green methanol."
Henrik Carstensen emphasizes that the Port of Grenaa is ready to expand its role as an energy hub for Methanol in both the maritime sector and other industries in the future. "We expect Methanol to play a crucial role in the maritime sector by 2030, and we are already well on our way."
This partnership demonstrates the Port of Grenaa's commitment to the green transition and contributes to making Djursland an important player in the Nordic market for green energy.
