The Victorian State Government in Australia is looking into the possibility of expanding green methanol and production supply, according to Ship & Bunker.
The government announced last week that it would be putting $500,000 in funding behind a feasibility study on establishing a green methanol production facility at Portland, energy firm HAMR Energy said in an emailed statement.
The study will be led by Portland H2, a subsidiary of HAMR Energy.
The plant would convert plantation forestry residue into biomethanol.
