Liquid Wind and Uniper announce the signing of a strategic partnership agreement, to further accelerate the development of eFuel facilities to produce fossil-free eMethanol, according to the company's release.
As part of the collaboration, Liquid Wind and Uniper will execute and evaluate opportunities to work together on plant development, power supply and the off-take of eMethanol to complement Liquid Wind’s ongoing development business. As a leading European energy company, Uniper sees the large-scale production of eFuel plants as essential to the ongoing transformation to a low-carbon society.
