Key Drivers
- Shipping: Maersk, CMA CGM, and others are building methanol-powered vessels to meet IMO’s decarbonization targets.
- EU Fuel Mandates: The FuelEU Maritime Regulation and Fit-for-55 package impose strict GHG intensity targets, creating strong demand for renewable fuels.
- ISCC Certification: Desert Power®’s output qualifies for ISCC EU and ISCC PLUS schemes — required for blending credits and regulatory recognition.
- Asian and Gulf Initiatives: Oman, UAE, and Singapore are positioning themselves as green fuel hubs with dedicated port infrastructure.
- Chemical Industry: Methanol is a base molecule for plastics, solvents, and synthetic fuels — and producers are under pressure to decarbonize their supply chains.
The Desert Advantage
