Evos and HyFive have signed a letter of intent (LOI) for an e-methanol storage and handling project in the Port of Rotterdam.
Within the non-binding LOI, both companies will look at potential technical and commercial parameters – including logistics interfaces and operational requirements – for the venture, which intends to use e-methanol produced by HyFive’s HyMet Musel project in northern Spain. The plan also includes the Port of Rotterdam constructing five new storage tanks – with a combined capacity of 67,500m3 – a new pump station and new jetty, with the project expected to be operational by 2028.
Alberto Sanchez de Rojas, General Manager, HyFive, said: “We are pleased to sign this LOI with Evos to explore a potential supply route for e‑methanol from our HyMet Musel project. While this is an initial step, it is an important milestone in assessing downstream infrastructure options that could help meet growing demand for cleaner marine fuels in the ARA region.”
Christiaan Kop, Evos Rotterdam Managing Director, followed: “We welcome the opportunity to explore, through this potential partnership with HyFive, how our Rotterdam terminal could support future e‑methanol flows into the ARA region. We see strong long‑term momentum behind low‑carbon fuels, and we continue to invest in infrastructure that can help our customers and partners navigate the energy transition.”
