This week on EAH we have the CEO of C2X. Producing green fuels is no easy business, and among the many challenges, finding that elusive offtake often ranks high on the investor concern list. But C2X is a little different. Backed by A.P. Moller Holdings, the company has a unique understanding of how to find compelling commercial propositions for customers.

C2X is also a leader in the development of new large scale green methanol projects. Starting with their flagship project in Louisiana, the company looks to develop projects with both biofuel based green methanol and e-methanol derived from electrolysis and biogenic CO2. This provides a unique perspective on both old and new technologies for green fuel production, and how to close the gap.

As our first EAH episode dedicated to green methanol (and its role in fuels like SAF), we couldn’t have found someone better!
