Maersk is buying methanol for fuel for a new fleet of ships.

The shipping giant A.P. Moller-Maersk has signed an agreement to purchase 500,000 metric tons of methanol from the Chinese firm Goldwind to use as fuel for ships. Goldwind is developing a project, to be completed in 2026, in northeast China to make biomethanol and methanol via electrolysis powered by wind. Maersk expects to take delivery of its first methanol- enabled ship early next year.
