The M²ARE project is developing a low-cost, low-carbon methanol fuel for the shipping industry, synthesized from biogenic CO₂ and renewable H₂. This fuel is essential for achieving a reduction in maritime CO₂ emissions. A foundational step in scaling this technology is securing a reliable, sustainable carbon feedstock. This factsheet presents the findings of the M²ARE project on the categorization and mapping of available bio-CO₂ streams across Europe. It assesses the quality and quantity of CO₂ from various biomass sources—such as biogas, bioethanol, and pulp & paper—to qualify them as feedstocks for the next-generation Maritime Methanol process.
