On 26th September 2026, the foundation stone for India’s first port-based e-methanol production facility was laid at Deendayal Port, Kandla, Gujarat, marking a step towards cleaner maritime fuels and India’s net-zero transition.

What is e-Methanol Facility?

  • A state-of-the-art port-integrated industrial plant designed to produce synthetic, carbon-neutral e-methanol (green methanol) by synthesising green hydrogen generated from renewable electricity with captured biogenic carbon dioxide (CO2).

Key Features of e-Methanol Facility

  • Institutional Framework: The project is a 76:24 joint venture between Deendayal Port Authority and Assam Petro-Chemicals Ltd.
  • Capacity: 150 tonnes per day (TPD), developed in two phases.
  • Inputs: Renewable power, desalinated water and captured biogenic CO₂.

Significance for India’s Maritime Decarbonisation

  • It can support maritime decarbonisation, green hydrogen adoption, clean-fuel exports and India’s Net Zero target by 2070, while strengthening inter-state industrial cooperation.
