From Methanol to Market: Building Green Fuels Infrastructure

Executive Summary:
Green methanol is emerging as a cornerstone of clean energy — powering ships, blending into aviation fuel, and replacing fossil feedstocks in chemical manufacturing. At AER Energy, we’re building modular, carbon-negative infrastructure to produce bio-methanol from waste biomass, delivering verified carbon removals and up to 500 million litres of renewable fuel capacity worldwide.

Why Green Methanol Is Gaining Ground

As sectors like shipping, aviation, and heavy industry seek scalable climate solutions, green methanol stands out for its:

• 🚢 Compatibility with maritime engines (IMO 2050-compliant)
• ✈️ Potential in Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) blends
• 🏭 Use as a drop-in decarbonized feedstock in chemical production

It’s a molecule that moves — and stores renewable energy in liquid form.

What Is Green Methanol (and Why Does It Matter)?

Green methanol is a low-carbon or carbon-negative version of traditional fossil methanol. There are two primary production pathways:

• 💨 E-methanol: Captured CO₂ + renewable hydrogen
• 🌾 Bio-methanol: Biomass-derived syngas (AER’s focus)

At AER, we produce bio-methanol from high-purity syngas using patented gasification tech. This unlocks:

• ✅ Carbon-negative lifecycle (via biochar + captured CO₂)
• ✅ Verified carbon credit generation (MRV built-in)
• ✅ Commercial-grade fuel ready for shipping, SAF, and chemicals

Why Infrastructure Matters Now

Most green methanol projects today remain stuck in development. Delays stem from:

• ❌ Lack of secure biomass supply
• ❌ Long permitting timelines
• ❌ Missing technical integration between syngas and methanol processes

AER solves this by delivering:

• ✅ Modular production systems — deployable in 6–12 months
• ✅ Confirmed feedstock — through forestry/agricultural partnerships
• ✅ Real projects in progress — including a commissioned facility in China

How AER’s Platform Works

We integrate end-to-end systems that turn waste into verified, low-carbon fuel:

🔹 Modular Syngas Generation

• Operates at ~800°C
• Processes MSW, agricultural waste, and biomass
• No fossil fuel input, fully autothermal

🔹 Patented Methanol Synthesis

• High-efficiency catalytic conversion
• Adaptable to grid or off-grid deployment
• Optimized for variable hydrogen/CO ratios

🔹 Built-In MRV and Credit Eligibility

• Compatible with Puro.earth, Verra, ISO 14064, RED II, and RVO
• Generates biochar and permanent CO₂ removal
• Verified lifecycle carbon removal

🔹 Flexible Outputs

• Shippable as bulk fuel
• Blends into SAF pipelines
• Used as low-carbon chemical feedstock

AER’s Competitive Advantage

Why It’s Ideal for Asia-Pacific and Emerging Markets

AER’s modular platform doesn’t rely on mega-scale plants in capital cities. Instead, it thrives in:

• 🛳️ Coastal refueling terminals
• 🌾 Agricultural and forestry basins
• 🏭 Industrial zones needing clean fuel input
• 🌏 Nations prioritizing energy independence and decarbonization

The systems are self-contained, AI-automated, and grid-optional — ideal for the region’s varied infrastructure landscape.

Join the Pipeline: 500 Million Litres and Growing

AER Energy is actively developing a global pipeline of 500+ million litres of capacity across Australia, China, Southeast Asia, and beyond.

We’re actively engaging:

• 🤝 Joint venture partners and investors
• 📄 Carbon credit and fuel offtake buyers
• 🚢 Shipping companies and SAF suppliers
• 📍 Site partners near feedstock sources

Conclusion: Methanol Is Moving From Pilot to Infrastructure

Green methanol is no longer an R&D story — it’s core infrastructure for the clean fuel economy. AER Energy is delivering real projects, carbon-backed value, and a clear pathway to scale.
