For Offtakers

E-Methanol Supply

Long-term supply of certified green e-methanol from plants ICODOS designs, builds, owns, and operates — with compliance documentation that travels with every delivery.

Shipping fuel

Built for Reliable Supply

What that means for your supply

≥99.85%

product purity

IMPCA AA-grade e-methanol, ready to use on day one — no purification or blending required on your side.

10+yrs

offtake agreements

Long-term contracts with 5-year revolving extensions — dependable volume you can plan your operations around.

RFNBO

certified & documented

RED III-compliant and ISCC EU-certified, with a carbon intensity below 10 gCO₂/MJ — the paperwork travels with every delivery.

>28M€

funding secured

Backed by private investors and public grants, including Horizon Europe — a funded, accountable supplier, not a pitch.

Who We Supply

Built for shipping, chemicals, and aviation

Regulation is turning fossil fuel and fossil feedstock into a compliance liability across shipping, chemicals, and aviation. Certified e-methanol is the compliant, drop-in alternative — and because supply is contracted years ahead of production, securing it early locks in both volume and certification well before the 2028 deadlines.

Shipping

FuelEU Maritime penalties reach roughly €2,400 per tonne of VLSFO-equivalent for GHG-intensity shortfalls, on top of EU ETS carbon costs that phase in fully by 2026. E-methanol is a certified, drop-in alternative for dual-fuel engines already on the water.

Chemicals

RED III's RFNBO mandate and CBAM exposure are pushing chemical producers toward certified renewable feedstock. E-methanol is a drop-in input for methanol-based chemistry, with the compliance paperwork built in.

Aviation

Methanol-to-jet is an emerging pathway to sustainable aviation fuel under ReFuelEU Aviation. We're tracking this pathway as our supply base scales.

Available Volumes

Two plant sizes, built to your scale

Plant S

≈3,500 t/year

Our entry-level commercial plant — sized for a first offtake agreement, a trial volume, or a single industrial site's biogenic CO₂ point source.

Plant M

≈35,000 t/year

Our large-scale commercial plant — sized for multi-year industrial offtake with shipping and chemical companies looking to decarbonize at volume.

Proven, Not Theoretical

From validated pilot to commercial supply

Every stage of our process has already been demonstrated — backed by more than €28M in private and public funding, including Horizon Europe. Commercial supply is a scale-up of what's running today, not a bet on what might work.

2019–2023

Lab & pilot validation

The patented hybrid process was proven at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT).

2024–2025

Mannheim 001

The world's first fully integrated, automated, dynamically operated e-methanol plant — built and validated end-to-end with KIT and EBS Mannheim.

2026

POSEIDON demonstration

A 15× scale-up toward commercial volumes, backed by a €10M Horizon Europe grant.

Toward 2028

First commercial plants

Our first Plant S-class commercial projects are advancing toward final investment decision in Germany and Spain — early conversations are already shaping who secures 2027–2028 volumes.

2030s

Global, standardized roll-out

Plant S and Plant M replicate globally, with a larger Plant L already in planning — building toward more than 5 million tonnes of annual e-methanol capacity.

How Supply Works

What you're actually signing up for

We structure offtake agreements the way a compliance-driven, bankable buyer needs them: transparent, certified, and sized to you.

  1. 01

    Long-term offtake agreements

    Contracts typically run a minimum of 10 years with 5-year revolving extensions, priced against transparent, benchmark-indexed terms rather than opaque one-off quotes.

  2. 02

    Certification travels with the fuel

    RFNBO, RED III, and ISCC EU Voluntary Scheme certification transfers directly to you — ready to fold into your own regulatory reporting.

  3. 03

    IMPCA AA-spec purity, ready on day one

    ≥99.85% purity and a carbon intensity below 10 gCO₂/MJ — well under the RED III threshold, with no purification or blending required.

  4. 04

    Volumes matched to your scale

    From Plant S trial volumes to Plant M industrial supply, we size the plant to your offtake — not the other way around.

The Path to an Agreement

A structured, transparent process

We offer qualified offtakers a clear path from first conversation to a binding agreement that secures your volumes.

  1. Step 1

    Intro meeting

    A first conversation to understand your volume needs, timeline, and how ICODOS supply could fit.

  2. Step 2

    Commercial alignment

    Under a mutual NDA, we align on volumes, timeline, pricing structure, and terms.

  3. Step 3

    Binding offtake agreement

    A binding agreement securing your volumes, structured to be suitable for project financing.

Why ICODOS

Built to be a supplier, not just a technology

  1. 01

    We own and operate what we sell

    Unlike technology licensors, ICODOS builds, owns, and operates every plant — the molecules you contract for are backed by a facility we're accountable for, not a design someone else still has to build.

  2. 02

    Consistent, certified product quality

    Every tonne is IMPCA AA-spec e-methanol at ≥99.85% purity with a carbon intensity below 10 gCO₂/MJ — RFNBO-qualified, RED III-compliant, and ISCC EU-certified, so it drops straight into your operations and your compliance reporting.

  3. 03

    Modular plants, faster time to volume

    Standardized, pre-fabricated Plant S and Plant M designs cut typical project timelines by more than 12 months, so committed supply arrives sooner.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

  • How do I secure a supply agreement with ICODOS?

    Start with an intro conversation about your volume needs and timeline. From there we move to commercial alignment under NDA, then to a binding offtake agreement that secures your volumes.

  • What certifications come with the fuel?

    Our e-methanol meets IMPCA AA-spec purity (≥99.85%), a carbon intensity below 10 gCO₂/MJ, and is RFNBO-qualified, RED III-compliant, and certified under the ISCC EU Voluntary Scheme — all transferred to you as part of the offtake agreement.

  • What volumes are available, and from when?

    Plant S delivers ≈3,500 t/year; Plant M scales to ≈35,000 t/year. Our first plants total ≈40,000 t/year of combined capacity, with commercial supply targeted from 2028 — early conversations are already shaping who secures those first volumes.

  • Why should we act early?

    Certified e-methanol supply is contracted years ahead of production, and our first plants have limited combined capacity. Acting early secures your volumes — and the compliance certification that travels with them — ahead of the 2028 deadlines, rather than competing for scarce certified supply once the rules take effect.

  • Do you supply outside Europe?

    Our first plants are sited in Europe, but the modular design is built to replicate globally as demand grows — talk to us about your region.

  • Can I license ICODOS' technology instead of buying supply?

    Our core model is building, owning, and operating plants that supply certified e-methanol directly. If you're exploring carbon capture for your own site, see our Gas Cleaning & Upgrading page.
