Solar-powered e-methanol project: Denmark’s European Energy A/S and Japanese trading firm Mitsui & Co. Ltd. have secured a green-financing bridge facility for their solar park and e-methanol plant in Denmark. Previously christened Solar Park Kassø (SPK), the project in Kassø is developed via a joint venture of these companies. The site produced the initial batch of e-methanol in May 2025 for container vessel Laura Mærsk, operated by key offtaker A.P. Moller – Maersk. Additional offtake agreements are in place with the LEGO Group and Novo Nordisk, among others, the duo stated. The e-methanol project has an annual production capacity of up to 42,000 tonnes. It is powered by the Kassø Solar Park, which has been operational since 2023. The bridge facility from Nordea and SMBC, with a partial guarantee from EIFO, provides the JV with short-term liquidity, as it targets an active process to raise long-term project financing.
