Marine biomethanol, with future pathways under evaluation

Shipping companies are evaluating alternative fuels as the industry works toward greenhouse-gas reduction targets. Biomethanol is one potential pathway, subject to vessel requirements, fuel quality, certification and verified lifecycle performance.

Designed around Asian marine-fuel logistics

Andhra Pradesh’s east-coast position creates a potential route to Asian shipping markets through the Bay of Bengal and Strait of Malacca. Visakhapatnam–Singapore is an established maritime trade connection; the exact product route, port, storage arrangements, vessel type, transit schedule and delivered cost will be assessed with logistics and bunkering partners.

Singapore has already conducted methanol bunkering operations and established a licensing framework for methanol bunker suppliers. This makes it a relevant market to engage, but it does not guarantee access, offtake or a specific logistics arrangement for Indus Biofuels.

Future SAF pathway

Methanol-to-sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is a longer-term pathway under evaluation—not part of the committed initial project scope.

Designed for resource efficiency

We aim to maximize beneficial use of process outputs, including evaluating biogenic CO₂ recovery and possible uses for suitable solid residues. These opportunities require technical testing and commercial validation.
