Methylennium Energy Appoints Former Methanol Institute CEO as Board Advisor

Renewable methanol production technology developer Methylennium Energy has appointed former Methanol Institute CEO Gregory Dolan as a Board Advisor. Methylennium Energy's modular technology platform transforms intermittent renewable power and captured waste CO2 into transportable liquid fuels for maritime shipping, aviation, and transportation industries, chemicals, and grid-scale renewable power integration.

“We are excited to welcome Greg Dolan to the Methlyennium team as a Board Advisor,” said Founder and CEO Dr. Max Lyubovsky. “Mr. Dolan is recognized as a leading voice across the global methanol industry, and will help guide our entry into multiple markets for green methanol fuels and chemicals.” “I’ve known Max for many years now, and have always been impressed with his vision for the future of the methanol industry,” noted Gregory Dolan, former Methanol Institute CEO and current Principal of Pivot Methanol consulting. “Methylennium’s technology to produce e-methanol from ethanol plant CO2 and low-cost intermittent renewable electricity is a real game-changer with great potential. I’m looking forward to bringing this technology to global markets.”

Methylennium Energy is partnering with CapCO2 Solutions, Inc. to develop green methanol projects that leverage ethanol plant waste CO2 and low-cost wind power across the Midwest. Ethanol fermentation emits a nearly pure stream of biogenic CO2. Capturing and converting it to methanol can reduce ethanol carbon intensity scores by 25-30 points, while using existing rail sidings and tanker loading for market access.
