Alternative Petroleum and Power Limited (APPL) faced a challenge in exporting renewable methanol and ammonia sustainably without traditional jetty facilities, balancing operational needs with environmental concerns. To address this, ECOnnect introduced innovative jettyless terminal technology for exporting E-fuels, aligning with APPL's commitment to environmental stewardship. This collaboration highlights a strategic partnership aimed at advancing sustainable energy solutions in Africa, prioritizing both economic growth and environmental responsibility.

The challenge

E-Fuels, also known as synthetic fuels or electrofuels, are synthetic fuels produced using renewable electricity. APPL will create e-methanol and ammonia by combining hydrogen produced through electrolysis of water using renewable electricity with captured carbon dioxide.  

APPL faced a significant challenge in establishing a sustainable and efficient method for exporting renewable methanol and ammonia without relying on traditional jetty facilities. The challenge for APPL was not just about finding a way to export these products but doing so in a manner that reflected their values and contributed to their overall goal of becoming a leading supplier of clean E-fuels in Africa.

The solution

In response to APPL's challenge, ECOnnect introduced its jettyless terminal technology as a solution to facilitate the marine-based export of methanol and ammonia. ECOnnect Energy’s proprietary e-fuel export solution features a floating, low impact IQuay and subsea infrastructure to enable a safe and efficient export route, seamlessly connecting to e-Fuel carriers for futher export. This strategic collaboration between APPL and ECOnnect exemplifies a shared vision for driving forward transformative projects that prioritize both economic growth and environmental responsibility.

Spread mooring uses multiple anchors and standard components for quicker, less intrusive installation, while dolphin mooring relies on fixed structures that require heavy civil works and longer lead times. This makes spread mooring more flexible and environmentally friendly, with higher operational uptime and easier adaptation to floating transfer systems like the IQuay C-Class. Recent projects show that spread mooring is becoming a preferred choice for LNG terminals where speed, sustainability, and adaptability are priorities.

ECOnnect Energy is pleased to announce significant progress in the development of the IQuay Regas Terminal, having recently secured two pre-FEED contracts for the fast-track modular regasification (regas) solution. The IQuay Regas Terminal consists of a Floating Storage Unit (FSU), a modular floating regas platform (the R-Class), ship mooring and subsea or floating pipelines to shore for transfer of high-pressure gas. These two milestones underscore the growing market interest in fast, floating, and flexible alternatives to traditional regasification infrastructure.
