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.
