Also known as renewable methanol, is a sustainable and environmentally friendly fuel produced from carbon dioxide recycling. It reduces greenhouse gas emissions and dependency on fossil fuels. It can be used in transportation, power generation, and chemical synthesis, contributing to a greener and more sustainable future.
También conocido como metanol renovable, es un combustible sostenible y respetuoso con el medio ambiente producido a partir del reciclaje del dióxido de carbono. Reduce las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero y la dependencia de los combustibles fósiles. Puede utilizarse en transporte, generación de energía y síntesis química, contribuyendo a un futuro más verde y sostenible.
Green methanol should be a priority in any new fuel production project, especially to avoid greenhouse gas emissions.
The spectacular thing about the process is the magic of absorbing CO2 to generate energy from it. Moreover, by only adding renewable energy and water, there are zero CO2 emissions.
The production of methanol will be ready by 2027 with the construction and launch of Europe's most advanced project.
Consumption will be crucial for bunkering, transportation, and the chemical industry.

And what is that figure? It seems high, but I don't understand it.
By using CO2 to create methanol, CO2 is absorbed and therefore a significant amount of CO2 is saved.
¿Y cuál es esa cifra? Parece alta, pero no la entiendo.
Al utilizar el CO2 para crear metanol, se absorbe el CO2 y, por lo tanto, se ahorra una cantidad significativa de CO2.

The CO2 is captured using amines, while the H2 is obtained by splitting water with renewable electricity. These inputs are combined in a reactor to produce methanol, which is then extracted and used as a sustainable fuel or chemical feedstock. This process helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promotes a greener energy future.
Right on the exit of the flue gases a new plant will capture with amines the CO2 to separate it from other components.

El CO2 se captura utilizando aminas, mientras que el H2 se obtiene mediante la separación del agua con electricidad renovable. Estos recursos se combinan en un reactor para producir metanol, que luego se extrae y utiliza como combustible sostenible o materia prima química. Este proceso ayuda a reducir las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero y promueve un futuro energético más verde.

Triskelion will be the first project worldwide to deploy Topsoe’s SOEC technology for e-methanol production, combining hydrogen generation and methanol synthesis into one integrated system.
Although we often refer to green hydrogen as a single concept, there are in fact different technologies to produce it. Each has its own advantages, limitations, and level of maturity, and not all are equally suited for integration into large-scale industrial projects like Triskelion.
At Forestal del Atlántico, this energy vector is key to our Triskelion project. Why? Because without renewable hydrogen, we wouldn’t be able to transform captured CO₂ into e-methanol, the clean fuel we will produce in Galicia.
With Triskelion, our future green methanol plant in Mugardos, we will not only produce a renewable fuel with global impact but also create direct synergies with Galicia’s bioeconomy.
The Spanish government has presented the draft Royal Decree to promote renewable fuels, implementing the European RED III directive. With this measure, Spain defines how it will apply the EU’s decarbonization strategy, boosting the use of renewable energy in transport and industry and positioning next-generation renewable fuels as a key driver of this transition.
This week, the media has highlighted strategic industrial projects as key drivers of employment and competitiveness in Galicia. Among them is our green methanol plant in Mugardos, one of the first projects to receive this designation from the Regional Government of Galicia (Xunta de Galicia).
The green transition is no longer just about producing clean energy; it now aims to transform the entire productive system, including industry, transport, chemistry, agriculture, and material design.
Triskelion, the most advanced green methanol project in Europe, is being presented today in Brussels as a success case at the Permitting Workshop 2025, hosted by CINEA and the European Commission at the Albert Borschette Congress Centre.
Europe is undergoing an unprecedented transformation. Climate neutrality by 2050 is no longer an aspirational goal — it is a legal obligation, defined by the European Climate Law and supported by a comprehensive policy framework designed to align sustainability, industrial competitiveness, and energy autonomy.
In the search for sustainable solutions to decarbonize hard-to-electrify sectors like maritime transport, green methanol is taking a leading role. While there are various alternatives, green methanol offers clear advantages in terms of efficiency, ease of implementation, and compatibility with existing infrastructure.
The B36:45V20 engines stand out for their ability to operate at a nominal electrical efficiency of 50%, converting half of the fuel energy into electricity, reducing energy consumption and environmental impact.
The project includes CO2 capture, electrolysis for green hydrogen, and methanol production. The plant will produce up to 56,000 tons of green methanol annually.
We are one step closer to seeing the first ton of Green Methanol with Triskelion in Europe. The signing of the grant agreement with the European Union's Executive Agency for Climate, Infrastructure, and Environment marks a milestone in Triskelion's journey towards Green Methanol production.
In the production of Methanol, it is important to assess the environmental impact of our industry. To do so, we will determine whether a project that captures CO2 from a cogeneration plant, where the fuel is natural gas, can be classified as green.
Triskelion será el primer proyecto del mundo en implementar la tecnología SOEC de Topsoe para la producción de e-metanol, combinando la generación de hidrógeno y la síntesis de metanol en un único sistema integrado.
Aunque hablemos de hidrógeno verde como un único concepto, en realidad existen diferentes tecnologías para producirlo. Cada una tiene sus ventajas, sus limitaciones y su grado de madurez. Y no todas son iguales a la hora de integrarse en proyectos industriales de gran escala como Triskelion.
En Forestal del Atlántico, este vector energético es clave en nuestro proyecto Triskelion. ¿Por qué? Porque sin hidrógeno renovable, no podríamos transformar el CO₂ capturado en e-metanol, el combustible limpio que produciremos en Galicia.
Con Triskelion, nuestra futura planta de metanol verde en Mugardos, no solo produciremos un combustible renovable con impacto global, sino que también generaremos sinergias directas con la bioeconomía gallega.
El Gobierno español ha presentado el borrador del Real Decreto que impulsa los combustibles renovables y adapta la directiva europea RED III. Con ello, España define cómo aplicará la estrategia europea de descarbonización, impulsando el uso de energías renovables en transporte e industria y situando a los combustibles renovables de nueva generación como eje central del cambio.
Esta semana los medios han puesto el foco en los proyectos industriales estratégicos como motor de empleo y competitividad en Galicia. Entre ellos se encuentra nuestra planta de metanol verde en Mugardos, uno de los primeros proyectos en recibir esta declaración por parte de la Xunta de Galicia.
La transición ecológica ya no se limita a generar energía limpia; ahora busca transformar todo el sistema productivo, abarcando la industria, el transporte, la química, la agricultura y el diseño de materiales.
Triskelion, el proyecto de metanol verde más avanzado de Europa, se presenta hoy en Bruselas como caso de éxito en el Permitting Workshop 2025, organizado por CINEA y la Comisión Europea en el Albert Borschette Congress Centre.
Europa se enfrenta a una transformación sin precedentes. La neutralidad climática para 2050 ya no es una meta aspiracional: es una obligación jurídica, definida por la Ley Europea del Clima y respaldada por una arquitectura de políticas públicas que busca alinear sostenibilidad, competitividad industrial y autonomía energética.
Ya falta menos para ver la primera tonelada de GM en Europa.
La firma del acuerdo de subvención con la Agencia Ejecutiva de Clima, Infraestructura y Medio Ambiente de la Unión Europea marca un hito en el camino hacia Triskelion.
En la producción de metanol, es importante evaluar el impacto ambiental de nuestra industria. Para hacerlo, determinaremos si un proyecto que captura CO2 de una planta de cogeneración, donde el combustible es gas natural, puede clasificarse como verde.
The project has several key positive impacts on industry with increase in employment and industrial activity in the area.
