Green methanol · Modular production · New Zealand

The world needs 60,000,000 tonnes of green methanol. It has 2.

The largest single opportunity in maritime decarbonisation — and CarbonLab's Modular Methanol Reactor is built to win the biggest possible share of it.

The problem

The ships are on the water. The fuel doesn't exist.

Multi-billion-dollar dual-fuel fleets face a structural choice: burn fossil fuel and pay quantified penalties, or sit idle. Neither is a viable commercial position — and no announced capacity build-out is on track to close the gap in time.

2040 demand60 Mt/yr
Supply today2.2 Mt/yr
The solution

One reactor. Ninety percent less capital.

Conventional plants cost USD $1.2–2 billion and take five to seven years to build. The Modular Methanol Reactor is containerised, relocatable, and deployed at the biomass source in weeks — scaled batch by batch against confirmed offtake, not years ahead of it.

PILLAR 1

Technology

Light and sound-driven synthesis at low pressure. Each mechanism peer-reviewed; the integration proprietary.

PILLAR 2

Pilot

Commercial soft start at Arundel, South Canterbury, New Zealand — mass balance, purity and reliability proven under real conditions.

PILLAR 3

Domestic

First revenue as Methanex exits NZ's 75,000-tonne market. Track record before scale.

PILLAR 4

Global

Tier 1 shipping offtake from Taranaki — chokepoint-free, non–Middle East supply.

The investment

Priced by proof, not projection.

Entry at NZD $20 million, $2.00 per share. The valuation moves through 33 independently verified milestones — never on a modelled forecast.

Now — experimental reactor built, benchtop testing underway
$20m
First methanol from the Super Confluence Reactor
$50m
Patents awarded — technology validated
$100m
Arundel proven — sustained, reliable commercial production
$900m
Signed offtake with a Tier 1 counterparty
$2,900m
First Taranaki goal — 1M tonnes under a 10-year contract
$9,749m
Read this honestly: the ceiling is a modelled planning scenario, not contracted revenue. Shipping offtake remains exploratory; no agreement of that scale exists, and no milestone is yet marked achieved.

Green methanol is the new oil. This is the rig.
