Moller - Maersk, has invested in Vertoro , a Dutch start-up focused on developing liquid lignin technology which can be used as a marine fuel. The output of this plant will be used to develop further marine fuels in partnership with Maersk as well as other applications for the materials and chemicals markets. Earlier post.)

Mærsk Group is currently involved in two projects focused on realizing the marine fuel potential of one of the world’s most abundant and sustainable biomass resources: lignin. Lignin is a complex organic polymer found in plants; the more lignin there is in wood, the sturdier and stronger the wood is and the more efficiently it burns.

The goal of the project is to continue to develop a circular carbon economy that replaces the petroleum-based chemicals in consumer products with algae-derived and biodegradable polymers. This project will demonstrate the conversion of gaseous carbon wood wastes (terpenes) to renewable Terpenes SAF blending components. Comstock Inc.,

The marine sector has very different fuel requirements than automotive or aviation. Lignin is a structural bio-polymer which contributes to the rigidity of plants. They also observed that Progression Industry in the Netherlands has been collaborating with Mærsk to develop a lignin-based marine fuel—CyclOx—since 2012.
