Blue World Technologies has received loan financing from the Danish Green Investment Fund that administrates green investments from the Danish Government. With the cutting-edge methanol fuel cell technology and the support from the Danish Government, this capital will help push forward the green transition of the transportation industry.
The ambition has been set: according to Blue World Technologies, millions of cars will in the future be powered by the renewable fuel, methanol. With cutting-edge technology, the company has built a green alternative for the combustion engine that our cars use today. The hope is that the green alternative also becomes part of the solution of transforming the transportation sector.
According to Our World in Data, the transportation sector accounts for 21% of all CO2 emission globally. If Blue World Technologies manages to become a global player there are massive green business potential to be gained, explains Anders Korsgaard:
The green colleague of the electric vehicle
In recent years, there has become a great focus on the transition of the transportation sector, and electric-powered vehicles and the charging infrastructure are an important part of the equation. But it is also a well-known challenge that driving range and the resulting inflexibility cause consumers to opt out of the electric vehicle. It is the batteries in the cars that set a limit for the driving range, however, Blue World Technologies solves this problem. Methanol fuel cells function as a range-extender in an electric vehicle, where it in a hybrid constellation with a smaller battery provides a driving range of up to 1000 km. At the same time, long charging times are avoided, as liquid methanol is refuelled in only a few minutes in the same familiar way as we know it from gasoline and diesel.
Blue World Technologies and The Danish Green Investment Fund have recently signed an agreement on loan financing of 10 million DKK (equivalent to approx. € 1,34 million). The Danish Green Investment Fund’s purpose is to develop new technologies and companies that can contribute to promoting the green transition where the transportation sector is an important focus area for The Danish Green Investment Fund, explains Managing Director of the fund, Michael Zöllner:
Blue World Technologies currently employs approximately 50 people with the headquarters located in Aalborg, and a development and production department in Kvistgaard.
