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.

First methanol delivered. CarbonLab produced its first methanol from the August tests of the Super Confluence Reactor — achieving the $50m milestone on the valuation ladder below.

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.

Read this honestly: the ceiling is a modelled planning scenario, not contracted revenue. Shipping offtake remains exploratory; no agreement of that scale exists.
