PuriFire Energy Wins UK Clean Maritime Funding for TURBO-METH Green Biomethanol Project

PuriFire Energy has shared an update. The company announced that it is among the winners of the UK Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition Round 6 (CMDC6) for its TURBO-METH project, developed in partnership with HyperGen. The project will conduct a pre-deployment trial of an integrated, end-to-end green biomethanol production and utilization system, combining PuriFire’s hydrothermal gasification-to-methanol technology with HyperGen’s biomethanol-fueled micro gas turbines for distributed power generation. The demonstration will take place at Shoreham Port, supported by a consortium including Shoreham Port, Newcastle University, Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult, Xpress Feeders, and Associated British Ports, with funding from the UK Department for Transport and Innovate UK.

For investors, this award signals growing validation of PuriFire Energy’s technology and strengthens its positioning in the rapidly evolving maritime decarbonization and green fuel markets. Participation in a government-backed demonstration project could accelerate commercialization timelines, create reference sites in port infrastructure, and enhance the company’s credibility with future industrial and shipping partners. If the TURBO-METH trial successfully proves technical and economic viability at scale, PuriFire may be well placed to access larger deployment opportunities in circular energy systems for ports and shipping, potentially supporting future revenue growth and improving its strategic profile within the clean energy and maritime sectors. However, the impact on near-term financials will depend on the size of project funding, follow-on contracts, and the pace at which the demonstrated model can be replicated across other ports.
