Perpetual Next recently said it has selected shipping services group Clarksons as preferred partner for the brokerage of Perpetual Next’s biomethanol in the maritime sector. The collaboration focuses on international offtake and market access through Clarkson’s extensive international network. Perpetual Next developed a unique blueprint for large-scale biomethanol production with proven industrial technology. It enables rapid, serial replication of biomethanol plants at a commercial scale. The company added that demand for biomethanol in the international maritime sector is growing rapidly, driven by tightening decarbonisation regulations, the need to reduce greenhouse‑gas emissions and increasing investments in methanol‑capable vessels and bunkering infrastructure. Perpetual Next CCO Jurre Hijman , said: “Clarksons has a very strong presence across Europe, Asia and the United States – markets where we are active and have significant growth ambitions. As a company, we will benefit greatly from their market intelligence and we look forward to launching this collaboration.” Clarksons (Specialised Products) Divisional Director Halvor Naess , said: “We are delighted that Perpetual Next have chosen Clarksons as broker for its projects. Our ability to provide three joined-up services will bring greater efficiency to the opportunity ahead. “Our Investment Banking, Green Transition and Specialised Products divisions are uniquely positioned to offer financial solutions, offtake possibilities and last-mile logistics as we continue our effort to decarbonise the maritime sector and beyond. We have great confidence in Perpetual Next’s technology and are very excited to begin this journey together.”   Photo credit: william william on Unsplash Published: 18 May, 2026
