Elyse Energy announces the opening of an e-methanol plant

Elyse Energy – an industrial SME pioneering the production of low-carbon molecules – has announced the installation of an e-methanol production plant, called eM-Rhône, on Les Roches-Roussillon chemical platform in the Isère department.

Selected by the European Innovation Fund, the project accounts for a total investment of approximately €700 million. It will enable the production of nearly 150,000 tonnes of renewable methanol and the substitution of imported consumption with local production, while avoiding the emission of 207,000 tonnes of CO2 equivalent per year.

The project will use CO2 captured in Lafarge’s plant in Le Teil, and forms part of the partnership initiated in 2022 between Lafarge France and Elyse Energy.

Construction is scheduled to start in 2025, with industrial commissioning in early 2028. The preliminary consultation process, a key stage in the project, is expected to be launched in early 2024.

Following on from eM-Lacq, announced in 2022 in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department, eM-Rhône is a new stage in the eM-France e-methanol programme led by Elyse Energy.
