Emvolon has received a Massachusetts Manufacturing Innovation Initiative (M2I2) grant from MassTech’s Center for Advanced Manufacturing.
The award will support the commercialisation of Emvolon’s modular technology, which converts biomethane into biomethanol at the source of emissions.
Vassilis Triantopoulos, director of operations at Emvolon, accepted the funding on behalf of the company on 14 May.
Emvolon stated that the technology is intended to enable the production of locally sourced green fuels for hard-to-abate sectors.
The business highlighted several potential uses for biomethanol, including sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production, chemical feedstocks, plastics, pharmaceuticals, maritime fuel, power generation and biogenic waste-to-value applications.
The firm also pointed to possible support for Massachusetts Port Authority’s sustainability initiatives, including efforts linked to Logan International Airport and the Port of Boston.
The M2I2 programme aids advanced manufacturing projects in Massachusetts and is run through MassTech’s Center for Advanced Manufacturing.
Emvolon’s approach is based on smaller, modular production units that can be located near biomethane sources, rather than relying solely on large centralised plants.
The grant follows Emvolon’s earlier showcase of its stranded methane conversion technology at the 2026 Industry Growth Forum.
