Shiva Engineering Services (SES), one of leading Indian engineering and construction services companies with a strong global presence, has announced a strategic collaboration with Pivot Methanol, a consulting firm led by Gregory Dolan, former CEO of the Methanol Institute.

Through this partnership, SES and Pivot Methanol aim to advance the commercialization of renewable and e-methanol technologies and accelerate the development of sustainable fuel infrastructure across global markets.

Ashish Parikh, Chief Executive Officer of SES, stated, “The collaboration reflects the company’s long-term commitment to enabling sustainable energy transitions through technological innovation and partnership. By working closely with Pivot Methanol, SES is combining global insight with engineering excellence to deliver renewable methanol and e-methanol projects that are technically robust, commercially competitive, and environmentally sustainable, setting new benchmarks for the renewable fuel industry.”

SES specializes in design and engineering for process plants that enable sustainable industrial infrastructure, including renewable fuels, green hydrogen, and circular economy projects.

The methanol industry is rapidly transitioning from fossil-based feedstocks to renewable and low-carbon pathways. Methanol is increasingly being recognized as a key enabler of decarbonization, with applications in marine fuels, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), power generation, and as a hydrogen carrier.

This collaboration focuses on developing commercial-scale renewable methanol and e-methanol facilities powered by biomass gasification for renewable syngas generation, green hydrogen integration for e-methanol synthesis, biogenic CO₂ utilization for circular-carbon fuels and modular EPC delivery for scalable and rapid deployment.

The collaboration between Pivot Methanol and SES brings together two organizations with a shared vision - to advance renewable methanol from concept to commercial reality.
