The Star E-methanol Project, Led by a U.s. Subsidiary of Orsted, Plans to Use Captured Carbon Dioxide From a Local Industrial Facility to Produce E-methanol to Reduce the Carbon Footprint for Hard-to-electrify Sectors Like Shipping. Orsted’s Facility Is Estimated to Produce Up to 300,000 Metric Tons of E-methanol Per Year and Would Reduce the Carbon Footprint by 80% or More Than Traditional Production Methods. This Project Expects to Prove Out Both the Supply and Demand for Clean Hydrogen-derived Alternative Fuels for the Marine Shipping and Transportation Sector. These Sectors Currently Rely on Energy-intensive Fossil-derived Fuels to Move the World’s Goods. the Star E-methanol Project Is Estimated to Create 300 Construction Jobs and 50 Permanent Jobs. Orsted Has Committed to Working With the University of Houston to Develop a Curriculum Around Zero-carbon Fuels and the Hydrogen Economy. Overall, This Project Intends to Serve as a Catalyst to Equip Workers With the Skills to Take Part in the New Energy Economy.

Everything here is this single award's whole record — signed, amended, paid — not a fiscal-year slice. The by-year charts elsewhere split an award across the years it was committed; this page keeps it whole.
Committed is what the government has legally promised on this award so far. Contracts can also carry a ceiling — the maximum if every option is exercised. Unspent ceiling is headroom, not money owed.
The cash actually disbursed against this award. The gap from committed is the disbursement pipeline: promised, not yet cashed.
Each transaction is a signing event — an action that created or changed the award, dated the day it was signed — not a payment. Negative amounts are real: money de-committed at closeout or renegotiation.
One bar, the award’s whole arithmetic: paid out, then committed, not yet paid, then .
