| Technology Brief |
constructed for converting glycerine (a by-product from biodiesel production) into bio-methanol, but currently feeding on biomethane
|
| Additional Information |
the facility currently simply turns biomethane into biomethanol, using only a fraction of their capacity
Connected to the national natural gas grid – itself connected to
the integrated NW Europe network
✓ Easy logistical access to major European end markets via rail and
sea freight from Delfzijl and road and barge from terminal in
Rotterdam
✓ Winner of Dutch National Enlightenmentz Awards for an
innovative green methanol production process converting
carbon dioxide and hydrogen into bio-methanol
✓ Capable of producing both methanol and bio-methanol
