Global demand for biomethanol is anticipated to grow substantially by 2050, driven by the introduction of new governmental policies, such as Europe’s FuelEU program, and voluntary industry initiatives aimed at reducing carbon emissions.
This trend presents a considerable challenge regarding the pace at which the industry must scale new production facilities to meet future demand.
Perpetual Next is currently rolling out its proprietary Biomethanol Blueprint across multiple production sites in Europe and the United States, aiming to meet the rapidly growing demand for biomethanol. The blueprint integrates torrefaction, gasification, and methanol synthesis technologies and is designed to enable rapid, serial scale-up to commercial scale biomethanol production for the global market.
“Bio-methanol is a key building block in the transition to low-carbon fuels for shipping, chemicals and industry” said Rene Buwalda, CEO at Perpetual Next. “Given the availability of feedstock and the related infrastructure which is very strong, we see a strong opportunity to accelerate responsible bio-methanol deployment in the southeastern United States through the roll-out of our Biomethanol Blueprint. It enables us to advance biomethanol as a practical, scalable solution for the energy and material transition.”
Perpetual Next is already working with a strong group of US-based partners to support this rollout, including TSI, a recognised company in the feedstock handling industry, and Fluor, acting as Owner’s Engineer.
