With a planned investment of approximately 100 million euros, EemsGas aims to develop one of the first large-scale gasification facilities for the production of green gas in the Netherlands.
EemsGas is collaborating with TNO, among others, on the development of the plant. TNO is providing the technology for the gasification of waste wood.
Technip Energies will further develop the engineering design of the plant during the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) phase. During this phase, the plant design, costs and technical feasibility will be defined in greater detail. The results will form part of the basis for the final investment decision in 2027. Following a positive investment decision, construction can begin. The plant is expected to produce approximately 18 million cubic metres of green gas annually from waste wood from 2029. This is significantly higher than the production volumes of conventional green gas facilities. The green gas can be supplied to households and businesses through the existing gas infrastructure, replacing fossil natural gas.
“Technip Energies brings extensive international engineering expertise and experience to the project” said Rene Buwalda, CEO of Perpetual Next and board member of EemsGas. “This allows us to take an important next step in the development of EemsGas. With this project, we aim to produce green gas from residual streams on a large scale, contributing to a more sustainable Dutch energy supply that is less dependent on imports.”
The development of EemsGas supports the ambition to further scale up green gas production in the Netherlands. On 6th October 2026, the Dutch House of Representatives approved the bill introducing a mandatory green gas blending obligation. The bill still needs to be considered by the Senate. The proposed obligation is intended to stimulate the production and use of green gas as an alternative to fossil natural gas.
