Johnson Matthey technology selected for planned e-methanol plants in Spain

In the UK, Johnson Matthey’s (JM) e-methanol technology has been selected by Reolum for the next phase of its La Robla Nueva Energia (NE) project.

Located in the Spanish region of Castilla y León, it will be one of the largest e-methanol production plants in Europe, planned to be online by the end of 2027.

The facility will be one half of an integrated green energy generation project called La Robla Green. This project is made up of two cutting-edge facilities: Roblum, a green energy generation plant that will power more than 50,000 households – and La Robla NE, an e-methanol plant. La Robla NE blends the CO2 extracted from the biomass plant with green hydrogen to produce e-methanol, with the expectation of up to 140 kt/year, JM said.
