OroCarbo selects Haffner Energy’s 20MW module for syngas-to-methanol

In California, OroCarbo has selected Haffner Energy’s SYNOCA® 20 MW module for integration into a 100 ton/day biomethanol project in California, using Maverick Synfuels’ syngas-to-methanol conversion technology. The initial contract focuses on the project’s Carbon Intensity (CI) study, to be conducted by an independent third party, marking the first milestone in the collaboration.

Project developer OroCarbo is based in Oroville, California, where the farmland of the California Central Valley meets the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Forestry residues, from forest maintenance designed to prevent wildfires, and agricultural waste, in particular from the vast orchards that define the local landscape, will easily allow the methanol plant to meet its 100 ton/day target.
