HyOrc completes off-site modular build of first commercial waste-to-methanol plant bound for Porto

September 27, 2026 |

In the UK, Fuel Cells Works reported that HyOrc Corporation announced the completion of modular off-site fabrication and assembly for its first commercial waste to methanol module. 

The modular plant is now preparing for factory testing and then transport to Portugal, establishing HyOrc’s commercial footprint in Europe, according to the report.

Engineered to process approximately three tons-per-day of RDF—non-recyclable municipal and industrial waste—the system is designed to yield up-to one tonne-per-day of chemical-grade green methanol, according to the report.

The report also noted that the Porto deployment represents the baseline commercial blueprint for HyOrc’s modular replication strategy. Additional high-priority ports across Europe for potential locations to deploy its modular waste-to-fuel infrastructure include Algeciras, Barcelona, Genoa, Marseille, Le Havre, Antwerp, Rotterdam, Bremen, Immingham, Gdansk, Gothenburg, and Varna.
