Perpetual Next licenses Air Liquide syngas-to-methanol tech
The agreement marks an important step in the industrial roll-out of Perpetual Next’s Biomethanol Blueprint, a standardized concept designed to enable the serial development and replication of large-scale biomethanol facilities based on proven industrial teschnologies.
Under the Agreement, Air Liquide Engineering and Technologies will provide their RectisolTM and LurgiTM Methanol technology. The technology is designed to process syngas from a broad range of sources, including syngas from biomass and has been deployed in numerous industrial plants worldwide.
Perpetual Next’s Blueprint integrates torrefaction, gasification, syngas cleaning and upgrade, with methanol synthesis to convert low-grade organic waste, including waste wood, into biomethanol. The standardized approach is intended to reduce development complexity, support repeatable project execution and create economies of scale across a portfolio of facilities.
Perpetual Next is developing its biomethanol portfolio to address growing demand for renewable carbon-based methanol in the chemical industry and maritime sector. Its Delfzijl facility in the Netherlands is planned with an annual biomethanol production capacity of 220,000 tonnes, while the company’s broader global development pipeline is intended to create significant production capacity through replication of the Blueprint.
