Perpetual Next USA to develop three biomethanol facilities

Published by , Editorial Assistant

Perpetual Next USA is set to develop an additional three biomass-to-biomethanol production facilities in the Southeastern US, with each facility designed to process approximately 1 million tpy of sustainably sourced biomass feedstock. Development of the sites will commence in 2026.

With the introduction of new governmental policies, such as Europe’s FuelEU programme, and voluntary industry initiatives aimed at reducing carbon emissions, global demand for biomethanol is anticipated to grow substantially by 2050. This trend presents a considerable challenge regarding the pace at which the industry must scale new production facilities to meet future demand.

Biomethanol blueprint

Perpetual Next anticipated the rapidly growing global demand for biomethanol and is currently rolling out its proprietary Biomethanol Blueprint across multiple production sites in Europe and the US. The blueprint integrates torrefaction, gasification, and methanol synthesis technologies and is designed to enable rapid, serial scale-up to commercial scale biomethanol production for the global market.

“Biomethanol is a key building block in the transition to low-carbon fuels for shipping, chemicals, and industry,” said Rene Buwalda, CEO at Perpetual Next. “Given the availability of feedstock and the related infrastructure which is very strong, we see a strong opportunity to accelerate responsible bio-methanol deployment in the Southeastern US through the roll-out of our Biomethanol Blueprint. It enables us to advance biomethanol as a practical, scalable solution for the energy and material transition.”
