Perpetual Next

Perpetual Next launches a tender for the offtake of bio methanol. Today Perpetual Next has kicked off the call for offers on the biomethanol offtake from their future biomethanol facilities in the Netherlands and Estonia. Potential purchasers, as well as companies interested in participating in the biomethanol developments in Delfzijl, Moerdijk and Estonia are invited to submit their interest in participating in this tender.   Do you want to join the list of shortlisted companies? Please feel free to reach out to our Chief Project Officer or via DM and request an information package. We will except expressions of interest for participation in the tender until January 3rd.   https://lnkd.in/erNEiyap #biomethanol #methanol

We are very proud by the award we’ve received by Department for Business and Trade (DBT) in the category Sustainability. Thanks to everyone involved. We look forward to more sustainable ventures in the UK. 

Independent research results show: Perpetual Next biocarbon the linking pin in the bio methanol production chain Perpetual Next has demonstrated with external independent test results that the bio carbon it produces from organic residues has reached the optimum quality level, so that it can be used directly and on a large scale in conventional gasifiers which makes it possible to tap in to the existing global methanol production chain. This allows the chemical industry to make the transition from fossil methanol to bio methanol. Fossil methanol and bio methanol are molecularly identical, with bio methanol being the sustainable variant, produced based on organic residues. New legislation and regulations force the chemical industry to switch from methanol to bio methanol or e-methanol in phases. By transforming organic residues into valuable resources, we are addressing the challenge of raw material shortages while reducing GHG emissions. Together, we can retrieve the essential molecules from waste and put them back to use. An agreement has also been concluded for the technology used for the methanol synthesis. A Memorandum of Understanding was recently signed with Air Liquide Engineering & Construction to investigate the feasibility of a first project for the development and implementation of these technologies in the Perpetual Next blueprint. We have now four bio methanol plants in various stages of development, each with a production capacity of 220,000 tons annually.

WE ARE HIRING. Did you know that bio methanol plants don’t build themselves? I bet you did 😉. Did you also know that we have four bio methanol plants in various stages of development? So we have a lot of work to do. That is why we are looking for a project manager, a project engineer and an interface engineer. You will be part of a passionate project team that is driven by a desire to make a positive impact on the world. Our bio methanol will replace fossil-based methanol for the chemical industry. Methanol is one of the most impactful commodities in the world and a building block for many of our daily products. More information about the roles can be found here: https://lnkd.in/etxJuB6p.

How biogas is upgraded to green gas Biogas is a renewable energy source that is produced by digestion of organic waste. Biogas cannot directly replace natural gas because it often contains byproducts like carbon dioxide and water vapor, and therefore it is often used for heat and electricity production. To be used as a direct substitute for natural gas, biogas needs to be upgraded to a higher methane concentration. Several methods can upgrade biogas, including membrane technology, absorption, and cryogenic separation. Membrane technology filters out impurities, absorption removes CO₂, and cryogenic separation separates components based on their boiling points.

Did you ever wonder how green methanol is made? Green methanol is a 1-to-1 replacement of grey methanol, derived from fossil sources. Green methanol is a collective term for both e-methanol and biomethanol. Both are made in different ways. E-methanol is made by combining hydrogen with CO₂. The hydrogen is made by splitting water by means of electrolysis. Biomethanol is produced from organic residues that are converted through different processes and technologies into synthesis gas. The technology we are using as a pre-treatment is torrefaction where we convert wood residues into biocarbon. Thanks to years of research and experience we’ve managed to tailor biocarbon properties to mimic fossil coal. This enables the application of commercially available, widely proven, conventional gasification technologies to convert biocarbon into synthesis gas (syngas). The raw material for the methanol synthesis. Want to know more about how green methanol is made? Read the article on our website.

Climate change is global, so are our solutions: Bio-commodities at scale. Climate change is a borderless threat, demanding a borderless response. At Perpetual Next, we're committed to change it back by developing bio-commodity factories in six different countries. We produce biocarbon, green gas and in the future also bio methanol from organic residues. Perpetual Next takes feedstock positions in area’s with more than enough bio residues. The focus is solely on bio residues whose potential remains unexploited due to (technological) limitations in the market. Perpetual Next has (patented) technology for the pre-treatment of bio residues that is used for the conversion to bio commodities, through its own factories and blueprints. Our geographically diverse production facilities ensure a broader reach for sustainable bio-commodities like green gas and biomethanol. By operating at scale, we can significantly contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and reach our global net zero targets. Together, we can build a more sustainable future, one bio-factory at a time. #biocommodities #climatechange #globalimpact

Havenbedrijf Moerdijk N.V. en Perpetual Next bundelen krachten voor Biomethanolfabriek Vandaag hebben Havenbedrijf Moerdijk N.V. en biocommodities-producent Perpetual Next een intentieovereenkomst getekend voor de bouw van een biomethanolfabriek op Industrial Park Moerdijk. Deze fabriek, met een capaciteit van 220.000 ton, wordt vanaf medio 2025 ontwikkeld en speelt in op de groeiende vraag naar biomethanol. Port of Moerdijk versterkt hiermee zijn focus op duurzame chemie, terwijl Perpetual Next zijn positie in de regio verder uitbreidt. Samen werken we aan een groene toekomst! #Duurzaamheid #GroeneChemie #Biomethanol #PerpetualNext

Turning food waste in biogas. You might hear us ’talk’ about this quite often. But what happens with the remains of the waste when the methane and CO₂ is subtracted from it? Is that waste? It is only waste when you waste it. This remain is called ‘digestate’ and has very useful applications. The most established and conventional use of digestate in Europe is its application as organic fertilizer and soil amendment. Is has been proven to increase nutrient availability for plants, with beneficial effects on crop growth (Source: EBA). Our digestate from Moerdijk is helping grapes in vineyards grow. The agronomic value of digestate application is twofold. Digestate provides: 1. Nutrients for plant growth, ensuring crop yields. 2. Stabilized organic matter, increasing the humus content of soil and facilitating carbon sequestration. Interested to know more?

Wasted food – if it were a country – would be the third largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the world, according to UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization. Where does food go after it is wasted? The majority of food loss and waste ends up in landfills, where it produces methane. Which is a huge climate problem The global warming potential (GWP) is the heat absorbed by any greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, as a multiple of the heat that would be absorbed by the same mass of carbon dioxide (CO2). GWP is 1 for CO₂. GWP is 28 for Methane. An UNEP report estimates that food waste from households, retail and the food service industry amounts to 931m tons every year. Of this, 61% comes from households, 26% from food service and 13% from retail. A 2020 World Bank report said that reducing food loss and waste can “make a profound difference” for multiple challenges – reducing hunger, strengthening economies and protecting the environment. Perpetual Next builds, owns and operates facilities that convert food waste in green gas. Replacing natural gas of fossil origin, reducing emissions from fossil methane.
