Técnicas Reunidas awarded contract for methanol biorefinery project in Amsterdam


Type of post: NEWS.

Técnicas Reunidas has signed a contract with G.I. Dynamics BV (GID) for a new biomethanol plant project in Amsterdam. The "Advanced Methanol Amsterdam" Project seeks to replace fossil fuels with biomethanol produced from non-recyclable waste and biomass.

The contract includes the execution of the detailed engineering and the investment estimation in the form of "open book" (FEED-OBE). With an estimated investment of more than euro 200 M€, the future plant will have the capacity to produce 260 tons per day of biomethanol and will consist of high-temperature gasification, acid gas recovery and methanol units.

Biomethanol will be obtained from the gasification of wood waste and Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF), for its subsequent blending with gasoline, thus substantially reducing the environmental impact of the fuel. The plant will be the first in a strategy to contribute to transport decarbonization through the use of waste and biomass recovery, replicating this project throughout the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and other European countries.
