A 200,000 metric ton per year waste-to-methanol production facility that would include a waste processing and treatment facility, a biorefinery, and an electrolyzer for green hydrogen production.

The project would source approximately 320,000 MTPA of regional biomass that would be stored, treated, and dried. The treated biogenic waste would be fed to a gasifier, which would produce syngas. The syngas would be treated to remove impurities and combined with hydrogen supplied from the electrolyzer. The end syngas product would be reacted and distilled to produce bio-methanol. The electrolyzer is expected to have a capacity of up to 200 MW and would require a supply of renewable power.

The project would be co-located in the Pampa Energy Center, where Proman’s existing methanol production facility currently operates.

100,000 – 150,000 tonnes per year of green methanol will supply A.P. Moller – Maersk’s fleet.
