Perpetual Next selects Bilfinger for Methanol Moerdijk project permitting

The project aims to convert approximately 313,000 tonnes of biocarbon into around 216,000 tonnes of biomethanol annually. "The project is intended to support the transition to sustainable fuels and chemicals infrastructure in the Netherlands and Europe." "The Methanol Moerdijk project is being developed as a large-scale biomethanol facility intended to convert approximately 313,000 tonnes of biocarbon into around 216,000 tonnes of biomethanol annually, thus supporting the defossilisation of industry and shipping by replacing fossil-derived methanol." "The agreed scope focuses on sprints 1 through 6 of the permitting process, and includes kick-off, EIA start notification, preparation of general EIA sections, description of the proposed activities and alternatives, environmental impact studies, completion of the final EIA and public summary, and preparation of the environmental and nature permit applications." "Construction permit support may be added separately at a later stage if required." "Bilfinger’s approach also includes stakeholder analysis, early engagement with competent authorities, nitrogen deposition assessment at an early stage, and a range of environmental sub-studies covering air quality, odor, noise, water, external safety, BAT assessment, sustainability, and ecology."
