The company Perpetual Next has chosen JPB Logistics as its main partner for storing and distributing the biomethanol it will produce in a new plant it is building in Farmsum, in the Netherlands.
A key agreement for the Delfzijl project
The construction of the plant will be carried out through its subsidiary DeltaNor BV and will produce220,000 tons per year of biomethanol.
The biometanol is a sustainable fuel obtained from organic waste and serves as an environmentally friendly alternative to fossil-based methanol. It is used in the chemical, plastics, and paint industries, and as a zero-emission marine and land-based fuel.
What exactly will JPB Logistics do?
JPB will be responsible for storing the biomethanol in tanks of between 21,000 and 35,000 m³ for handling and subsequent deliver it from the plant to external customers. Transportation will be done primarily by pipeline and barges (canals/rivers), with trucks as an alternative.
Why is it important?
This move will accelerate the plant’s progress towards its final construction and reflects the commitment to the circular economy and carbon reduction, transforming waste into valuable products.
However, the agreement is still subject to Perpetual Next’s final investment decision, the successful execution of the project, and both parties agreeing to the final commercial terms.
