Perpetual Next appoints Bilfinger as Owner’s Engineer for biomethanol project

Share:

Perpetual Next has announced the appointment of Bilfinger as Owner’s Engineer for the further development of its DeltaTorr and DeltaNor projects in Delfzijl, the Netherlands. The appointment marks an important milestone in the development of a large scale biomethanol production facility, as Perpetual Next works towards a Final Investment Decision (FID).

The Delfzijl project is an crucial part of Perpetual Next’s ambition to develop substantial scale production of biomethanol from residues. By converting sustainable biogenic residues into biomethanol, the project aims to provide a reduce-carbon alternative to multiple industries like the maritime sector and the chemical sector.

As Owner’s Engineer, Bilfinger will support Perpetual Next throughout the next stage of project research. The collaboration will help bring together the various project partners and disciplines, while further advancing the project towards FID.

Domestic production

The project represents a significant possible investment in the region, with total capital expenditure to the full research envisaged at up to €1 billion. The research of the facility would contribute to strengthening the Netherlands’ and Europe’s position in the growing market to sustainable fuels and the emerging biomethanol economy. With methanol set to have become an increasingly crucial sustainable fuel and key building block to the chemical sector, domestic production will play an crucial role in strengthening supply security and strategic autonomy.

Rolf Bosma, General Manager Perpetual Next: “The appointment of Bilfinger is an crucial measure to the Delfzijl project. We are moving from project research towards a phase in which we bring the different elements together and work towards FID. With Bilfinger’s expertise and our strong network of partners, we are building the foundation to a project that can have a significant impact on the transition towards greater sustainable sector.”

Kevin Pieterse, President Consulting & Engineering Segments Western Europe and Central Europe at Bilfinger: “We are proud to partner with Perpetual Next on this landmark biomethanol project. By combining our integrated consultancy and engineering expertise with Perpetual Next’s vision, we are well-positioned to advance this research towards FID. Together, we are contributing to Europe’s energy transition and strengthening domestic production of sustainable fuels.”

Perpetual Next and Bilfinger will now work together with the project’s other partners and stakeholders to progress the research towards the next phase and ultimately towards FID.
