Future of biofuels
The company’s first plant, Advanced Methanol Amsterdam (AMA), will produce an average of 87.5 kilotons per annum (KTA) of renewable methanol from 175 KTA of local non-recyclable waste.
AMA includes a testing facility, knowledge centre, and full plant producing advanced methanol that meets the European biofuel mandate as well as Dutch legislation.
The facility uses non-recyclable waste to produce advanced methanol for biofuel blending. Side streams such as green CO2 and solid residues are used for greenhouses and cement filling, respectively. AMA will be working in close cooperation with local partners and several universities.
The plant is expected to be fully operational in 2024, with objectives to contribute to better fuels and a circular economy.
