Construction new plant

Building the new plant

March 2008 saw the successful start-up of the pilot plant, producing 20.000 tonnes of bio-methanol per year. Construction of the first large production unit of 200.000 tonnes per annum is almost finished and already saw its successful startup on June 26, 2009. The new plant enables BioMCN to purify and evaporate crude glycerine, thus making it possible to produce bio-syngas for making bio-methanol. The next step is to fully convert both existing production lines from natural gas to biogas. The transition will be performed in stages over the coming years, in steps of 200.000 tonnes capacity at a time.
