Perpetual Next and Lhyfe Delfzijl have teamed up to explore a potential long-term supply of renewable hydrogen for a planned biomethanol facility in Delfzijl, the Netherlands.<\/p>\n
The agreement covers the potential integration of hydrogen from Lhyfe\u2019s planned 120 MW renewable hydrogen project with Perpetual Next\u2019s DeltaNor biomethanol plant, which is being developed in the same industrial cluster.<\/p>\n
\u201cAccess to competitively priced renewable hydrogen will be an important consideration in the continued development of DeltaNor,\u201d said Ren\u00e9 Buwalda, chief executive of Perpetual Next.<\/p>\n
The companies will evaluate the potential supply of up to approximately 12,000 tonnes of renewable hydrogen per year. Any agreement would remain subject to further technical and commercial assessment.<\/p>\n
Renewable hydrogen could be used to supplement hydrogen naturally present in biomass-derived syngas. According to the companies, this could allow a greater proportion of biogenic carbon to be converted into biomethanol, increasing production yields.<\/p>\n
DeltaNor is planned as a 220,000-tonne-per-year biomethanol production facility. Perpetual Next is developing five biomethanol projects at various stages, with DeltaNor located within a major industrial and chemical cluster in Delfzijl.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis MoU gives both companies a structured framework to evaluate how locally produced renewable hydrogen could support our biomethanol facility while strengthening the development case for both projects,\u201d Buwalda said.<\/p>\n
Lhyfe currently has four renewable hydrogen production sites installed in Europe and expects that number to reach six by the end of the year. The company is also developing larger projects, including its planned Delfzijl facility.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis agreement reflects the strong industrial complementarity between our renewable hydrogen project in Delfzijl and Perpetual Next\u2019s biomethanol development,\u201d said Luc Grar\u00e9, chief strategy officer at Lhyfe.<\/p>\n
Delfzijl is already a significant hydrogen-consuming industrial hub, particularly for chemical production. Demand for renewable hydrogen is expected to increase as industries face tighter decarbonisation requirements, including targets under the revised Renewable Energy Directive.<\/p>\n
The partners will now continue technical and commercial discussions, including assessment of potential hydrogen supply arrangements and the public support mechanisms needed to advance both projects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
