Do you work with chemical processes? And do you rely on raw materials that are carbon-dense? We can enable you to become circular and fossil free.
In the transition from traditional emission-intensive production to Net Zero, important decisions need to be made. We understand the complexity of assessing the options to accelerate your roadmap to Net Zero. Introducing renewable carbon to your process can represent a key element on your roadmap to fossil free chemical processes.
Our renewable carbon products are developed and produced from biologic low-grade waste streams, such as demolition wood and forestry and agricultural residues. Wood and residues that can no longer be used for any other purpose.
The BM2C6 project in which we participated, works on developing a new value chain from biomass to C6 monomers. By means of the BM2C6 project we helped to create an unprecedented value chain starting from carbonised biomass (biocarbon) up to C6 monomers.
The road from biomass to C6 monomers has many different process steps. This includes application testing of all products and co-products. It all starts with levulinic acid (LA), produced from woody biomass. Levulinic acid is recognised as a major stepping stone to ‘green’ a wide range of down-stream solutions. Moreover, its high carbon yield and energy yield ensures excellent sustainability and process economics.
Perpetual Next produces syngas (green gas) by carbonising and gasifying, bio residual flows. Green gas is a CO2-neutral gas. Green gas can be supplied to chemical companies as a source for biobased chemicals.
The chemical industry is seeking alternatives for fossil-based products to achieve the climate targets. InSciTe contributes to the development of products and intermediates with a reduced environmental footprint both in commodity and specialty applications.
Example of a Perpetual Carbon project
All process steps will be demonstrated on pilot scale. This project is expected to show both ecologix and economic benefits for the entire value chain. This will showcase the wide range of opportunities to industrial partners. And we invite them to step in and differentiate themselves in sustainable activities.
We seek to understand your process and your challenges. Thanks to our dedicated R&D specialist team we continuously push the boundaries of product development, that we test on industrial scale. We provide new solutions in the form of renewable carbon products and renewable carbon technologies for different production processes.
Carbonisation and gasification enable the production of a highly homogeneous carbon product constant quality, which is used as raw material for chemical processes, like bio-refinery, further gasification and pyrolysis.
Organic residues to biocoal
In Vägari, Estonia, a biocoal plant based on Perpetual Next's C-Vertr V technology has been under construction since 2020. A total of eight to ten reactors will be installed in the plant, capable of producing 120 kilotons of biocoal per year.
Organic residues, B-wood & SRF to biocarbon
In Dilsen-Stokkem, Belgium, a biocoal plant based on Perpetual Next's C-Vertr R technology has been in operation since 2010. This site has a design capacity of 27,700 t/y of biocoal output.

At Perpetual Next, we continue to analyse different types of feedstocks, options from different feedstock baskets, with different properties. All feedstocks have their advantages, it all depends on which bias you look at an opportunity. This document is the shortlist of feedstocks we have looked at so far in more detail.

How Perpetual Next leads the emerging carbon removal industry
Greenhouse gas emissions are caused by human action and also by nature itself. It is mainly the exhaust gases from the combustion of fossil fuels that pollute the atmosphere with carbon that was previously stored in...
