Joint Venture with Gasunie
Eemsgas, a 50%-50% joint venture with Gasunie, is in development. The joint venture focuses on the production and distribution of green gas. Instead of fossil raw materials, green gas is produced on the basis of natural raw materials, such as low-grade organic waste and residual flows.
In the Eemsgas project, Perpetual Next will build a 30 megawatt carbonisation, gasification and gas upgrading plant for the production of green gas at Chemie Park Delfzijl, part of Chemport Europe. Gasunie will take care of the distribution of the green gas, both to the neighboring chemical companies and to the national network.
Landscaping and garden waste to heat
Our facility Perpetual Next Lelystad generates heat from landscaping and garden waste in the immediate vicinity of Lelystad. No higher-grade product can be made from this waste. Perpetual Next Lelystad is a supplier for Vattenfall and Ennatuurlijk. The heat system, with a capacity of 15 MWth, serves 5,500 household equivalents and six government buildings. This saves about 7.5 million Nm3 of fossil natural gas. In the future, even more households will be connected to the Lelystad heat network.
Residual streams to animal feed
At our production facility Perpetual Next Duiven, we upgrade organic, regional residual streams to a sustainable raw material for animal feed. Potato and carrot steam peels from the food industry enter the plant in liquid form. A special drying technique removes the moisture and what remains is starch in powder form that is sold to animal feed producers, who use it as a basis for their products.
Food waste to biogas
Perpetual Next Moerdijk is a recycling plant that allows us to upgrade food waste (such as products past their expiration date and kitchen waste) to biogas and (raw) materials. The plant has been built up in steps and continuously renewed since 2000 and has a robust group of suppliers and customers. The objective is to upgrade biogas to green gas to replace fossil natural gas in the near future, in addition to upgrading organic residual and/or waste streams.
Green gas from agricultural residues
Perpetual Next Ellesmere Port is completed in November 2021. The facility consists of an organic waste digester that produces 4 million m3 biogas per year from agricultural residues. The biogas is upgraded to green gas, a sustainable alternative to fossil natural gas, which is injected directly into Ellesmere Port's natural gas grid. The residual product from the biogas production (digestate), is used to make agricultural land more fertile.
