Uhde Initiates Biomass-to-Methanol Project in Canada with Nova Sustainable Fuels
Uhde has started a pre-FEED study for a biomass-to-methanol project in Canada, targeting production of over 450,000 tons of methanol per year from sustainable biomass. This project combines Uhde's solid biomass gasification technology with its methanol synthesis process.
Nova Sustainable Fuels aims to validate the integration of these technologies and the project's bankability. The initiative focuses on producing low-carbon fuels, specifically sustainable aviation fuel and renewable methanol, which will support decarbonization efforts in the transport sector. Construction is planned to commence in 2028, with operations beginning in 2031 after obtaining necessary permits.
