MET Development (MAIRE), Eni, and Iren Ambiente have initiated the permitting process for a cutting-edge circular methanol and hydrogen production plant at Eni's Sannazzaro de' Burgondi refinery in Italy. This collaboration showcases the strategic role of MAIRE as a technology enabler, leveraging NEXTCHEM's NX CircularTM technology. The plant, set to be developed by MAIRE in conjunction with Eni and Iren, aims to convert non-recyclable waste into valuable synthesis gas for sustainable fuel and chemical production. Utilizing NEXTCHEM's innovative technology, the plant is designed to handle around 200,000 tons per year of waste, sourced from Iren's waste management unit. The generated synthesis gas will support the production of approximately 110,000 tons of circular methanol annually. This methanol, meeting EU Renewable Energy Directive standards for Recycled Carbon Fuels, will play a crucial role in decarbonizing the maritime industry. Moreover, the plant will produce up to 1,500 tons per year of circular hydrogen, offering a sustainable alternative for refinery processes or as a green energy source for road and rail transport. Additionally, the facility aims to recover 33,000 tons per year of inert granulate, benefiting the cement industry's decarbonization efforts. By making use of the existing infrastructure at the refinery site, the project aims to optimize costs and benefit from the technical expertise available at Sannazzaro, highlighting a significant step towards sustainable energy production. The innovative circular methanol and hydrogen plant represents a positive development in green energy technology, aligning with circular economy principles and contributing to the reduction of carbon emissions in multiple industries.
