The bio_LNG plant can be positioned adjoining to Titan’s berth within the Port of Amsterdam, from which the land can be leased.
Bio-LNG (or liquefied biomethane) is extensively seen as key to “extending the runway” for current LNG-fueled tonnage to satisfy tightening GHG-reduction targets. To assist meet the rising demand for the gas, Amsterdam-headquartered Titan (previously Titan LNG) is to construct the world’s largest liquefied biomethane (LBM) manufacturing plant.
Titan will construct and function the plant, able to producing 200,000 tonnes of LBM yearly, at its strategic location within the Port of Amsterdam, permitting it to provide ships and vehicles.
BioWorth, one of many largest biogas suppliers within the Netherlands, will provide a major a part of the biogas required for LBM manufacturing.
For this, BioWorth will assemble a new biogas plant, adjoining to the LBM plant, with a processing capability beginning at 300,000 tons of natural waste per 12 months.
The remaining biogas can be sourced from different manufacturing installations all through Europe which might be linked to the prevailing gasoline grid.
Titan says this hybrid sourcing setup allows the dimensions required for impactful decarbonization of the marine business.
Titan has chosen Linde Engineering to carry out the engineering primarily based on Linde’s proprietary liquefaction expertise.
The bulk of the LBM volumes produced by the plant can be provided to LBM-powered vessels. The remaining volumes can be obtainable for truck refueling stations and industrial prospects.
The LBM will substitute for fossil fuels, avoiding about one million tonnes of CO2 equal emissions per 12 months, equal to the annual emissions of about 25% of all diesel automobiles within the Netherlands.
The plant can be positioned adjoining to Titan’s berth within the Port of Amsterdam, from which the land can be leased. The first LBM manufacturing is predicted in 2025.
Producing LBM in essentially the most sustainable means is a key undertaking goal. Importantly, biogas will solely be sourced from sustainable feedstocks which might be compliant with the most recent EU Renewable Energy Directive and which might be International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) licensed.
Other sustainability options built-in within the plant embrace the seize and utilization of the biogenic CO2 aspect stream, this may allow future manufacturing of e-methane by combining the biogenic CO2 with inexperienced hydrogen.
For this, a connection to the hydrogen spine deliberate within the Port of Amsterdam is envisaged.
Roon van Maanen, director vitality & round business on the Port of Amsterdam, mentioned: “Having the vitality transition, round economic system and clear delivery on the core of our sustainability technique, Port of Amsterdam welcomes the novel renewable gas plant with full help. We wish to cut back emissions in our port space and cleared the path within the transition to a sustainable society. This plant, with its hydrogen-ready design, is an ideal instance that matches seamlessly with our long-term technique for the port.
