Description
Description | HyOrc Corporation and MO.RE.DA. Oils, Lda have formed a joint venture to develop a waste-to-methanol pilot plant at an existing industrial facility in Guilhabreu, Vila do Conde, Portugal. The project aims to convert processed municipal waste into synthesis gas for downstream methanol production using a 35-tonne-per-day RDF gasification system. The site already holds an industrial operating permit, allowing for an accelerated permitting process through permit amendment rather than full greenfield permitting. |
