Glocal Green and Norwegian Hydrogen team up on large-scale bio-e-methanol production

In Norway, Glocal Green and Norwegian Hydrogen have entered into a collaboration agreement on large-scale production of what is also known as bio-e-methanol. While Glocal Green is focusing on the possibilities within bio-methanol as its contribution to the green shift, Norwegian Hydrogen is a company that is producing and building an infrastructure for green hydrogen. The two companies have now come together and identified a very exciting collaboration project.

Glocal Green will produce bio-methanol based on biological waste and residual industrial raw materials that can also be used as fuel for internal combustion engines, and as a hydrogen carrier for fuel cells. According to Dag Nikolai Ryste, CEO of Glocal Green, this is a value chain that can become 100% circular, and the company is now planning production on a large scale.

The size of the facilities may vary, but Glocal Green believes that the optimal size is about 100,000 metric tons of annual production per facility. This corresponds to a raw material requirement per facility of approx. 80,000 tons of biomass and up to approx. 10,000 tons of green hydrogen. The combination allows every energy substance in the biomass to be utilized and transited in a very efficient way.
