Titan plans new bio-LNG plant

Importer
Titan is planning to build a 200,000 tonne/year bio-LNG liquefaction plant focused on the maritime market at the Port of Amsterdam.

The new plant will be built next to the Titan bunker pontoon in the Amerikahaven.

Linde Engineering is conducting the basic engineering for the plant which is expected to produce 200,000 tons of bio-LNG per year. First production is expected in 2025.

The fuel is primarily intended for shipping, and with it, the consortium aims to contribute to the European Commission’s 55% CO2 reduction target.

The plant will produce liquid biomethane from organic waste and residual streams. The waste will be converted to biogas on-site by supplier BioValue, although some will come from other European biogas production facilities connected to the existing gas grid.

Roon van Maanen, Director Energy & Circular Industry at Port of Amsterdam, said: “Having the energy transition, circular economy and clean shipping at the core of our sustainability strategy, Port of Amsterdam welcomes the novel renewable fuel plant with full support. We want to reduce emissions in our port area and lead the way in the transition to a sustainable society. This plant, with its hydrogen-ready design, is a perfect example that fits seamlessly with our long-term strategy for the port.’’
