Avantium N.V. has started construction of a new demonstration plant that will help advance the production of bio-based mono-ethylene glycol (MEG) made directly from renewable sugars.

BioMCN announced an estimated €100 million investment to refurbish the second methanol production line, located at Chemical Park Delfzijl.

The investment makes it possible to inject green CO2, which is released in the production of biogas, into the reactor at BioMCN. The investment project thus leads to a production capacity of 15,000 tons of bio-methanol and additional employment.

Avantium announces a partnership with AkzoNobel, Chemport Europe, RWE and Staatsbosbeheer for the development of a reference plant at the Chemie Park Delfzijl. This important step marks the next stage of a collaborative effort to determine the feasibility of a wood to chemicals biorefinery in Delfzijl.
