EemsGas awards FEED to Technip Energies for Delfzijl green gas plant
- Technip Energies contracted to deliver the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) for the Delfzijl plant.
- Target output is approximately 18 million cubic metres of green gas per year, produced from waste wood starting in 2029.
- Final investment decision planned for 2027; the project has an estimated investment of about €100 million.
- EemsGas is a 50/50 joint venture of Perpetual Next and Gasunie; TNO supplies the gasification technology.
FEED award
EemsGas has contracted Technip Energies to develop the engineering design of a planned green gas plant at Chemiepark Delfzijl. The FEED phase will define plant design, costs and technical feasibility and provide input for the final investment decision.
Schedule and investment
The partners plan a final investment decision in 2027. Following a positive decision, construction can start with first production expected in 2029. The project’s planned investment is approximately €100 million.
Output and feedstock
The plant is expected to produce about 18 million cubic metres of green gas annually by gasifying waste wood. The produced gas can be supplied to households and businesses via the existing gas infrastructure, replacing fossil natural gas.
Ownership, technology and policy
EemsGas is a joint venture between Perpetual Next and Gasunie (each 50%). TNO is providing the gasification technology. The development aligns with a Dutch bill approved by the House of Representatives on 6 October 2026 that would introduce a mandatory green gas blending obligation; the bill still requires Senate consideration.
