EemsGas begins FEED for Delfzijl green gas plant
- Technip Energies has been commissioned to carry out the Front‑End Engineering Design (FEED) for the Delfzijl green gas plant.
- The facility targets circa 18 million cubic metres of green gas per year produced from demolition wood, with first production planned in 2029.
- EemsGas is a 50/50 joint venture of Perpetual Next and Gasunie; the project is budgeted at about €100 million.
- TNO will supply the gasification technology; the gas is intended for delivery via the existing network and the FID is planned for 2027.
Project scope and timetable
EemsGas has appointed Technip Energies to execute the FEED phase for a planned green gas plant at Chemiepark Delfzijl. The FEED will refine design, cost estimates and technical feasibility and feed into a final investment decision planned for 2027. Subject to a positive decision, construction would follow with first production expected in 2029.
Capacity, feedstock and infrastructure
The plant is designed to produce approximately 18 million cubic metres of green gas per year using demolition wood as feedstock. The produced gas is intended to be injected into the existing gas infrastructure for delivery to households and businesses, replacing fossil natural gas.
Partners and financing
EemsGas is a joint venture owned 50/50 by Perpetual Next and Gasunie and plans an investment of roughly €100 million. TNO will supply the gasification technology, while Technip Energies will develop the technical design during FEED.
Policy context
The development aligns with Dutch plans to scale up green gas production; the House of Representatives approved a green gas blending obligation on 6 October 2026, which still requires Senate approval.
