Perpetual Next hires GLS for U.S. biomethanol site selection
- Perpetual Next engaged GLS to assess U.S. candidate sites for biomethanol and torrefaction projects.
- GLS will produce a final site-selection report covering technical, commercial, permitting, infrastructure, logistics, utilities, stakeholder factors, principal risks and mitigation.
- Scope includes comparative assessment of identified sites, a wider feedstock market survey across southern U.S. states, and a selected site in Georgia.
- Perpetual Next aims to advance three U.S. developments in 2026, evaluating stand-alone and integrated torrefaction and biomethanol configurations.
Engagement
Perpetual Next has engaged Global Location Strategies (GLS) to support the next phase of its U.S. development strategy for biomethanol and torrefaction projects; GLS will assess candidate locations to inform decision-making.
Scope of work
Assessment includes a comparative review of identified sites, a selected site in Georgia, and a broader feedstock market survey across southern U.S. states; multiple development concepts will be evaluated—stand-alone torrefaction, stand-alone biomethanol, and integrated facilities—depending on site-specific advantages and constraints.
Deliverables
GLS will produce a final site-selection report covering technical, commercial, permitting, infrastructure, logistics, utilities, stakeholder factors, principal risks, mitigation measures, and recommended next actions with the rationale for preferred sites.
Timeline and strategic rationale
The work is intended to sharpen project prioritization as Perpetual Next aims to advance three U.S. developments in 2026, citing U.S. feedstock availability, industrial infrastructure and potential for scalable deployment.
