Perpetual Next and Lhyfe sign MoU to explore renewable hydrogen supply for DeltaNor biomethanol in Delfzijl
- Perpetual Next and Lhyfe signed a Memorandum of Understanding to explore long-term renewable hydrogen supply for DeltaNor.
- The partners aim for a potential supply of up to approximately 12,000 tonnes of renewable hydrogen per year.
- DeltaNor is planned as a 220,000 tonne-per-year biomethanol production facility in the Delfzijl industrial cluster.
- Lhyfe is developing a major Delfzijl renewable hydrogen project, including a 120 MW installation, as it scales up production capacity.
Scope of the MoU
Perpetual Next and Lhyfe Delfzijl have entered a Memorandum of Understanding to evaluate the potential long-term supply of renewable hydrogen from Lhyfe’s planned DelfzHyl production facility to Perpetual Next’s DeltaNor biomethanol plant in Delfzijl.
Supply potential and technical purpose
The partners target a potential hydrogen supply of up to approximately 12,000 tonnes per year. Renewable hydrogen would supplement hydrogen in biomass-derived syngas to convert more biogenic carbon into biomethanol, improving yields and supporting decarbonisation of hard-to-electrify sectors such as maritime and chemicals.
Project context and next steps
DeltaNor is planned as a 220,000 tonne-per-year biomethanol facility located within the Delfzijl chemical cluster, an area already a large user of hydrogen. Lhyfe is developing large-scale onsite projects in the Netherlands, including a 120 MW project in Delfzijl. Any supply arrangement remains subject to further technical and commercial evaluation; the parties will continue technical and commercial discussions and assess supporting measures including public support schemes.
