Perpetual Next and TSI Begin Production of Largest Torrefaction Reactor
- The reactor is produced in the Baltic states and is part of Perpetual Next's Biomethanol Blueprint.
- The blueprint involves an output of 220,000 tons of biomethanol per year per location.
- TSI and Perpetual Next agreed to produce eight reactors, each with 80,000 tons capacity annually.
- The carbon is converted into biomethanol for the chemical industry and shipping fuel.
Production Overview
Perpetual Next and TSI have initiated the production of the world's largest torrefaction reactor in the Baltic states. This reactor is a key component of Perpetual Next's Biomethanol Blueprint, which is operational at four locations in Europe and the United States.
Biomethanol Blueprint
The blueprint, developed with partners like Air Liquide and Fluor, aims for an output of 220,000 tons of biomethanol annually per production site. The process involves converting renewable carbon into biomethanol through gasification and methanation, serving as a raw material for the chemical industry and as fuel for shipping.
Reactor Production Agreement
In March of the previous year, TSI and Perpetual Next signed an agreement to produce eight large-scale torrefaction reactors, each with a capacity of 80,000 tons of renewable carbon per year. This agreement underscores the strategic collaboration between the two companies.
Technological Milestones
TSI previously installed a drying installation for pretreatment at Perpetual Next's Estonia site in 2020 and commissioned a torrefaction reactor at its Georgia, USA facility in May 2025. These achievements paved the way for the production of the largest torrefaction reactor globally.
