- The plant will produce 37,000 tonnes of e-methanol annually from 7,200 tonnes of renewable hydrogen and 54,000 tonnes of CO2.
- Commercial operations are expected to start in 2026.
- The plant aims to expand production to 300,000 tonnes per year by 2030.
- The project has received the IDAE's 'Pioneers 3 Plan' subsidy.
Project Overview
CETAER has partnered with Técnicas Reunidas to develop an e-methanol plant in Almería, Spain. The facility will produce 37,000 tonnes of e-methanol annually by combining 7,200 tonnes of renewable hydrogen with 54,000 tonnes of CO2 captured from industrial processes. The plant is expected to commence commercial operations in 2026.
Development Stages
The project, named “Nascar,” will proceed in multiple stages. The initial stage involves a configuration study, preparation of technical documentation for permits, and a feasibility analysis. Subsequent stages will cover Front-end Engineering Design (FEED) and Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) services.
Future Expansion
Due to the anticipated growth in demand for e-methanol as an alternative energy resource in the transport sector, the plant plans to expand its production capacity to 300,000 tonnes per year by 2030.
Recognition and Support
The project has been awarded the IDAE’s “Pioneers 3 Plan” subsidy, recognizing its potential as a large-scale industrial solution for the production of renewable hydrogen.
