The plant is expected to produce around 240,000 mt/year of biomethanol through a process called gasification, using approximately 400,000 mt/year of municipal organic waste as feedstock.

Plant operations are expected to begin in 2029.

The biomethanol will be supplied to the shipping industry, among other sectors, Repsol said.
