Feedstock supply
We structure supply arrangements with waste operators, agricultural processors and forestry-sector partners, aligning available resources with plant requirements.
About
Integrated technology.
Industrial delivery.
Biorefic develops methanol production projects around the resources available in each location.
Our approach combines the co-processing of unrecyclable waste with agricultural and forestry residues. We adapt feedstock preparation and process integration to local conditions, connecting regional resource streams with markets for fuels and chemicals.
Technology adapted to local resources
We integrate feedstock preparation, gasification and gas conditioning with methanol synthesis and distillation.
The process configuration reflects the composition and availability of local feedstocks. This flexibility allows us to assess different resource combinations and develop projects suited to their location.
Biogenic inputs support renewable methanol production. Suitable fossil-derived waste fractions provide a route to circular methanol for chemical applications.
Project development built around bankability
We develop the technical and commercial foundations of each project together.
Product offtake
We develop long-term routes to market with methanol buyers in shipping, fuel supply and the chemical industry.
Engineering and delivery
We work with leading engineering and technology partners to define plant design, execution responsibilities and performance requirements.
Risk management and insurability
We incorporate independent assessments and insurance planning into project development, addressing the risks that matter to lenders, investors and operating partners.
A repeatable development model
Biorefic originates projects, assembles commercial partnerships and coordinates technology integration through successive stages of development.
Our business model combines participation in production assets with technology licensing and engineering and optimisation services. Knowledge gained across the project portfolio informs subsequent plant designs and operating improvements.
