Perpetual Next and PreZero Netherlands join forces

Global demand for biomethanol is growing rapidly. Research by Intelmarket Research (May 2025) forecasts a compound annual growth rate of approximately 44.5 percent between 2025 and 2032.

Perpetual Next has developed a standardized concept for biomethanol production, based on proven industrial technologies in which biomass such as waste wood is given a new purpose as raw material.

This blueprint makes it possible to replicate the concept and roll it out at scale.

A reliable supply of raw materials is crucial for stable production and predictable output in our factories. This makes PreZero an excellent partner. They supply not only the volumes, but also the quality that we need, said Jurre Hijman, CCO at Perpetual Next.

Perpetual Next is a shareholder in EemsGas in the Netherlands, which focuses on converting waste wood into sustainable biomethane for the Dutch gas grid.

At PreZero, we ensure that as many raw materials as possible remain in the loop. Low-grade waste wood currently often has a low-grade destination. By utilizing this stream for the production of biomethanol and biomethane, we preserve the value of the raw material and make the industry more sustainable, said Ruud Langenhuijsen, Product Manager Value Chain Wood at PreZero Netherlands.
