Partnership for waste to methanol plant

HyOrc Corporation says that it has signed a project development and technology agreement with Bulgaria-based OnEnergy Group to develop a waste-to-methanol facility. Under the agreement, HyOrc will serve as the technology partner for Stage 3 of the project, which focuses on thermochemical conversion of refuse-derived fuel (RDF) into green methanol. The facility is designed to process approximately 50,000 t/a of RDF, operating around 330 days per year with a daily throughput of approximately 150-155 t/d. Expected methanol production capacity is approximately 38-42 t/d (13,200 t/a), subject to final engineering configuration.

HyOrc will lead preparation of technical components supporting the project’s progression through European industrial development pathways, including the EU Innovation Fund. The agreement relates to an advanced-stage waste-to-energy development platform in Bulgaria.

“This project marks a key step for waste-to-energy in Bulgaria. Our goal is to build a strong and scalable foundation aligned with Europe’s decarbonisation goals,” said Arch Pavleta Pelovska, CEO of OnEnergy. Reginald Fubara, CEO of HyOrc, added: “This project combines strong fundamentals with a clear pathway to execution, and we look forward to delivering a robust and scalable solution together with OnEnergy.”
