    Agreement for renewable fuels production

    Topsoe has entered into an agreement with Texas-based sustainable fuels and chemicals technology company BioVeritas to unlock advantaged feedstocks for existing infrastructure. The agreement will enable fuel producers to license Topsoe’s HydroFlex® technology alongside the Bio-Veritas Process to produce renewable fuels from second-generation feedstocks, such as woody biomass, corn stover, wheat straw, and similar waste and residual biomass. The BioVeritas Process converts second-generation feedstocks to advantaged intermediates, called KEY-Tones that can be processed by Topsoe’s HydroFlex® technology to unlock production of renewable fuels using second-generation feedstock.

    Yassir Ghiyati, Chief Commercial Officer, at Topsoe said: “Through this agreement we see a clear opportunity for HydroFlex® and the BioVeritas Process, to expand feedstock pathways that can help make more SAF and renewable fuel projects viable and support broader deployment globally.”

    Methanex to close Titan methanol plant

    Methanex says that it has been unable to agree to a new natural gas contract for its 860,000 t/a Titan methanol plant in Trinidad and Tobago, and, as a result, will begin the process of indefinitely idling the facility. Titan’s existing natural gas contract expires in the third quarter of 2026. Methanex says that it will undertake a preservation process at the Titan plant to provide options for a future restart should conditions materially improve. The neighbouring 1/7 million t/a Atlas methanol plant, a joint venture in which Methanex holds a 63.1% economic interest, remains indefinitely idled in a preserved state.
