🌲𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗳 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝘂𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗲𝗹𝘀? As industries seek viable pathways to decarbonize maritime transport and aviation, biomass is emerging as a powerful resource capable of producing low-carbon fuels while creating value from materials that would otherwise go unused. This is the vision behind 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗻𝗯𝗶𝗿𝗱, a next-generation biomass-to-methanol complex planned in Finland and developed by Flying Forest. CASALE has been selected as 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿 to perform the 𝗣𝗿𝗲-𝗙𝗘𝗘𝗗, bringing together biomass conversion, renewable hydrogen production, carbon management, and sustainable methanol synthesis into a fully integrated low-carbon value chain. The project will combine best-in-class technologies, including biomass gasification technology from Sumitomo SHI FW. Once operational, the plant is expected to produce: ✔ 180,000 tonnes/year of 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝗼-𝗲-𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗼𝗹 ✔ From 210,000 tonnes/year of 𝗻𝗼𝗻-𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗯𝗶𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘀 ✔ Integrated with 17,000 tonnes/year of 𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗵𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻 In a second phase, the complex will also produce 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗔𝘃𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗙𝘂𝗲𝗹 (𝗦𝗔𝗙), further supporting the decarbonization of hard-to-abate sectors. 🌍 Projects like Loonbird demonstrate how process integration, renewable energy and circular economy principles can work together to transform local resources into scalable, low-carbon energy solutions. At CASALE, we believe projects like Loonbird can unlock new pathways towards sustainable fuel production at industrial scale. By combining our expertise in methanol, hydrogen and advanced process integration, we are proud to help transform this vision into reality. 🔗 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eD6Ctj9T #Methanol #eMethanol #BioMethanol #SustainableFuels #RenewableHydrogen #EnergyTransition #Decarbonization #SAF #CircularEconomy #Casale
