KEY PROJECT
PORTLAND RENEWABLE FUELS
A cutting edge facility in Portland, Victoria, converting residual biomass and renewable electricity into low carbon methanol, a sustainable fuel alternative.
320,000
tonnes of CO2 avoided per year
300,000
tonnes of green methanol produced per year
3.5mill
enough to decarbonise 3.5 million trips from Sydney to Melbourne
ABOUT THE PROJECT
HAMR Energy’s flagship project, the Portland Renewable Fuels project, is a world scale renewable methanol development in the Portland region, with a target capacity of over 300ktpa.
Located in Portland, Victoria, the plant will be strategically located in the Green Triangle, Australia’s largest plantation forestry region. The innovative renewable fuels project utilises residual forestry biomass and renewable electricity to produce green methanol. Leveraging locally sourced biomass and nearby onshore wind resources, the project aims to create a sustainable, low carbon methanol. The methanol can be transported to local and international customers via the Port of Portland or via road and rail.
World class technology partnership
HAMR Energy and thyssenkrupp Uhde have entered into an agreement to use Uhde’s Biomass to Methanol technology.
