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 near the Green Triangle, Australia largest forestry region. The innovative renewable fuels project utilises 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.
