BioMCN - Bio-Methanol, A Second Generation Biofuel

BioMCN is the largest second generation biofuels producer in the world.

With a current capacity of 250 million liters of bio-methanol per year BioMCN is already more than sufficient to fulfil the entire 2010 Dutch biofuel obligation for gasoline. Through an innovative process, bio-methanol is made from crude glycerine- a residue resulting from processing vegetable oils and animal fats. Because bio-methanol is made from a residue, its renewable energy content is entitled to be counted twice in accordance with the Renewable Energy Directive.

Bio-methanol

In comparison to regular methanol, bio-methanol reduces CO2 emissions by 78%. This makes bio-methanol ideally suited to play an important and lasting role in the transition to sustainable transportation fuels with low CO2 emissions. It can be used as a raw material for other biofuels and fuel additives (e.g. MTBE), and also as a fuel in its own right.

Second generation biofuels

BioMCN aims to expand its role as leading producer of second generation biofuels, and to promote the importance of bio-methanol as a sustainable source of energy, both in Europe as well as in other parts of the world.
