The company will convert biological residues from forestry, sawmills and aquaculture into green bio-e-methanol through gasification and methanol synthesis – combined with green hydrogen from on-site electrolysis. The planned facility in Øyer will be Norway's first biomethanol plant, with a capacity of up to 150,000 tonnes of bio-e-methanol per year. In a second phase, the plant will also include large-scale hydrogen production. The company is targeting ISCC certification and documents emissions using ISO-compatible life cycle assessments. GHG intensity is 6–9 g CO₂e per MJ – well below conventional biofuels. Glocal Green is seeking partners that can have complementary competences across our entire value chain from biological residues collection, pre-processing, gasification, synthesis, outbound logistics, bunkering tech and use cases. Digital solutions to optimize performance is also of interest for us.
Before becoming being central in the development of Glocal Green for the last 5 years, I have 20 years experience with renewable energy production, maritime electrical engineering, and the last 15 years with hydrogen technology development.
Collection, sorting, pre-processing and logistics of biological residues from local sources in Innlandet and adjacent regions – forestry, timber industry, sawmills, agricultural waste, and potentially sludge from fish farming and other marine residues.
Gasification & processing technology adapted to varied biological feedstock (forestry, timber industry, sawmills, agricultural waste, and potentially sludge from fish farming and other marine residues) - and digital solutions for optimisation of processes
