What Perpetual Next does

Perpetual Next B.V., headquartered in Amsterdam and founded in 2019, is an industrial renewable-carbon producer that converts organic waste streams (wood residues, demolition wood, food waste, agricultural residues) into biocommodities including biomethanol, biomethane/green gas, biocoal (marketed as Perpetual Carbon), biochar, and renewable heat for district networks. The company owns and operates a network of production facilities in the Netherlands (Moerdijk, Delfzijl, Lelystad), Belgium (Dilsen-Stokkem), the United Kingdom (Ellesmere Port, completed November 2021), and Estonia (Baltania, industrial-scale since 2020), with three additional biomethanol facilities in development in the southeastern United States. The core technology platform is the proprietary C-Vertr carbonisation process — an indirect-heated rotating drum reactor operating at 270–450°C in an oxygen-deficient environment — integrated with entrained-flow gasification and methanol synthesis in what the company calls the Biomethanol Blueprint (co-developed with Air Liquide and Fluor). Each planned biomethanol facility targets 220,000 tonnes per year, with eight TSI-supplied torrefaction reactors of 80,000 tonnes per year each intended to be operational by 2028.

The company's revenue model is direct B2B sales of biocommodities under negotiated enterprise contracts with industrial customers across the chemical, shipping, steel, cement, packaging, construction, and energy-utility sectors, supplemented by a maritime offtake channel via preferred broker Clarksons and grid injection partnerships for green gas. End-customers named in the data include Vattenfall, Ennatuurlijk, and Green Solutions (district heating offtake at Lelystad), VPK (packaging manufacturer using biocoal from Dilsen-Stokkem), and indirectly shipping companies reached through Clarksons. The company is majority-owned by Amsterdam-based Momentum Global Ventures (50%+ stake), which has committed €200 million via Series B funding, and is 50% partner with state-owned Gasunie in the EemsGas joint venture (also supported by €30 million DEI+ and €149.8 million SDE++ subsidies). Following the 2025 divestiture of OMR Moerdijk to CVC DIF and the December 2025 early redemption of €35 million of bonds, Perpetual Next entered 2026 debt-free with minimal external financing, with core capital focused on the Biomethanol Blueprint scale-up and US market entry.

Revenue model

1. Biomethanol Sales: Sale of biomethanol as a direct replacement for fossil (grey) methanol. Biomethanol serves as a raw material for chemicals, plastics, and coatings, and as a low-emission fuel for shipping and road transport. Target production: 440,000 tonnes per year by 2028 across facilities in the Netherlands, Estonia, and the US.
2. Biomethane/Green Gas Sales: Sale of biomethane (green gas) produced via gasification and anaerobic digestion. Green gas has the same composition as natural gas and can be injected directly into existing natural gas networks. EemsGas joint venture targets 18 million cubic meters of green gas per year. Perpetual Next Ellesmere Port produces 4 million m³ biogas per year.
3. Biocoal (Perpetual Carbon) Sales: Sale of biocoal (Perpetual Carbon) as a drop-in replacement for fossil coal. Used in blast furnace PCI (Pulverized Coal Injection), sintering processes, EAF steelmaking, cement, and construction. Products include PCN210S pellets, PCN230S powder, and PCN250S powder. Baltania plant capacity: 160 kilotons biocoal per year.
4. Renewable Heat and Power Sales: Sale of renewable heat generated from biomass combustion. Perpetual Next Lelystad supplies heat to district heating networks serving Vattenfall, Ennatuurlijk, and Green Solutions, providing warmth to 5,500 households and six office buildings, displacing approximately 7.5 million Nm³ of fossil natural gas annually.
5. Biochar Sales: Sale of biochar as a soil improver and carbon removal product. Biochar consists of 70–90% pure and stable carbon, sequestering carbon that would otherwise be released into the air. Applications include soil conditioning, cattle feed additive, concrete additive, carpet backing, and horticultural/agricultural applications.
