What Reolum does
Reolum is a Spanish renewable energy project developer founded in 2019 and headquartered in Madrid that builds integrated industrial facilities combining biomass cogeneration, biogenic CO2 capture, green hydrogen electrolysis, and green e-methanol synthesis. The company is currently developing three flagship projects in Castile and León, Spain — La Robla Green (€850M, under construction, 140,000 t/year e-methanol), Villadangos Green (€500M, 140,000 t/year), and Monfarracinos Green (€700M, 140,000 t/year) — targeting combined output of 420,000 t/year of green e-methanol before 2030, scaling to 1 MT by 2035. At the technological core, Reolum has completed FEED for the only European project integrating CO2 capture, hydrogen, and e-Methanol, leveraging Johnson Matthey's eMERALD process, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' CO2 capture technology, and a 35-37 km dual pipeline connecting La Robla and Villadangos with 12 tonnes of hydrogen storage capacity.
The business model is multi-stream: Reolum sells e-Methanol to industrial offtakers (a German industrial manufacturer has pre-purchased a large portion of La Robla Green output), renewable electricity under a 20-year auction tariff at €106.25/MWh awarded by MITECO in 2022, and RFNBO certificates to fuel suppliers under Spain's RED III transport quotas. Distribution relies on direct B2B contracts, rail transport to the Port of El Musel (Gijón) and Bilbao for maritime export, and the Spanish electricity grid for biomass power. Revenue is anchored by long-duration offtake contracts and concessional financing — including a €179.9M European Hydrogen Valleys grant (highest-rated among 27 submissions), €425M expected EIB financing, and €87-180M in Next Generation EU subsidies — alongside industry-leading EPC and technology partners (Técnicas Reunidas, Siemens Energy, DP CleanTech, Johnson Matthey, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries). Customers span industrial manufacturers, maritime shipping companies (where 70+ vessels already run on methanol), aviation (SAF precursor), and chemical industries (feedstock for plastics, adhesives, and pharmaceuticals).

Reolum product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Reolum develops integrated renewable energy projects combining biomass cogeneration, biogenic CO2 capture, green hydrogen electrolysis, and green e-Methanol synthesis. The company operates three flagship projects in Castile and León, Spain (La Robla Green, Villadangos Green, Monfarracinos Green), targeting a combined 420,000 tonnes/year of green e-Methanol production capacity for industrial decarbonization. In addition to project development, Reolum offers consulting services including feasibility studies, due diligence, repowering, financing structuring, and compliance review.
Product overview
Reolum develops integrated industrial projects for renewable energy and green fuels production. The company's core offering consists of three flagship projects (La Robla Green, Villadangos Green, Monfarracinos Green) that combine five interconnected technologies: biomass cogeneration, biogenic CO2 capture, green hydrogen production, and green e-Methanol synthesis. This integrated approach creates circular economy systems where agricultural waste generates renewable energy, captured CO2 becomes feedstock for e-Methanol, and byproducts like oxygen optimize combustion. In addition to project development, Reolum offers consulting services including feasibility studies, due diligence and site design, repowering, financing structuring, and audit and compliance review. The company targets industrial clients seeking to decarbonize shipping, aviation, and chemical sectors with premium-quality RFNBO-certified e-Methanol.

Reolum competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Forestalia: Spanish renewable energy developer focused on biomass and wind projects, and the previous employer of Reolum's two co-founders. Operates a comparable biomass/renewables project portfolio in the same Spanish regions, making it the most directly comparable Spanish peer.
- Norsk e-Fuel: Norway-based developer of e-methanol and e-SAF from green hydrogen and captured CO2. Closely comparable integrated renewable-fuel business model, with similar downstream focus on shipping and aviation decarbonization.
- Liquid Wind: Swedish e-methanol project developer building facilities that combine green hydrogen with biogenic CO2 to produce renewable methanol. Direct peer in technology stack and product offering, though focused on Nordic feedstock and offtake markets.
- HIF Global: Chile-headquartered developer of e-fuels (e-methanol, e-gasoline, e-kerosene) from green hydrogen and captured CO2. Closely comparable to Reolum in business model — integrated CO2 capture + green H2 + synthetic fuel production at industrial scale — though operating in different geographies.
- Greenalia: Spanish renewable energy developer with biomass cogeneration and wind assets in Galicia and northern Spain. Directly comparable in terms of Spanish biomass project development, offtake structure, and policy exposure, though without the green hydrogen / e-methanol integration.
Broad incumbents
- Yara International: Global nitrogen and chemicals major with a growing green ammonia and hydrogen business. Comparable as a developer of decarbonized chemical/fuel feedstocks from renewable hydrogen, though focused on ammonia rather than methanol.
- Iberdrola: Spain's largest utility and a major investor in green hydrogen and renewable generation in Spain. Comparable as a broad incumbent in Spanish renewable/green H2 infrastructure but with a much wider portfolio across wind, solar, networks, and conventional generation.
- ACCIONA Energía: Major Spanish renewable energy developer and a co-winner alongside Reolum in the third MITECO biomass auction. Overlaps in biomass generation and broader renewable project development, but operates at much larger scale and across wind/solar, not e-fuels.
Emerging players
- Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP): Energy infrastructure fund manager actively developing green hydrogen and Power-to-X projects across Europe. Comparable as a capital partner / co-developer in the same renewable-fuel project category, though more investor-of-record than operator.
Others
- Maersk (A.P. Møller-Mærsk): Global shipping major actively ordering methanol-dual-fuel vessels and signing long-term e-methanol offtake agreements. Relevant as the lead demand-side counterpart for green methanol producers like Reolum, but not a competing supplier.
