Amsterdam, September 3rd 2026 – Sustainable raw materials producer Perpetual Next and PreZero Netherlands, the European environmental services and waste management company thatfocuses on recycling, disposal, and circular economy solutions, announce their collaborationtoday.
PreZero will structurally supply Perpetual Next’s factories in the Netherlands – under development in Delfzijl and Moerdijk – with low-grade waste wood. This way, the wood is given a new purpose as rawmaterial for the production of biomethanol and biomethane.
Perpetual Next has developed a standardized concept for the production of biomethanol, based on provenindustrial technologies. This blueprint makes it possible to easily replicate this concept and roll it out on a large scale. Global demand for biomethanol is growing rapidly. Research by Intelmarket Research (May 2025) shows a compound (expected) annual growth rate of approximately 44.5% between 2025 and 2032.Perpetual Next is a shareholder in EemsGas in the Netherlands, which focuses on converting waste woodinto sustainable biomethane for the Dutch gas grid.
Jurre Hijman, Perpetual Next’s CCO: “A reliable supply of raw materials is crucial for stable production and predictable output in our factories. This makes PreZero an excellent partner. They supply not only the volumes,but also the quality that we need.”
Ruud Langenhuijsen, Product Manager Value Chain Wood at PreZero: “At PreZero, we ensure that as many raw materials as possible remain in the loop. Low-grade waste wood currently often has a low-gradedestination. By utilizing this stream for the production of biomethanol and biomethane, we preserve the valueof the raw material and make the industry more sustainable.”
