Planned capacity: 450,000 metric tons of bio-methanol
Uhde’s high-efficiency PRENFLO gasifier and advanced methanol synthesis technology

thyssenkrupp Uhde has been awarded a contract by Halifax-based Nova Sustainable Fuels (NSF) to perform an integration and optimization study for NSF’s biomass-to-methanol project in Nova Scotia, Canada. This study will quantify the value of thyssenkrupp Uhde’s integrated process, including both gasification and methanol synthesis for the production of over 450,000 metric tons of methanol per year using sustainable woody biomass as feedstock.

The project will leverage Uhde’s proven PRENFLO gasification technology combined with Uhde’s advanced methanol synthesis process. With thyssenkrupp Uhde providing both the gasification and methanol synthesis technology, NSF looks to validate assumed benefits in both overall system integration and the future bankability of the project. The study aims to provide a solid basis for future investment decisions and represents a significant step toward sustainable fuel production in Canada.
