Waste Wood as Raw Material for Sustainable Energy: Perpetual Next and PreZero Netherlands Join Forces
Caroline Randall
Marketing Manager
Sustainable raw materials producer Perpetual Next and PreZero Netherlands, the European environmental services and waste management company that focuses on recycling, disposal, and circular economy solutions, announce their collaboration today. 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 raw material for the production of biomethanol and biomethane.
Perpetual Next has developed a standardized concept for the production of biomethanol, based on proven industrial 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 wood into sustainable biomethane for the Dutch gas grid.
