📋 Tender Overview
The ECOPLANTA project will revolutionise municipal solid waste (MSW) management by using non-recyclable materials rejected by sorting centers to produce circular chemicals and advanced biofuels. The project will deliver a first-of-a-kind commercial plant for the European market, using waste that would otherwise end up in landfill. Located in a petrochemical complex in El Morell, near the port of Tarragona in Spain, the production site will produce 237 kt/y of methanol, and thereby recover 70% of the carbon present in the non-recyclable materials. The methanol produced will displace fossil-based chemicals and fuels. Based on the IF methodology, the project will achieve 3.4 Mt CO2eq of GHG emissions reductions over the first ten years of operation.
