Canadian renewable energy firm Anaergia will supply 60,000 mt/year of liquified biogenic carbon dioxide for the next 10 years to European Energy’s e-methanol plant in Tønder, Denmark.

The biogenic carbon dioxide is captured during the decomposition of organic matter such as food waste, Anaergia said.

European Energy plans to have a capacity to produce between 200,000-300,000 mt of e-methanol by 2025.
