Bell Bay

ABEL Energy is developing its flagship green methanol project, Bell Bay Powerfuels, in Bell Bay Tasmania, with the aim of producing 360,000 tonnes of renewable, green methanol per years. The plant will combine green hydrogen from a 300MW water electrolysis plant with synthesis gas from a biomass gasifier to produce green methanol. The production process will use 100% renewable power from hydro and new wind production assets, and biomass residues recovered from existing Tasmanian plantation forestry operations. Green methanol production is clean with virtually zero fossil fuel GHG emissions. Methanol is biodegradable and easy to handle as a clear liquid for use as a fuel or chemical feedstock.
