Titan has plans to construct a liquified biomethane (LBM, also known as bio-LNG) plant with an annual production capacity of 200,000 tonnes in the Port of Amsterdam.
The plant is claimed to become the largest LBM unit in the world, and will enable supply of LBM to ships and trucks.

Recently, Titan signed two contracts – one with biogas producer BioValue for off-take of all biogas produced on-site, and another with Linde Engineering for basic engineering works based on its liquification technology.
Titan will provide bulk of the LBM volumes generated at the plant to vessels of its launching customer.
It also plans to deliver the remaining volumes to truck restocking stations and industrial customers.

LBM will serve as a substitute of fossil fuels and help in reducing about a million tonnes of CO2 emissions each year, which is the equivalent of annual emissions from about 25% of all diesel cars in the Netherlands.

By GlobalDataTo be developed in line with the EU regulations, the plant will be situated next to Titan’s berth in the port, from which it will lease the land.
The first production from the plant is anticipated in 2025.
This project will obtain biogas from sustainable feedbacks that are International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) certified and compliant to recent EU Renewable Energy Directive.
Other sustainable integrations in the plant include hydrogen-ready design and capturing and using the biogenic CO2 side stream.
Titan CTO Ronald van Selm said: “Titan is committed to decarbonise shipping by supplying LBM and any other renewable fuels such as hydrogen-derived methane, also known as E-LNG. Strategic value chain collaborations are paramount to ramping up alternative fuel production to the scale required for shipping. We are proud of the joint efforts with BioValue and look forward to a long-lasting partnership.”
