May 07, 2026 [Storage Terminals Magazine]- Perpetual Next has selected JPB Logistics as its preferred partner for biomethanol storage and handling services at the company’s Delfzijl biomethanol facility in Farmsum.

Under the planned collaboration, JPB Logistics is expected to manage the storage, handling and logistics operations for biomethanol produced at the facility, including deliveries to third-party customers.

The Delfzijl project is being developed by DeltaNor B.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of Perpetual Next. The project involves the construction, financing, maintenance and operation of a biomethanol plant in Farmsum with an anticipated production capacity of 220,000 tonnes annually. The facility forms part of Perpetual Next’s broader strategy to advance circular and low-carbon industrial solutions by converting biogenic carbon streams into sustainable products such as biomethanol.

The companies have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) outlining plans to negotiate a definitive storage agreement for the project. Proposed storage capacity is expected to range between 21,000 and 35,000 gross cubic metres, depending on the final configuration. The planned logistics setup includes inbound pipeline transport and outbound barge movements through dedicated lines, with truck loading and unloading available as a contingency option.

Anthony Mayle, head of business development at Perpetual Next, said the selection of JPB Logistics marks an important milestone for the Delfzijl biomethanol facility, noting that dependable storage and outbound logistics are critical for establishing a robust and financeable value chain.

Patrick Trakzel, CEO of JPB Logistics B.V., said the company’s terminal and jetty infrastructure in Farmsum would help support the safe and efficient logistics required for a project of this scale.

The proposed partnership remains subject to several conditions, including Perpetual Next reaching a final investment decision for the Delfzijl project, successful project execution and agreement on final commercial terms.

Perpetual Next develops renewable commodity solutions by converting organic waste into products such as biomethanol, which can serve as a lower-carbon alternative to fossil-based methanol for use in chemicals, plastics, coatings and transport fuels. The company is developing a network of large-scale facilities in the Netherlands, Estonia and the United States as part of its efforts to support the transition to a circular and climate-neutral economy.
