Norwegian company hires Pöyry to design biomass-to-liquid biocrude plant

In Norway, Biozin Holding AS has awarded Pöyry with the Owner’s Engineering Services assignment for the pre-engineering phase for the planned biozin® production plant in Norway. The new plant will convert biomass to liquid biocrude that will be sold and further processed into transportation fuels in oil refineries. The work is scheduled to be carried out between 2018 and 2020.

Production of biozin® will be based on the licensed technology IH2® –  license held by CRI/Criterion Catalyst Company Limited. The IH2® technology is an efficient cost-effective technology to convert woody biomass and forest residues feedstock into renewable, low carbon, clean burning hydrocarbon transportation fuels.
