Transforming waste into innovation

Ecoplanta leads Spain’s circular economy with methanol production

Located in a facility on a petrochemical complex near the port of Tarragona (Spain), Ecoplanta will establish itself as an exemplary model for the transition towards a circular economy.

As the initial facility of its kind in Spain, it will manufacture circular methanol from non-recyclable waste and residual biomass. Ecoplanta will serve as a leading example of material reclamation, yielding new resources and reducing dependence on virgin materials.
