US-headed HyOrc Corporation (HyOrc), a developer of advanced waste-to-fuels and external combustion technologies, has announced that it has entered into a binding project development and technology agreement with Bulgaria-based OnEnergy Group for the development of a waste-to-methanol facility.
Under the agreement, HyOrc has been appointed as the technology partner for Stage 3 of the project, focused on the thermochemical conversion of refuse-derived fuel (RDF) into green methanol.
The project is designed to process approximately 50,000 tonnes of RDF per annum, operating over ~330 days, with a daily throughput of approximately 150–155 tonnes, supporting an expected methanol production capacity of approximately 38–42 tonnes per day, subject to final engineering configuration.
The facility forms part of a broader integrated waste-to-energy (WtE) platform aligned with European Union priorities for decarbonisation, circular economy, and landfill diversion.
This project marks a key step for waste-to-energy in Bulgaria. Our goal is to build a strong and scalable foundation aligned with Europe’s decarbonisation goals, commented Arch Pavleta Pelovska, CEO of OnEnergy.
As part of the collaboration, HyOrc will lead the preparation of the technical components supporting the project’s progression through established European industrial development pathways, including the EU Innovation Fund.
The agreement relates to an advanced-stage waste-to-energy development platform in Bulgaria.
This project combines strong fundamentals with a clear pathway to execution, and we look forward to delivering a robust and scalable solution together with OnEnergy, said Reginald Fubara, CEO of HyOrc.
