North Star
On the former GZI Emmen site (Gas Treatment Plant Emmen), Engie, Shell and Energy Beheer Nederland (EBN) are developing North Star, a biomethane production facility. The aim is to produce biomethane at the GZI Next site.
The project, known as North Star, involves the development of an anaerobic digestion facility with a production capacity of up to 39 million cubic metres of biomethane per year. By comparison, the NAM gas treatment plant previously produced 9 million Nm³ of methane per day.
If development proceeds according to plan, the biomethane facility is expected to become operational in 2026.
