Landfill Gas Biomethanol

Site to transform landfill gas into clean fuels with firm’s PureM technology.

KBR has been awarded a contract for its PureM green methanol technology by Fikrat Al-Tadweer for a pioneering biomethanol plant in Saudi Arabia designed to transform landfill-gas into clean fuels.

Under the terms of the contract, KBR says it will provide technology licensing, proprietary engineering design, catalyst and proprietary equipment for the biomethanol facility.

According to Houston-based KBR, PureM is designed for commercial-scale deployment with a low cost of renewable methanol production. The technology can utilize a wide range of feedstocks, including biogas, gasification-derived syngas, hydrogen and pure CO₂, enabling flexibility and efficiency.

“We are proud to support Fikrat Al-Tadweer in its groundbreaking biomethanol project, which aligns with Saudi Arabia’s national policy on eliminating landfill gas emissions and creating sustainable fuels,” says Jay Ibrahim, president of KBR sustainable technology solutions. “This collaboration underscores KBR’s commitment to enabling global energy security and supporting the Kingdom’s vision for a cleaner, greener future.”
